Hustler publisher Larry Flynt took a fresh jab on Tuesday at scandal-plagued Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), administering a lie detector test to a New Orleans prostitute who contends that she and Vitter had a relationship in 1999. Vitter has denied extramarital relations with Wendy Cortez, who appeared with Flynt in Los Angeles to address reporters. Flynt said the lie detector offers 99.9 percent proof that Cortez, whose ties to Vitter have long set tongues wagging in Louisiana, is telling the truth. “I don’t want him to apologize to me. I want him to apologize to everybody that he’s lied to,” Cortez said. She referred to Vitter’s wife, also named Wendy, who famously said she would emulate scorned wife Lorena Bobbitt if Vitter were ever unfaithful. Flynt said his investigators continue to scrutinize the records of the so-called “D.C. Madam” for leads on congressional sex scandals, promising more revelations to come. Two national news anchors have turned up on the Madam’s phone list, Flynt said, but he would not reveal their names because “they’re not casting a vote.” |
