Larry Flynt Endorses Mark Sanford, 'America's Great Sex Pioneer'
Source: Huffington Post
With one week to go before South Carolinians choose their pick for the 1st District seat in Congress, Hustler magazine publisher and founder Larry Flynt made his selection.
In a video posted on Hustler's official YouTube account Tuesday, Flynt endorsed former Gov. Mark Sanford (R), lauding his efforts to expose the U.S.' "sexual hypocrisy."
Mark Sanford has demonstrated by his words and deeds that traditional values are shameful and that he will not live by such rules," Flynt said. "His open embrace of his mistress in the name of love, breaking his sacred marriage vows, was an act of bravery that has drawn my support.
Flynt's words come hours after Sanford completed his debate against Democratic challenger Elizabeth Colbert Busch. The fireworks were centered on Sanford's affair, where Colbert Busch jabbed him for taking "money we saved" and leaving "the country for a personal purpose." Sanford claimed he "didn't hear" the comment.

HUSTLER founder and publisher Larry Flynt announces his endorsement of Republican candidate Mark Sanford for US Congress. Sanford, who gained national prominence in 2009 as governor of South Carolina when he abruptly abandoned his duties for a secret rendezvous with his mistress, is running against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch (sister of Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert) for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District seat.

This is one of the most beautiful back handed compliments I have ever seen for anyone, and the fact that it's going to Sanford makes it all perfect.
