Michael Che broke down this forgotten Roger Stone story for us on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, January 26, 2019... alleging (around 4:32) that Stone looked like someone who "pays Black guys to bang his wife"... and that he googled Stone and found he HAD been fired by the Dole campaign after a tabloid article appeared stating Stone had placed swinger ads seeking interested parties...
"Stone served as a senior consultant to Bob Dole’s 1996 campaign for President, but that assignment ended in a characteristic conflagration. The National Enquirer, in a story headlined “Top Dole Aide Caught in Group-Sex Ring,” reported that the Stones had apparently run personal ads in a magazine called Local Swing Fever and on a Web site that had been set up with Nydia’s credit card.
“Hot, insatiable lady and her handsome body builder husband, experienced swingers, seek similar couples or exceptional muscular... single men,” the ad on the Web site stated.
The ads sought athletes and military men, while discouraging overweight candidates, and included photographs of the Stones.
At the time, Stone claimed that he had been set up by a “very sick individual,” but he was forced to resign from Dole’s campaign. Stone acknowledged to me that the ads were authentic. “When that whole thing hit the fan in 1996, the reason I gave a blanket denial was that my grandparents were still alive,” he said. “I’m not guilty of hypocrisy. I’m a libertarian and a libertine.”

Stone: Going for the Swing Vote?
Roger Stone -- the former Republican political operative turned Bob Dole volunteer and PR consultant -- was doing some heavy damage control for himself yesterday.
In a two-page release, Stone, 44, said an unnamed "sick, disgruntled" person has been placing steamy mate-swapping ads and suggestive photos of him and his wife, Nydia Bertran Stone, 48, in swingers' magazines and on the Internet for several years.
"Military, bodybuilders and jocks" seeking fun with a "40DD-24-36" woman and a "trim, blond, muscular" man were directed to Stone's e-mail address or Northwest Washington post office box, according to stories running in next Monday's National Enquirer and Star tabloids. The New York Post ran a version yesterday.
The stories feature an ad from the September issue of Swing Fever magazine showing Nydia in a black negligee and Roger bare-chested. He said her photo was a 1986 professional model shot (she's now a photographer and occasional model) and his was taken for a 1993 bodybuilding contest.
Stone is a well-known D.C. dandy, favoring expensive suits and festive accessories. By his own estimate, he also spent two years and nearly $8,000 on hair transplants.
He said yesterday that the kinky-sex allegations stem from "an acrimonious divorce" five years ago. Stone's ex-wife, Ann, with whom he remains friendly, said she is not the culprit. Nydia's ex-husband could not be reached.
