I've never seen this Charley Daniels primitive before, but am already wondering where he belongs on the pantheon on Skins's island, probably one of the uppermost ones.

Larry Flynt says more Dems on Palfrey's list than Republicans
Also, Vitter was the only name on list that met Flynt's interest in exposing hypocritical politicians.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,353876,00.html
...Flynt said he believes that in her quest to avoid prison time -- her sentencing hearing had been scheduled for July -- Palfrey was prepared to release one or two final names connected to her case.
... He said he knew some of the clients' names, and they include big-hitters in the political and media worlds. None of those names came to light, though, because they didn't fit the mold that Flynt was pushing for: politicians who said one thing and did another. Only Vitter, Flynt said, appeared to match that description.
But Flynt hinted at much juicier material to be unearthed.
"Let me put it this way, there were more Democrats on it than Republicans," he said, supporting his theory that the only reason this case was of interest was because of the number of Democrats who could be targeted by the Bush administration.
But Flynt said his conversations with Palfrey were off the record, and if any investigators come knocking on his door for names, they'll have to look elsewhere.
Flynt said the only person who might know more about those conversations with Palfrey is Moldea, who was working with Palfrey on a book. Flynt said he has no financial stake in that book
----------------------------------------
You want to know why no names were released after Vitter and the two or three others? Seems as though there was no real scandal value in them as Flynt sees it.
Doesn't sound like Flynt's going to be naming any others either.
Incidentally, Moldea (the other source) is the one who said Palfrey said she'd commit suicide before going back to jail.

1. In the public interest that list needs to be revealed. Every unrevealed name on that list is a potential blackmail target who needs to be put out of any position of public trust.
The noteless primitive should give it up.
Vast Teddy and Blarney Flank decades later are still in the "public trust," at least in Massachusetts.

2. I agree that any politician (R) or (D) on that list needs to be forced to come clean
for exactly the same reason.
A number of spy scandals have been started up as a result of the spy being blackmailed with exposure of his daliances.

3. That answers one question
I posted before about visiting some RW web sites and seeing that they aren't buying the "suicide" angle either. I wonder if the Bush admin has the list and are waiting for the right time to release it?
How reliable is Flynt? It seems when he has the dirt on repubs, people here push for him to speak out, now what.
I think it's rather obvious what "what" is going to be. Utter silence.

4. Palfrey was not marketing underage boys,...
of COURSE the the list was top heavy with Democrats!
I dunno. What was his name, Gary Stubbs or something, that guy from Massachusetts who had a thing for boys? And didn't Blarney Flank come close to crossing the line, if he didn't in fact cross the line?
And I'm not thinking of e-mails here; I'm thinking of actual physical activities, a distinction which needs made.

6. She could have been suicided but probably wasn't as much as people want to think it
She was free on bond from the time the trial ended up till yesterday. If she truly had any earth-shaking names she had no shortage of opportunities to spill her guts to any number of reporters. If I thought I was going down I would have chosen the very first moment I had to start taking people down with me.
The fact that she didn't do exactly that and the fact that Flynt has said Vitter was the only name he found worthy of exposing as a "family values" hypocrite pretty much seems to say there was no "blow your socks off" revelation in the future.
By the way, does anybody know what this celebrity chick looked like?
A 6, a 7, an 8, an 8.5, or what?
