(Newser) – Porn king Larry Flynt is turning to a slightly more academic topic: presidents. Well, the sex lives of presidents, to be exact. The Hustler publisher is writing One Nation Under Sex, an “academically sourced” history of White House seductions. Gawker got a look at the proposal, and it includes important historical info like “George Washington was a famous swordsman in more ways than one” and “How did this president from Pennsylvania become so proslavery? In two words: Gay Love.”

To read the entire 54-page document—Gawker writer John Cook notes that it’s mostly “a breezy overview of old rumors” like Abraham Lincoln and James Buchanan were gay, Eleanor Roosevelt had lesbian lovers, and Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis blackmailed Woodrow Wilson over a mistress—click here.

I applaud it. And I hope all sexcapades by current politicians get outed - preferably while they're in offfice. I don't have to read it, but I sure don't want it covered up. So ANYONE outing these sleazeballs (because they pretend to be "leaders") gets my vote. Now if this was about the sexcapades of ordinary citizens? Not interested. It's the OUTING OF LIARS that is the crusade.

Really, who cares? Clinton and JFK were players. On the flip side, you had the Bush's who were probably not colorful at all. Yawn
