Have We Struck Bottom Yet?

Sadly, I think not.

Larry Flynt, recently denied the right to have his reporters escorted to the frontlines of military conflicts by American troops at taxpayer expense, says he has proof that President Bush knew a girl who had an abortion in the early 1970's. (And Moby had nothing to do with it.)

"This story has got to come out," the wheelchair-bound Hustler magazine honcho told the Daily News' Corky Siemaszko. "There's a lot of hypocrisy in the White House about this whole abortion issue."

He's not going to release it now though, it's going to be in a book he'll publish this summer.

Meanwhile, alleged Philidelphia Gym teacher Atrios provides insight to the make-believe world of the American Left

Larry Flynt says he's finally "nailed" the Bush abortion story. I'm sure the media, who spent the past week reporting on BS scandal-mongering from Drudge, will universally condemn Flynt for daring to do such a thing, as they did when he rightly thought that the hypocritical behavior by certain Republicans during the impeachment fiasco was newsworthy.

Wow, what media was that?

Atrios then attempts to cast his own well-earned imaginary aura of credibilty over the Hustler publisher:

I'd also like the media to consider one thing - compare Flynt's batting average with Drudge's. While the media will jump to condemn Flynt, they should recognize that Flynt has higher journalistic standards than any of them for this kind of thing. He doesn't run with things until he has multiple sources. This story may or may not be true, but frankly I have a lot more faith in the accuracy of Flynt's reporting than I do in a lot of the mainstream press. The recent week has only re-confirmed that.

This re-confirms why Philly gym teachers need anonymity on the web. Americans in general don't want people who think that way teaching their young sons to wrestle.
