Every Member Of Congress Gets Hustler

For 30 years, Larry Flynt has made sure that every member of Congress was mailed a monthly copy of Hustler. And there is nothing legally they can do to stop it.

The U.S. Postal Service tried to stop the mailings after complaints in the 80s, but the U.S. District Court in D.C. ruled that members of Congress are not forced to read the magazine, and it’s only sent once a month; therefore it is not that big of a burden on members of Congress that requires any sort of legal action.

Some congressional staffers looking for a laugh told National Journal anonymously what they like doing with the magazines. One of them said, “For a while, the interns, after their initial shock and befuddlement, were directed to save the Hustlers. We eventually gave a coworker the whole year’s supply for Secret Santa and then she would mail them to her boyfriend in Iraq. Certainly one of the least-heralded ways the office supported our troops.”
