New Cheesy Clips From Flynt's Paylin Outrage—With Guest Stars "Hillary" and "Condi"
Forget Joe the plumber. Here comes Larry the pornographer.
Today, the Daily Beast cinematheque presents two previously unreleased scenes from Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?, Larry Flynt's filmic treatment of the Alaska governor. Porn star Lisa Ann plays the governor. The clip has been censored and there's no full nudity. But there is still some of naughty stuff, including shots of "the governor" canoodling with "Hillary" and "Condi", so the clip is NOT APPROPRIATE for young eyes.

The second clip features the governor getting frisky with one of Todd's snowmobile buddies.
Several other scenes from the movie have surfaced in the last week, including a raunchy trailer on Hustler’s site.
It’s not the first time Larry Flynt has co-mingled with politicians, of course. Flynt won a 1988 Supreme Court decision against Jerry Falwell. In 1998, at the height of the impeachment Sturm und Drang, Flynt pledged to pay any women $1 million if she could prove she had an affair with a high-ranking politician. The yield: he forced the resignation of House Speaker-elect Bob Livingston with news of an extramarital affair, and accused Rep. Bob Barr of paying for his ex-wife’s abortion. Nearly a decade later, Flynt’s investigators unearthed Sen. David Vitter’s calls to a Washington, D.C., madam. The porn king’s stated m.o.—beyond selling magazines and maintaining his spot in the gossip pages—is to hit at “hypocrites” whose moral values may not match their rhetoric.
Having found no such hypocrisies in Sarah Palin’s past, Flynt decided to invent some. The film doesn’t advance the debate over health care, and most certainly does not offer what Barack Obama would call “hope,” but it does go farther than Tina Fey ever dared.

I am a 51 year old woman, Republican-registered for 33 years... wanted to get that out there right off the bat. That said, however, I am most certainly NOT voting for McCain/Palin this election for a myriad of reasons, most of which center around Palin. This sort of thing, though, in unconscionable! That there is not a major outcry by American women, and men, against this garbage aimed at a woman of influence stuns me. Personally, I do not like Ms. Palin and look forward with great expectation to her probable imminent return to Alaska. Disliking Ms. Palin and her politics, however, does NOT give leave to anyone to treat her persona in such an appalling and disrespectful manner. This is trash and, as such, should be consigned to the trash bin.
This is not an argument against adult movies; it's about respect. Liking a person is NOT a component of treating one with simple, common respect. Had he aimed his vulgar sights at Michelle Obama or Cindy McCain, the hue and cry would have been nigh on deafening. Have I simply missed the censure? I hope that's all it is. To think that we have sunk to such a low estate in this country as to dismiss this level of disrespect for ones person is a place I dont want to be.

I would like to reinforce what KatyaBG wrote and express my deep disgust for this humiliating portrayal of women. And this comes from someone who dislikes Palin a LOT and is also looking forward to seeing her back in Alaska.
Just one more thing to reflect on: human dignity. In this case the humiliation threshold has been surpassed.

Acting was great. Wanted to see more, of course.
Meanwhile, am waiting expectantly for the Michelle Obama nudie sendup. When will that be online?
thanks much,
your big fan,

Agreed with katya. Take it down. Now.

To be honest, Katya, I think she invited this sort of thing by flirting with foreign heads of state. I mean, the president of Pakistan came very close to feeling her up. As an empty-headed beauty queen and television talking head, I'm sure she's used to being objectified. I'm not saying I agree with it or approve of it, but I don't think the fact that this movie has been made will shock Sarah Palin. The content might, but not its simple existence.
As to the question of porn films featuring Michelle and Cindy look-alikes, I just don't think anything about their personalities or their demeanors lends itself to this kind of parody. Not that they're not attractive. They just don't carry themselves or present themselves in a way that makes them vulnerable to "the porn treatment."
I'd just like to say that I expected better from someone who's been in the business as long as Larry Flynt. At the very least, he could have found someone who looked a little more like her and could pull off the accent.

My first response to this piece was to think "Well, that isn't helpful and soesn't add anything to the discourse." But ugliness is ugliness no matter who it is aimed at. I am not a fan of Sarah Palin, but she does not deserve this type of ridicule. It is despicable and inflammatory and verges on evil.

So sad and bad.

Hahahahaha. As for the two women kissing not being appropriate for young children -- does that mean that the young children of gay women who see their mothers kissing are seeing something they shouldn't? If that had been a scene of a man and a woman "canoodling" you wouldn't have been concerned about children viewing it would you?

Wow. Larry is kind of losing his touch. I'm all for parody. I mean, isn't the highest form of flattery is imitation. But the Paylin character only resembles Palin because she has glasses and dark hair. Condy is nothing like the real thing. About the only thing that does resemble anyone is Nina for Cindy. They've both had a little too much surgery. (Come on girls, you can blink your eyes if you just try really hard.)
In the end, I'll probably watch it because I have problems, but I don't think this is anything like the real thing. People need to hvae a sense of humor.

This certainly is degrading to all women, yet still no reason to pity and/or defend a mad-lib VP such as Sarah Palin. She is clearly a feeble publicity stunt. Her "executive experience" is comical at best.
I urge you all to please wake up and realize that we have a one party system here in the US. Dominated by corporate interests and misinformation.
The only legitimate political candidate we have had since JFK was Dr. Ron Paul, and he obviously was belittled.
I recommend a great new documentary called Zeitgeist Addendum (Google: Video), to get anyone started on reconciling the reality of "reality".

I respectfully disagree with Katya. Mr. Flynt DOES have leave to express his political opinion in whatever way he wishes, however vulgar his medium might be. The First Amendment does not compel us to respect one another. In fact, I find Ms. Palin's various slanders of Barack Obama just as offensive as this film.
While I am disappointed to see a female vice presidential candidate given this treatment, I don't blame Larry Flynt so much as I blame John McCain. He is the one who exposed Sarah Palin to ridicule by selecting her as his running mate, despite her ignorance, her extreme views, and her scant qualifications.

DB was a new, bright and exciting publication 'til now. I'm chagrined I felt enthusiasm for your pub but trash trashes you.

go to tmz.com and read the cript. it may be porn but it is also good satire.especially faux news and mr bil orally

Talk about some people's extreme fear of electing a black man for President, this obscene resistance to having a woman in power goes unmatched. I don't like anything about Sarah Palin or what she is representing, but this goes way beyond anything to do with her.
Poor Larry steams in a stew of such vitriole and contempt himself, it's likely he can't get it up to save himself and has to find pseudo power in these kinds of attacks.

I love Larry Flynt!!! It's not that I always like the things he does, as far as these clips go, I agree with Jeep. But Larry is always pushing the envelope of free speech and always willing to put his butt on the line. Never afraid of the hate and criticism he obviously will attract, the man is a freedom genius!
Is that Nina Hartley as Hillary? As much as the Palin character sucks (Of course, we are all spoiled by the incredible talent of Tina Fey. Who could ever play Sarah as well? No one.), I'm tempted to seek out this video because I'll bet Nina plays Hillary brilliantly!! Haha!!!
Thank you.
