I never expected that the man who ran Hustler magazine had such strong political views, and could express them with such ease and conviction. After reading only a couple of pages in the bookstore, I knew I had to bring it home.
First and foremost, Larry Flynt has an uncanny ability to expose the hypocrisy of those who were aghast at Clinton's escapades, the shenanigans of the Christian right, and how the press has attacked the everything Clinton while virtually ignoring the lies and distortions of the right.
Flynt brings us example after example of hypocrisy whether it's Pat Robertson or Rush Limbaugh. He particularly eviscerates Limbaugh who claims to represent the common man, who drinks $2000 bottles of wine, but was turned in by his common housekeeper even after he gave her an extra $120,000 to keep quiet about it. (Has anyone noticed that the Rush story has died since his admission?)
Flynt's book has no deep revelations, but may contain dozens of bits of information that we would never have heard through the mainstream media. It is honest, and it is plainly written. You get the impression that he is in the room talking to you. It is also entertaining. This book is defintely worth the time and money.
The ultimate irony? I got the impression that this man "practices" more Christian values than all the Pat Robertson's in the country, that he is a man of his word.

(Most "Non-Christians" do live a more "Christian" life than Christians. I've begun to think of "Christian" as synonymous with Evil Satanist.)
