Poll question: Which Senator will be the Larry Flynt "Shocker"?

Last night on Larry King, Larry Flynt said he had 30 names so far from the DC Madam List. He couldn't decide if he should release them all at once, or one at a time... drip, drip, drip. While I favor the "drip, drip, drip" method of release, he said another thing that completely caught my imagination: "I was shocked, especially at one senator..."

KING: Larry, without naming them, because we stand under legal protection here, are others coming?

FLYNT: Oh, yes. We've gotten 10 times more leads from the recent ad in "The Post" than we got during the Clinton impeachment. Unbelievable. We've got...

KING: Ten times more leads?

FLYNT: Yes.

KING: Does that mean you have phone numbers that you're following up?

FLYNT: Not just phone numbers.

KING: Names?

FLYNT: We've got good leads. We've got over 300 initially. And they're down to about 30 now which is solid.

KING: When are you going to print?

FLYNT: Well, the last thing now is we don't know if we want to let it to drip, drip, drip or we want to go with everything at once.

KING: You mean you might release 30 names at once?

FLYNT: A good possibility.

KING: Will we be -- I don't want to get into names yet. Will we be shocked?

FLYNT: Yes.

KING: Were you shocked?

FLYNT: I was shocked, especially at one senator but...

KING: One senator especially?

FLYNT: Yes.

Ummmmm........

all of them?????

It's part of their "moral values agenda". They're trying to teach these women (or men) the moral value of "love thy neighbor"!!

7. Which repukes are breeders?

So many of them are closet queens that this might be tricky.

Flynt is very partisan, so it will definitely be a Repuke.

Since it's someone who also went after Clinton.

10. I love the idea that something can still shock Flynt

By this time, I'd have thought that he was entirely shock-resistant.

How refreshing this must be for him!

21. He's not shocked. He's having a great time.

Refreshing? Come on. He's enjoying every minute. He's doing this for self-serving purposes, because people in politics have made trouble for him, not because he really cares about honesty in the rest of the country.

12. What a brilliant strategy!

Every moral, upstanding Senator must fancy himself to be the most shocking of all shocking hypocrits, and 30 secrets would pretty much cover the current population of male GOP Senators.

Of course, no reason to assume that the "shocker" is male...

Of all the Goopers listed in the poll, I believe revelation of something cheap & tawdry on My Bitch Mitch would do the most damage at this particular point in time.

this is ruining the lives of the rest of the people in the family. If the wife and kids didn't know about it, well, they do now.

And they probably want to shoot themselves.

otherwise it wouldn't be a shock.

23. Oh lord let it be Inhofe

this holier than tho sack of human excrement makes me ill every time he speaks on TV. Nowhere in the MSM have we ever heard he was heading for indictment for doing something with the funds from an Insurance company he ran. But at the last minute some high up intervened and he got off. Do they tell us about it hell no. And he brags about his family not being gay etc etc. Those are they type of people I like to see get caught up.

I really truly believe, prostitution should be regulated and legal. I don't care what other people say. If people are going to patronize those places why not keep it out in the open.

His neoluddite stance is enough for me to celebrate if he goes down. It'd raise the IQ of the Senate by 10 points if he resigned.

Bible-thumping Republicans aren't the only people in Washington with a libido.

(They sure look the most foolish, though, when they get caught stroking it--
surprise, America! Abstinence ain't so hot after all!)

It'll be a Fundie bigot, most likely from the South. Or Orrin Hatch.

Sam Brownback has missed 85 votes (33.6%) during the current Congress. See a list of his missed votes since 1991 or see a full list of vote missers.

He's missed 33.6% of the votes of the current Congress? He must be somewhere doing something!

49. Other: A female senator

Considering that almost all sexual exploits of politics tend to revolve around men and Larry Flynt is very accustomed to male senators (politicians) being horn-dogs who say one thing and do another, I am guessing the only person Flynt would find to be a "shocker" is a female.

Has there been any political women involved in sex scandals? I am not talking the "Hillary is a lesbian" variety of rumors, but actual scandals? Anyone know?
