Republican Henchman Peddles Smut

Things that make you go hmmm... or some other reaction I can't convey.

If Dick Cheney's right hand man Scooter Libby
is convicted of lying to federal investigators,
it's nice to know he's got a literary career
to fall back on.

In 1996 Scooter wrote a novel, The Apprentice.
Set in a remote Japanese province in 1903, the
book tells the tale of Setsuo, a virgin
innkeeper. And just as you'd expect from a
right-wing conservative... it's full of
weirdo sex scenes and swearing. Young girls
get raped by bears, or shagged by their uncles,
and people have sex with deer.

Here's a taster:
"At age ten the madam put the child in a
cage with a bear trained to couple with young
girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall
in love with their patrons. They fed her through
the bars and aroused the bear with a stick
when it seemed to lose interest."

why does he choose to call himself scooter if his real name is lewis? it makes him sound even stupider than he really is.

Stupider than he really is, if the shoe fits. Getting a little head from the intern is so mainstream degenerate... this is wacky.

Wow! What a tidbit.

Isn't the right-wing dirty novel kind of a tradition? I thought Newt Gingrich wrote one too. Or Trent Lott, or somebody like that. I bet they all did. (This one sounds particularly insane.)

Yes, that's mentioned in the article. The excerpts are hiiiilarious. Particularly Safire's

Holy cattle ranch!
