DEM. JOE LIEBERMAN

Asshole of the Month from HUSTLER MAGAZINE April 2010

What the heck was Al Gore thinking when he ran for President in 2000? Joe Lieberman for V.P.? The Democrat from Connecticut had won a Senate seat in 1988 with the support of conservative Republicans who wanted the more liberal Lowell Weicker out. Lieberman was also the first Dem to publicly criticize Bill Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. And he'd sided with the GOP in 1995 to limit punitive damage awards in product-liability...

Larry Flynt Urges Sen. Vitter to Personally Contribute to BP Oil Spill Clean-Up

Hustler Publisher requests Senator to donate "diapers and other personal items" to control costly effects of the disaster.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – July 1, 2010 – As rough seas from Hurricane Alex delay oil clean-up operations on the Gulf Coast, Hustler Magazine publisher, Larry Flynt, in a letter to Republican Senator David Vitter today, urged the Louisiana lawmaker to personally contribute "diapers and other personal items" in an effort to control the costly effects of the eleven week old...

THE ISRAELIS NEXT DOOR

HOW ISRAEL DICTATES U.S. POLICY IN THE MIDDLE EAST

by Christopher Ketcham

for HUSTLER Magazine – April 2010

Israel's military dominance in the Middle East depends heavily on U.S. aid, totaling more than $140 billion since the Jewish state's inception in 1948. Any reduction in that generous support terrifies our ally because U.S. policy is considered absolutely crucial for Israel's survival as the regional hegemon. This explains why its intelligence and political action network, unrivaled by...

AYAHUASCA, IT'S A MIND F*CK

WORSHIP IN THE RIGHT CHURCH AND YOU CAN DO THIS PSYCHEDELIC DRUG LEGALLY. TOO BAD THEY PROBABLY WON'T LET YOU JOIN.

by Justin Hampton

for HUSTLER Magazine – April 2010

All those involved in the ceremony assemble in a circle. The aging hippie across the room may want to better understand death before he eventually faces it. The pale-skinned waitress states she's looking for a release from anxiety and fear. And perhaps someone here wants to learn how to manipulate others. One by one, each...

LARRY FLYNT IN CONVERSATION WITH EDWARD NORTON

THROW THE BASTARDS OUT!

OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES ON CAPITOL HILL HAVE SCREWED US RIGHT AND LEFT. IT'S TIME TO SEND A POWERFUL MESSAGE.

by Alex Bennett

From HUSTLER MAGAZINE – March 2010

The other day I saw an interview with that enemy of the people, Glenn Beck. I've always believed the adage that even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and Beck proved me right when he said, "Everybody is mad at Washington."

The people who disgusted me at those televised town hall meetings and at the March on Washington—yelling a...

LOOKING FOR HEROES

From HUSTLER MAGAZINE – March 2010

America is obsessed with heroes. The Old West had Bat Masterson and Wild Bill Hickok. Later came President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, General George S. Patton, President John F. Kennedy, astronaut Neil Armstrong and, most recently, airline pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.

Heroes are resilient, unflappable and, most of all, masculine. If someone doesn't appear to be strong, Americans will back away.We tend to dislike people who are weak.

Barack Obama was...

REP. MICHELE BACHMANN

Asshole of the Month from HUSTLER MAGAZINE March 2010

God, she's stupid! There are breadsticks with a higher IQ than Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota). But, honestly, if you're into older women, she is very fuckable. Not warm and fuzzy "I love you" fuckable. More like boundgagged- and-hooked-up-to-an- Accu-Jack fuckable. And ya know, Michele probably needs a good fuck because her husband certainly doesn't look up to the task. We're not saying Dr. Marcus Bachmann is gay, but he sure ...

BANKING BANDITS: BUSINESS AS USUAL?

A LAWMAKER DEMANDS AN AUDIT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK, BUT OBAMA AND HIS BRAIN TRUST REFUSE TO MAKE THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY "NERVOUS."

by Robert Scheer

From HUSTLER MAGAZINE March 2010

You don't have to salute every time Ron Paul raises the libertarian flag, and personally I don't like leaving education, health and Social Security to the tender mercies of the inevitably rapacious capitalist markets. But the Republican congressman from Texas is on target with his bill demanding a full public...

CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

From HUSTLER MAGAZINE – April 2010

There's only one way to eliminate the corruption that has cast its dark shadow over America's political system: We must eliminate campaign contributions, which have turned our congressmen and senators into puppets of Big Business. That means the government, using taxpayer dollars, would finance each candidate's campaign. Only then will we be able to return political power to the people. Until we remove the money of the rich and powerful from the electoral...
