Aside from one magazine's love of racist, misogynistic, pedophile-loving comics, and the others need to distance itself from pornography as it desperately tries to become more and more pornographic (something that really shouldn't be that hard when you think of it) there's a new answer to this age old riddle; presidential hopeful Hilary Clinton will take money from one (Playboy) but not the other (the Other).

Yesterday Newsday.com had article detailing some of Hilary Clinton's celebrity contributors during the first quarter of her fundraising efforts. The article points out that Clinton accepted a donation from Hugh Hefner ($2,300), where two years before she had rejected a donation from Larry Flynt ($1,000). Her spokespeople wouldn't comment on the reason for the decision, but Flynt was quoted in an AVN article:

"She has every right to denounce me, and to denounce pornography – but she can still take my money. And if she can't take my money, she's lost something much more important – my vote."

If the last time Clinton picked up a copy of Playboy was 1972 I can understand the distinction she's making. But these days as Playboy intentionally morphs into Maxim, and increases its presence in adult DVD content, it's getting harder and harder to see it in a fundamentally different category from Hustler.
