Skin Flint

Times are really tough … and I mean tough. It seems that the pornography industry is suffering because of the softening in our economy. Because the porn industry is barely making it, Larry Flint, publisher of a series of skin magazines (“Hustler”, “Barely Legal”) is traveling to Washington along with Joe Francis (“Girls Gone Wild”) to beseech Congress to pony up $5 billion of aid to revitalize their industry. Flynt is quoted as saying, "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America." Why not? Banks are screwing us. Wall Street is screwing us. The auto industry is screwing us. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are screwing us. Why not Larry Flint and Joe Francis? We could call it the "Public Money for Private Parts" bill.
