Larry Flynt remembers his good friend, Jerry Falwell. This is the only pro-Falwell memorial piece I've seen that was written by someone who knew the man and didn't have a politicial and financial incentive to prop up his reputation.
I don't find it so incredible that those two guys were pals. They had a lot in common…two chubby guys who learned you could make a helluva lot of money exploiting the more tasteless corners of the First Amendment.
