Porn moghul offers $1 million for dirt
US: Larry Flynt placed a full page ad in the Washington Post on Sunday claiming he would offer up to $1 million to anyone who can dish up dirt on American government officials.
This is not the first time that the Hustler publisher has sought scandalous tidbits on politicians, reports Herald Sun.
About 14 years ago, Flynt had placed a similar ad in The Post, when the scandal involving then US President Bill Clinton and his intern Monica Lewinsky had broken out.
The ad reads as... "Do you have information about infidelity, sexual impropriety or corruption concerning a current United States senator, congressperson or prominent government official?" the ad asks. "Can you provide documented evidence of your claims? Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine will pay you up to $1 million if we choose to use your material and publish your verified story."
