Flynt Watch

You gotta admit, Larry Flynt hunts down hypocrites the way Simon Wiesenthal once rooted out Nazis, and he told Larry King last night that his hard work data-mining the DC Madam's phone list is paying big dividends. Flynt sez he's got another 30 or so Beltway power brokers on the hook, the only holdup is whether to let the news out slowly or bring 'em all down at once.

FLYNT: We've got good leads. We've got over 300 initially. And they're down
to about 30 now which is solid.




KING: When are you going to print?




FLYNT: Well, the last thing now is we don't know if we want to let it to
drip, drip, drip or we want to go with everything at once.




KING: You mean you might release 30 names at once?




FLYNT: A good possibility.




KING: Will we be -- I don't want to get into
names yet. Will we be shocked?




FLYNT: Yes.




KING: Were you shocked?




FLYNT: I was shocked, especially at one senator but...




KING: One senator especially?




FLYNT: Yes.

A savvy media guy like Larry will probably do the math and figure bringing down one or two sanctimonious hypocrites a month for a couple of years will sell a helluva a lot more magazines.
