Larry Flynt's Bush Abortion Accusation: A History

On July 8, 2004, Salon's David Bowman had an interview with Larry Flynt about his new book, a memoir titled "Sex, Lies, And Politics: The Naked Truth." The following is an excerpt from that interview. --Jerry Politex, 07.08.04

David Bowman: The first thing in your book that everyone is going to jump on is your claim that young George W. Bush paid for his girlfriend's illegal abortion.

Larry Flynt: You can't stay with a story this long and not believe in it. In 2000, I got a call from a lawyer in Houston. He told me that his client, "Susan," could prove that George W. Bush arranged for his girlfriend to have an abortion back in the early 1970s. Her boyfriend at the time, "Clyde," was pals with Bush and set up the procedure. We checked up and found that indeed "Clyde" was responsible for keeping Bush out of trouble. Bush had knocked up a girl named "Rayette." We talked to the doctor that performed the abortion. We felt we really had a blockbuster story, but about two months before we were going to break the story, "Susan" disappeared. We finally found her. She was living in a half-million-dollar home in Corpus Christi, Texas. Before that she was living in a small apartment working for $13,000 a year as a cocktail waitress. I'm not saying Bush bought her off, but I'm confident that one or more of his cronies did. The only thing that interested me in this story is -- I'm pro-choice, but to have a guy who is running on a pro-life platform ... and this procedure was committed in 1971, two years before Roe vs. Wade, which would have made it a crime.

We’ve all heard bits and pieces and hushed information about . . .the election in Florida . . . Dick Cheney's 'just us pals' energy commission....tax breaks for the wealthy . . . the deficits.....how Bush sidetracked the fight against Al Qaeda for a
grudge match against Iraq . . . how he lied about weapons of mass destruction how he lied about the true costs of all of the above.....about going AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard how Bush genuinely believes he is somehow an instrument of God's will....

With Sex, Lies & Politics: The Naked Truth, Larry Flynt makes sense of what we’ve heard in scattered bits and pieces. He delivers the inside scoop on the unsettling, hidden details that few people know, and shows readers why he is privy to certain information others will never get.

In his book, Larry Flynt sets out to prove that our current administration is not just politics as usual. This is something so extreme that we need to lean out our windows and start screaming "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Next to his disdain for hypocrisy is Flynt’s disdain for apathy, and with Sex, Lies & Politics, he hopes to wake Americans up!

Flynt details how this regime is fundamentally and constitutionally corrupt, a "front organization" for the most reactionary forces in corporate America, in cahoots with radical fundamentalists obsessed with controlling every aspect of American life. He shows how the wealthy of this country have declared war on anyone making less than $200,000 a year, and how they've used religion to get millions of ordinary Americans to sign on, against their own self-interest.

Flynt provides an incisive review of recent history to show how this unsettling state of affairs is the direct result of a thirty-year battle over American hearts and minds. Flynt shows how today's perversion of democracy began with Spiro T. Agnew, was nourished with massive infusions of right wing money in the Seventies, flowered under Reagan in the Eighties, and became militantly subversive under Newt Gingrich in the Clinton Nineties. Flynt makes it clear why we can't understand the Florida election of 2000 without knowing about the "October Surprise" that helped Reagan win in 1980. We can't make sense of George W. Bush’s character unless we understand the character of his family, and the nature of his relationship with his father. In order for us to understand his actions in Iraq, and inaction against the House of Bin Laden, we need to know his own family's long business dealings in the Middle East.

1. why in the world would homosexuals want anything

to do with Coulter? Maybe he just meant "hag."

[Syrinx]

2. Coulter is friends with Matt Drudge

3. Too bad Flynt's history

will probably discredit him in the corporate fascist media. As if these stories that we've all heard would be reported, anyway.

4. It is amazing the media silence about his book! - almost a "conspiracy"!?!

7. Exactly what I was thinking

in seriousness -- even if everything in the book is bogus, it is at least as noteworthy as Nick and Jessica, the exploits of Michael Jackson, what Scott Peterson watched on TV on the morning of Lacy Peterson's disappearance, or Nicole Ritchie's partying status -- all of which (you know it, I know it) we hear in regular rotation on the "news" (infotainment) channels.

I was thinking, as it said on the CNN web site -- why would Flynt publish this if he could get sued. Public figures have been awarded libel suits, particularly over "sentimental" causes. Maybe Flynt just decided to lay down the first bet. If Bush sues him, and he has evidence -- what could be more vindicating than a judge and jury insisting that Flynt has enough proof?

Why IS the media entirely silent about his book? It has all the makings of a sensational story (right up their alley) -- particularly parallel with F911.

Who are they protecting?

Tell you what, though, I've known for about ten years that something is seriously fucked up in this country -- and I don't need Larry Flynt to tell me that.

5. Didn't the repuks claim Clinton had a rape in his closet?

And a bunch of abortions of his own to hide?

[papau]

8. All disproved! - indeed even the black child by a whore did not pass DNA

testing.

They really had a problem giving their stories too many facts that could be checked!

Meanwhile the Reagan Rape of Seleena Walters gets verified - as in she told folks immediately the same story she told 40 years later - and gets into a book by Kitty Kelly and into an interview in People Mag - and the media kills it as we name an airport, office building, and a ship after Reagan

6. I had been waiting for Flynt's book for several months

I heard he had several witnesses with sworn affidavits claiming that Bush had helped his girlfriend cross state lines to get an aborting back in the early 70s - when it was still illegal.

I am surprised this book is already out and I hadn't gotten wind of its release!

I realize many people think there's something wrong with Larry Flynt because he's a pornographer - but it's a just a job. And Mr. Flynt has broken some very important, corroborated stories in the past.

These days, with our "respectable" media (CNN, NYT, WaPo) so lazy and corrupt, you occasionally can find some real "gems" if you go digging among the less respectable publications. (I still wonder if the reporter who was anthraxed at that Florida tabloid may have been sitting on some embarassing photos of Bush. I've heard the reporter may have had some info about links between Bush and his gay buddy / ex-roommate the Knoxville TN Mayor / former Bonesman Victor Ashe.)

The new book covers the years since 1998. Flynt said he was tired of seeing only "Clinton-bashing" on TV every night; he believes that President Clinton made significant achievements.

Through a million-dollar advertisement in The Washington Post, Flynt began collecting information from anyone who could provide substantiated evidence on government officials who had "committed (sexual) indiscretions." His objective, he said, was to "expose (the Republicans') hypocrisy" for attacking Clinton's sex life while hiding their own flaws.

"Whenever a public figure says one thing and does another," Flynt says in his book, "it is a public service to bring that hypocrisy to light."

He says he believes the right to privacy is earned through respecting others' rights. Clinton's opponents, Flynt writes, were not playing by the rules.
