I don’t know about you but given how hysterical the coverage of our current economic condition has become, I was at a loss for words as to how we could effective counter the nanny-staters in a way that the public could easily rally around. It’s all about the bailout, pull it from the public coffers and put it in my pocket, but thanks to Larry Flint of all people (using the term loosely) we can rest at ease.
“The take here is that everyone and their mother want to be bailed out from the banks to the big three,” said Owen Moogan, spokesman for Larry Flynt. “The porn industry has been hurt by the downturn like everyone else and they are going to ask for the $5 billion. Is it the most serious thing in the world? Is it going to make the lives of Americans better if it happens? It is not for them to determine.”
Francis said in a statement that “the US government should actively support the adult industry’s survival and growth, just as it feels the need to support any other industry cherished by the American people.”
Surely everyone will be able to see now that the term slippery slope isn’t just a logical fallacy. How much more insane do we need to get than a smut bailout before the country understands that cranking up the printing press just isn’t the answer?
We’ll gladly let the auto companies come to Washington DC with their hand out, so long as they’re willing to use their product to get there. It begs the question: what will we require the porn industry to ride to Washington in order to get their federal bailout?
Massive linkages at Michelle Malkin and Hot Air. Good for a yuk.
