Members of Congress to continue receiving Hustler magazine for free


I had to dig deep to find this one, but Yahoo! India has an article attributed to a news agency called DPA that shows the generous side of Hustler publisher Larry Flynt.

According to the article, Flynt has sent members of congress free copies of Hustler for many years. Perhaps this monthly gift explains the behavior of former Senator Gary Hart.

Some members of Congress have complained about receiving the raunchy rag and have tried to keep it out of the congressional mailroom, as reported by the Salt Lake Tribune.

But the unfortunately named (for this topic, at least) Sergeant at Arms of the Senate, William H. Pickle sent a memo to members of Congress stating:

As with any other piece of mail, your office may immediately discard or destroy any unwanted item.

So, men and women of Congress: It's okay to toss out your Hustler magazines.
