Democratic Underground - Flynt Hint: says he has "solid leads" on an '08 candidate...

And since he's hot on the trail of self-righteous, moralizing hypocrites... who could it be?

I talked to Flynt shortly after last week's announcement. I wondered if he is bitter that Vitter had beaten him to the announcement. "Listen," he said, "we're going to have a field day with all the new material we've collected."

"I have never had so many promising leads from an ad," he told me. "The results have shocked a cynical old fellow like myself."

In terms of partisanship, he was also quite blunt. "I cut nobody no slack: I let the chips fall where they may," he said.

Finally I asked Flynt a question burning in the minds of so many D.C. insiders. Would he be willing to say, for the record, whether or not he had any solid leads on '08 presidential candidates.

He chuckled, "We definitely do."

I HOPE it's this guy:

Why would Flynt go after Giuliani? As mayor of NYC, Rudy launched a jihad on pornographers/pornography/sex clubs and sex-oriented businesses:

Here’s part of a 1994 New York Times Article:

“City Council members yesterday agreed to Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani’s plan for a one-year moratorium on opening or expanding any sex-oriented video store, theater or bar. … Norman Siegel, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said the moratorium was a violation of the First Amendment, and added that he expected his group would file a suit against the city on behalf of the adult-entertainment businesses.”

In 2001, The New York daily News reported:

Mayor Giuliani revived his crusade to crush smut shops and X-rated clubs yesterday - vowing to seal a loophole in a 1990s law that failed to slow the topless dancing and porno video trades in many neighborhoods. … The mayor said his proposal would let city inspectors take into account other factors - such as the prominence of sex-related items - when deciding whether to shut an establishment. The proposal also would require owners to place partitions between the adult and non-adult portions of their businesses - helping to end “sham efforts” to sidestep the law, Giuliani said.”

The New York Daily News also reported in 2001:

“Mayor Giuliani’s tough new zoning restrictions on sex shops drew mostly yelps of protest yesterday at their first public airing at City Hall. The complaints came from a parade of lawyers for X-rated businesses, the New York Civil Liberties Union … the proposed new restrictions, which are aimed at tightening the definition of adult establishments subject to the much-litigated 1995 zoning law. Eliminated would be the so-called 60-40 loophole that allowed scores of sex-related businesses to stay open by devoting at least 60% of their inventory or floor space to nonadult material or activities. The proposed new rules would empower the city Buildings Department commissioner to use customer activity and volume of sales, along with physical features, to impose the zoning restrictions.”
