"Don't Get the Wrong Idea. I Only Read Hustler for Its Almost Gynecological Close-Ups of Sopping Vaginas"*

The porn magazine arrives every month at your congressman's office.

Tucked in a conservative-looking manila envelope, the latest Law edition of Hustler goes to all 535 members of Congress. Free of charge.

Not that most members want it. It usually gets thrown in the circular file marked “trash.”

But like clockwork, it keeps coming, despite efforts to have it stop.

The spokesman for Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, recently tried to halt the mailing. Nope.

Several members of Congress have sued to make it stop, only to lose. Something about the public being able to seek redress from Congress means they have to take it, apparently. . . .

Interns for Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, are trained to distinguish the nudie magazine's envelope from the other mail and throw it away, says Chief of Staff Scott Parker.

So every time we happen to get one, it ends up in the trash pretty instantly,” Parker says
.


"And almost as quickly -- like that -- it's out of there, taken away before the janitorial staff can sully their hands with it" Parker didn't say. "It's the damnedest thing. Since no one on our staff would read such filth, we're left with one conclusion: porn gnomes."
