Flynt gets behind Dennis Kucinich November 19, 1:17 AM La-La Land

While porn mogul Larry Flynt says he's still about to blow the lid off a couple of more sex scandals involving Republicans, he's lining up behind his horse in the Democratic field.

Flynt was one of the co-hosts of a fundraiser for liberal candidate Dennis Kucinich at the headquarters of his company, Hustler-LFP, in Los Angeles.

Flynt, an Ohio native like Kucinich, told the adult-industry Web site Xbiz.com, "I support Dennis Kucinich because not only have I been a friend of his for 40 years, but I believe he offers an essential, viable and exciting option to the candidates that are more popular at the moment."

According to Xbiz.com, other hosts included Woody Harrelson, who played Flynt on the silver screen, Ed Norton, Sean and Robin Wright Penn, Frances Fisher, Stephen Stills and Melissa Etheridge.

A Kucinich spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
