TotallyOz Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Flynt has always been on the cuff of controversy. He revels in it. Now, he says he has 30 more names that may drop from the prostitue scandle. Who are they? I expect Flynt will keep us guessing for a while. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRIuw_KXdvU Quote

I also hope he feeds out the names over a long period to prolong the agony for the guilty. He can't start too soon to suit me. It feels creepy to be cheering Flynt on, but of the two varieties of sleaze we are given to choose from, I'll go with the one that offers at least one redeeming social quality. Quote
Guest CTDick Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I'm of two minds on this issue. Being a member of this site, I obviously don't see a problem with hiring escorts "for time only." So, I hope that sympathetic government leaders who needed a little relaxation aren't hurt by this. BUT, I can't wait to watch hypocrites twisting slowly in the wind. Senator Vittle is just the first, I hope. Dick Quote

Senator Vittle is just the first, I hope. Dick I couldn't care less where our government officials stick their dicks as a pastime. From what I can tell, Flynt feels the same. My understanding of his goal in releasing the names is not to out mere fornicators and adulterers, but to out those who also represent themselves as paragons of morality, who bring their fake morality to their public service and who use it as a cudgel agaist people whose morality is no worse than their own. Arguably better. Vetter meets these qualifications. I'm looking forward with admittedly uncharitable glee to seeing how many others do. Parenthetically, Vetter has already absolved himself by getting his wife to forgive him publicly, albeit through clenched teeth. Further, he claims God has forgiven him, though doesn't say how he came by that presumption. The forgiveness could have come in the course of a personal chat. God must have to work scads of overtime to get around to all the Republicans who feel empowered to converse with Him at will. Quote
TotallyOz Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 I too am of the opinion that those who hire hookers are OK and should be afforded complete privacy. Having run an escort service for many years, I never once revealed a clients information to anyone including friends and family. It is just not the way it should be done. When you use a service, you deserve TOTAL prlvacy IMHO. I do think it is hypotrical to speak from your mouth about morality and then hire hookers and have orgies when no one is looking. However, is it possible to get elected otherwise? How many Senators would we have if they had been porn stars or admitted they hired hookers or love to smoke weed? I know I would vote for them but would the majority? I loved the fact that our ex president got head from a hot chick. It made me want to vote for him as opposed to throw him out of office. Quote

Not from the DC Madam's list; rather an instance of how these hijinks predictably extend down into state and local politics. I have known the repugnant gentleman in question for far too long, and am having some of the best schadenfreude I can remember. Double bonus -- he is not only a Republican moralizer/martinet, but also a state-level Baptist big shot. Again, with Stu and Oz, the point is not where he sticks it, but the pleasure of seeing hypocrisy exposed. Ex-legislator in sex scandal KANNAPOLIS - Coy Privette, a retired Baptist pastor, conservative lawmaker and outspoken advocate for Christian groups, was charged Thursday with paying a 32-year-old Salisbury prostitute for sex acts. The 74-year-old Cabarrus County commissioner was arrested at his home in Kannapolis early Thursday. He appeared before a Rowan County magistrate on six misdemeanor charges and was released on a promise to appear in court Aug. 22. He did not return e-mail messages or calls to his cell and home phones, and no one answered the door at his Kannapolis home. Privette, a prominent Republican with a 30-year career, is one of the state's most vocal opponents of alcohol sales and legal gambling. He also serves on the State Baptist Convention of North Carolina and as president of the Christian Action League of North Carolina. ... http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/643454.html ...and to boot, all that trouble for this: http://charlotte.johnlocke.org/blog/?p=1656 Quote

Do you have a way of rubbing it in mercilessly? His taste in bedmates is a bit implausible, but at his age and with what must surely be his inborn Republican sense of thrift, it's possible to imagine he could do even worse. Has anyone ever remarked that Coy Privette sounds like a drag name? Is he a closet tranny? Quote

When you use a service, you deserve TOTAL prlvacy IMHO. Rhetorically, if you were indicted, think you may change how you feel? Would you go to jail to ensure the total privacy of others? If records still exist, there is still the possibility someone else could acquire them and not have the same since of privacy you do. They may look to make a quick buck and give 'ol Larry a buzz.

Guest Conway Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I remember Coy Privette from my days of doing some political work in North Carolina. He wasn't taken very seriously by the powers that be in the state at the time because basically, he was a two issue politician from one of the backwards mill towns outside Charlotte. He was actually kind of a genial old fellow, but dumber than a rock. I don't remember him having any specific anti-gay agenda (though it could be that my memory of him is not so strong-he just wasn't that memorable). I do remember that he was strongly opposed to allowing the sale of alcohol in his home -Cabarrus County (which was dry until a number of years ago) and he was anti-lottery. His argument was that each would cause a societal decline- a laughable idea if you'd ever seen how little society had naturally progressed in the two big towns in that county over time. There were much worse local demagogues across the river in Charlotte than Privette. Specifically, the Reverend Joe Chambers, who with his band of single digit IQ'd morons managed to shut down the traveling tour of "Angels in America" in the late 90s among other things. On another topic, just who the hell writes a check to a prostitute? Quote
TotallyOz Posted July 24, 2007 Author Posted July 24, 2007 On another topic, just who the hell writes a check to a prostitute? You would be amazed at the number that writes checks and that use credit cards. Accepting credit cards more than doubled the amount of calls we had. When long time trips went out, the majority wanted to pay part with check or CC. I never once had a check bounced. When Paypal was easily used for adult businesses, there were also many that wanted to use that account. Quote

I come from a long line of Southern fishermen. A bit of truth mixed with a dash of bullshit to make things sound a bit more savory. The family always said I'd either be a preacher or a lawyer. Both know how to spin their version. Quote

I guess that it surprises me that someone like Coy Privette, who would be most likely to seek anonimity in such a relationship would be dumb enough to create some sort of paper trail between himself and the hooker. As I noted, he was never known as the sharpest knife in the drawer. Quote
AdamSmith Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 He was actually kind of a genial old fellow, but dumber than a rock. You have a way with understatement. I don't remember him having any specific anti-gay agenda Same here. Conceivably he never realized "gay" has an alternate meaning? I do remember that he was strongly opposed to allowing the sale of alcohol in his home -Cabarrus County (which was dry until a number of years ago) and he was anti-lottery. In the matter of demon rum, Privette follows who I understand to have been one of his idols, the late J. Marse Grant - remember him? Avenging angel and dread editor of The Biblical Recorder. Went up in flames when the state legislature finally allowed liquor by the drink (reversible locally, of course). His argument was that each would cause a societal decline- a laughable idea if you'd ever seen how little society had naturally progressed in the two big towns in that county over time. Kannapolis as H.P. Lovecraft's "Innsmouth"... love it. ...the local paper loves it too: Quote
