Porn mogul Larry Flynt offered disgraced US lawmaker Anthony Weiner a job Thursday, after the New York congressman resigned over a tawdry "sexting" scandal.

Hustler founder Flynt said he would pay Weiner, who posted pictures of his intimate anatomy to a number of women on Twitter, 20 percent more than what he earned in the House of Representatives.

"After having learned of your sudden and compelled resignation from your congressional post, I would like to make you an offer of employment at Flynt Management Group, LLC in our Internet group," he wrote.

"This offer is not made in jest. To show our sincerity, Flynt Management Group, LLC is willing to pay 20 percent more than your former congressional salary," he added, also promising to pay medical cover and relocation costs.

1. I think this has been posted only 3 times in the last two days...

Not exactly Late Breaking News.

2. Hats off to Larry

I know I'll hear about this, but unlike corporate owned bluedogs, I am still free to speak my mind. Larry has long been one of free speechs' best friends and a tireless exposer of republican hypocrisy. Glad someone still has some integrity.

3. Larry Flynt publicity stunts don't qualify as Late Breaking News.

Try the Entertainment Forum with this crap.

4. Free Speech

Larry took .44 magnum slugs for free speech. Are we still living with the "patriot act"?

6. That was breaking news. This is not.

I'm not a big fan of Larry Flynt.

[Logical]

7. Why? He might be more progressive than you are. n-t

[MineralMan]

8. I doubt that very much.

However, even if he were, I wouldn't be fan. I consider him to be a slimy individual, and don't like him. I don't like people just because they are progressives. I'm not required to. When I say I'm not a fan of Larry Flynt, that is simply a statement of fact. It requires no interpretation on your part. Many people share my opinion, including many progressives. You do not? OK.

9. If you do not want discussion on it then why mention it here? Just keep it to your damn self! n-t

[MineralMan]

10. I don't take orders on what to discuss and what not to discuss

from you or anyone else. I mention it because I wished to mention it. You responded.

You may not tell me what, when, or where I may post on DU. Well, you may tell me, but you can count on me to ignore such nonsense.

[Logical]

11. Glad you realize you are wrong! Thanks! n-t

[unionworks]

12. That's O.K.

And I can understand why some people might not be. That is absolutely your right. I still laugh when i remember Larry going after the republicans when they went after Clinton over Monica Lewinski. When it seems all is lost, help sometimes comes from the most unexpected places... :) Larry would probably be the first to tell you that he doesn't weat a halo. Neither did Ben Franklin, whom he reminds me of a great deal.O8)

5. Weiner response: "Thanks, Larry, but you're not really helping me here."

The Pink Pony is capitalizing on this too...


*I'm not actually sure that's a real Pink Pony ad

13. Boy, no judgements in THAT headline, nosirree

That's some straight-up reporting.
