Hustler publisher Larry Flynt is teaming up with Columbia University’s David Eisenback to write about book about presidential hanky-panky. “One Nation Under Sex: How the Private Lives of Presidents and First Ladies Shaped America,” is due out in 2011 from Palgrave books. “It’s not just a book about who slept with whom,” says Flynt’s agent, Andrew Stuart. “It’s a much larger and sweeping account of how the sex lives of American presidents have had a tangible effect on American policy and history.”

Can you still call it swiftboating if you’re talking about a book?
