To those who question whether Wendy Cortez (aka Wendy Ellis) came forward with revelations about her four-month relationship with Sen. David Vitter only to profit financially, Larry Flynt again says, “no way.” On Dan Abrams’ MSNBC program tonight Flynt explained that Cortez came to him before he ever offered her any money to pose in Hustler. Only later, after he determined he liked the looks of her body, was that plan hatched.

Earlier today Big Head DC revealed that Cortez is scheduled to appear in the smut mag in January — and that Flynt is helping her to secure a book deal.
