Congress Prudish on Porn Bailout

Joe Francis and Larry Flynt have a hard battle ahead if they plan on getting any bailout money from the government -- because based on the responses of several congressmen -- and even a senator -- who were out in D.C. yesterday, nailing down support is gonna be a lot tougher than getting drunk girls to take their tops off.

17. "BAIL OUT PORN DEALERS....NO FRICKIN WAY"
Um, folks, Larry Flynt has a history of mocking things. Wearing an American flag diaper in court, etc. Don't get all hung up on it, and there wont be any need to move to Canada. I hate to even pretend to know what he's thinking, but my guess is, based on his rather rich history, is he's illustrating the craziness of all the bailouts. Take a deep breath and stop writing in all caps.

18. Even the site you are writting at TMZ is run by hollywood union People that give you the freedom to write here and that help provide the internet.The problem is even people like reagan turn on the union that built him....Hollywood would fall apart without the union and the airways were safer with the union.unions don`t over pay anyone-the market place has fallin apart and has to be rebuilt...changes makes for a changeing market place and people get displaced and so on.Jobs go away countrys fall apart but cheap labor will only put you in a slave camp in china full of lead...Unions saves lives makes for a safer workplace.Retool start over start up...free trade for small biz not college`s owning all patents for nothing by SS kichen cabinets.A even playing feild is a must for america`s to have build and live in.

20. Just a publicity stun. Nothing against porn but really, I'd tell Joe and Larry to go jack each other off.

21. hollywood should be busted apart sinmply because of the ungoldly ideas in poisons our society with. Where do all the hollywood people spend thier money? Everywhere else but here. I bet if we asked each hollywood millionaire to give up 100,000 dollars our economy would be great and they would still be rich!!!!

23. I can't believe Flynt and Francis are serious. But if the porn industry has fallen on hard times (pun intended), they should realize that porn is purchased with discretionary income, which there's not a lot of right now. Also they should realize the internet is over-saturated with the stuff. And the prices charged for some new titles are almost double what Hollywood charges for a new blockbuster release. Porn prices have to come down to earth before you price yourself out of business.

27. I have been wondering about why Whites are racists, and no other race is.
Proud to be White Michael Richards makes his point...
Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.
This was his defense speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points...
Someone finally said it... How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Ameri cans, Arab Americans, etc. And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman' ... and that's OK.
But when I call you, ANY name... You call me a racist.
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day. You have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi. You have the NAACP. You have BET... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists. If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance'
OUR, lives we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any color can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US.
Yet if there were 'White colleges' That would be a racis t college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights.
If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange,
and you're not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud... But you call me a racist
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
There is nothing improper about thispost. Let's see which of you are proud enough to aggree. I sadly don't think many will. That's why we have lost most of OUR RIGHTS in this country. We won't stand up for ourselves!
