All 535 members of Congress get Hustler

WASHINGTON - The porn magazine arrives every month at your congressman's office.
Tucked in a conservative-looking manila envelope, the latest edition of Hustler goes to all 535 members of Congress. Free of charge.

Not that most members want it. It usually gets thrown in the circular file marked "trash."  Yeah, right.

But like clockwork, it keeps coming, despite efforts to have it stop.

The spokesman for Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, recently tried to halt the mailing. Nope.

Several members of Congress have sued to make it stop, only to lose. Something about the public being able to seek redress from Congress means they have to take it, apparently. But that doesn't mean they have to be happy about it.

"It's a disgusting abuse of the system," Cannon says. "It's a nasty, tricky little thing to do by a person with no conscience."

The magazines have been coming for more than a decade at least. Publisher Larry Flynt says he started sending them as soon as his magazine began publication in 1974, but an Associated Press story from 1983 has Flynt initiating the mailings that year.

Either way, he's not going to stop mailing Congress.

"I felt that they should be informed with what's going on in the rest of the world," Flynt says, deadpanning during an interview: "Some of them didn't appreciate it much."

Flynt is an American hero.

Betcha Ted Kennedy's (and quite a few others) doesn't get thrown away.

If any of them have a problem with it they should donate it their copy to me. I'll put it to good use.

I love the righteous indignation spewed by those hypocrites.





Eat shtein and die, freaks.

You know at least half of them that throw it out later fish it out of the trash.

How many of them look at it and then suggest certain positions to their secretaries?
