Hustler Will Pay $1 Million For Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns

That irrepressible scamp Larry Flynt is at it again and this time his target is Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Peter Smith, a 20-year-old student at the University of Colorado, could face 6 months in prison for attempting to throw a glitter “missile” at presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Mr. Smith, who told Reuters he was protesting Romney’s “general political philosophy” as much as the candidate’s position on gay marriage, has been charged with several misdemeanors.

In Arkansas, Giuliani Talks 2012, 9/11
