Hustler publisher Larry Flynt offers $1 million to uncove'Hustler' magazine magnate Larry Flynt is looking to catch GOP presidential hopeful Rick Perry with his pants down.The controversial publisher offered up to $1 million to anyone who can prove they had a "illicit sexual or intimate relations" with the Texas governor, Reuters reported.
He published full-page ads in The Onion and Austin Chronicle looking for racy stories and pictures with the married Perry, who is currently the GOP frontrunner.
"Can you provide documented evidence of illicit sexual or intimate relations with the governor?" the ads read. "Larry Flynt and Hustler magazine will pay you up to $1 million if we choose to publish your verified story and use your material."
Flynt has pulled similar stunts before with politicians he dislikes.
"I've been doing this for 35 years," Flynt told Reuters. "We've found running these ads were very successful in finding sources to come forward."
In 1999, he claimed to uncover evidence of then-incoming House speaker Robert Livington's extramarital affair.
A spokesperson for Perry told the Houston Chronicle that they would decline to "weigh in on this garbage."
Flynt said his office has heard considerable rumors about the Texas governor's sex life - but didn't elaborate.
"You never know what's going to break," he told the Chronicle. "You never know which way it's going to break. But the thing about is, they usually all have something to hide."
Flynt also offered a similar bounty during the Monica Lewinsky scandal to anyone who could find evidence of affairs of House Republicans who were seeking to impeach then-President Bill Clinton.
