In June we reported that Hustle Magazine publisher Larry Flynt was on the hunt for a new Washington political sex scandal.
An advertisement in the Washington Post from Flynt was seeking individuals who have had “a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official”.
And now it appears that Flynt, a Democratic Party sympathiser, has got his meat.
Earlier in the week a Republican US Senator from the state of Louisiana, David Vitter contacted media and apologized for what he said was “a very serious sin” and that he had “asked for and received forgiveness from God and from my wife in confession and marriage counseling.”
This was apparently tied to the so called DC Madam scandal that has been rocking the US Capital for some months now, leaving resignations from various US government officials in it’s wake.
Now, Hustler is claiming credit for the outing, saying Vitter confessed after one of it’s journalist reported finding the senator’s number in the escort service’s phone records.
“Larry Flynt’s ongoing investigation into the dirty secrets of prominent elected officials has exposed another hypocrite,” Hustler said.
Some questions remain; will there be more political sex scandals to come? And, was someone payed the US $1million to uncover this latest sex scandal?
