Subject: RE: BS: Politics, GWB and morning radio
The radio station in question was KROQ, 106.7 FM in the Los Angeles area.

I'm assuming it was actually him - it was an unplanned call (as far as the DJs were concerned), and within the bounds of what has happened in past shows. Gore called in back earlier this year. They've had several politicos of varying stripes call in (party figures of various status). For that much, I'll believe that it was Mr. Flynt. As to WHY he chose to call to put forth the allegation, I can only assume it's due to the demographic of the station's audience (18-30) and the presence of the convention in town.

Flynt claimed he was letting KROQ in on the news first, but would be contacting other news sources as the morning wore on. As this is still just allegation, I'm hoping that if it does get reported, it is stated as such.

My view? Not really changed. I'd been planning on voting Gore, but the more I read of his VP's views, the more I'm drifting to either 3rd party or just not voting on the presidential race at all (just think if THAT happened en masse... "The voter turnout appears to be in the %48 percent range, yet the candidates only amassed %5 of the vote between them..."). The latest allegations only confirm humanity to me... beliefs are most often for those not tested by them. Situational Morality rules.
