Larry Flynt, the porn-industry magnate who first linked Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) to the escort service of the "D.C. Madam," said Wednesday that his investigators are tracking more than 20 leads on alleged congressional sex scandals.

As Vitter remained missing in action for two Senate votes on defense policy, Flynt insisted that he exposed the conservative lawmaker's sexual indiscretions only because they contradicted Vitter's longtime defense of the "sanctity of marriage."

"If someone's living a life contrary to the way they're advocating ... then they become fair game," Flynt told reporters. "I don't want a man like that legislating for me, especially in the area of morality."

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'd have to agree with Flynt on that one.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Someone who claims to be fighting immorality had better be 100% absolute pure. As the rabbi said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Noooooooo, you only have to be 100% pure if you're claiming to be white as the driven snow.

I don't think Flint has ever made any such claims.

@ Lulu124

AdipicAcid was refering to the lack of purity of Sen. Vitter who has championed various Christian conservative positions, most notably a Constitutional amendment to “protect traditional marriage”.

Larry Flynt on the other hand is being a bit of fool since the blogosphere and journalists are going to go hog wild searching for politicians on this DC madame phone list with or without his cash money incentive.

Question: Is there a gag order on the Madame herself from listing by name the johns that used her service? It wouldn't be libel if she can prove it with her phone list, correct?

You mistook the party I directed my advice to. It wasn't Flynt, but the moralists he is attacking.
