Hustler: We Outed Vitter By Paul Kiel - July 10, 2007, 1:38 PM A press release just out from Kim Dower, Larry Flynt's spokesperson: As of 2 p.m. West Coast time on Monday, only Larry Flynt and the HUSTLER investigative team knew that Vitter¹s phone number appeared on the phone records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the so-called D.C. Madam. Within hours of obtaining the phone records, Flynt¹s team found what ABC News has so far been unable to ferret out. Flynt's team is currently continuing its investigation into improprieties by other high-ranking elected officials. Senator Vitter, a churchgoing Catholic who is married and has four children, is seen as a hard-line right-winger. A staunch supporter of President Bush, Vitter has built his reputation on family-values platforms such as marriage protection and abstinence-only programs. In opposition to same-sex marriage, Vitter recently stated, "Marriage is a core institution of societies throughout the world and throughout history. It's something that has provided permanence and stability for our very social structure." Sen. Vitter announced his support for Rudy Giuliani in March and was tapped by the presidential nomination candidate to serve as his Southern Regional Chair. Update: Here's more on this from Justin over at the Blotter. Update: So maybe Vitter doesn't have such a blind faith in the Fourth Estate. Oh well.
Larry Flynt's ongoing investigation into the dirty secrets of prominent elected officials has exposed another hypocrite. Monday's confession of marital infidelity by GOP right-wing marriage-protection advocate Senator David Vitter of Louisiana was the result of a multi-pronged investigation launched and run by Larry Flynt, publisher of HUSTLER Magazine. Within hours of a phone call from the offices of HUSTLER Magazine asking Vitter to comment on an article HUSTLER reporters were working on, Vitter ran to the Associated Press in an attempt to get ahead of the story.

So Private Investigator Dan Moldea, who is writing a book with Palfrey, is the one who identified the phone number with Vitter. He should be able to identify other callers.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
duff man says... OH YEAH

______________________________________________ Didn't Moldea post on FR years ago? I vaguely recollect that he put one female poster literally to tears (and fear) when he did some background research and posted to her on the forum; it might have been Hillary's Lovely Legs but I could be wrong on that.
Yes, he did. I forget what it was about.

Don't forget Dan Moldea....the personal pooper-scooper of a famous pornographer. Or at least it is someone who uses Dan's name as a screen name and has an unnatural desire for people to think he is the same infamous bottomfeeder. 172 Posted on 01/02/2001 19:32:59 PST by piasa I found the above on this thread, but "no one by that name" appeared when I searched the FR member directory.
