It's a bailout plan as only the San Fernando Valley could bring you.

Hustler Magazine's Larry Flynt and Girls Gone Wild chief Joe Francis announced Wednesday their joint written request to Congress for a $5 billion federal bailout.

After reading this article in the Daily Breeze, I was almost floored with laughter- both at the quotes (special thanks to my friend Jamie for pointing them out as well as the article itself), and the audacity of the request.

As many of you know, I have been a staunch opponent of the Federal government opening up Pandora's bailout box, but maybe this deserves special consideration.

After all, Francis puts it so eloquently when he says the government needs to put up taxpayer money "just to see us through hard times."

Pun intended?
