New Yorker: Libby's Sex Shocker!

About those leaves (aspens) ....Repubs like sex too! What a shocker!!!

snip..
Libby has a lot to live up to as a conservative author of erotic fiction. As an article in SPY magazine pointed out in 1988, from Safire (“ finally came to him in the bed and shouted ‘Arragghrrorwr!’ in his ear, bit his neck, plunged her head

We can't have that now can we? We should burn him at the stake!!

:sarcasm:

but Gannon said "no marks"!

WHAT sex ? ...

WHY not provide at LEAST a sentence or two ? ..

Those of us on dial-up would appreciate it ...

So, how does Libby stack up against the competition? This question was put to Nancy Sladek, the editor of Britain’s Literary Review, which, each year, holds a contest for bad sex writing in fiction. (In 1998, someone nominated the Starr Report.) Sladek agreed to review a few passages from Libby. “That’s a bit depraved, isn’t it, this kind of thing about bears and young girls? That’s particularly nasty, and the other ones are just boring,” she said. “God, they’re an odd bunch, these Republicans.” Unlike their American counterparts, she said, Tories haven’t taken much to sex writing. “They usually just get caught,” she said.

(BTW, in the graphic in your last post, what was being said that caused Phyllis Schlafly to plug her ears to avoid hearing it?)

Most of the RW are. I think they choose to want to legislate for morality because they are the biggest offendors. It's no new secret.

on Roe v wade?

That which is not forbidden is compulsory.

Repubs feel guilty about all those things they are forced to do because they are not illegal. So they legislate to make them illegal, so they won't have to do them anymore.

Damn! I think I just comprehended a bit of repub logic! I wonder if it's catching.

:scared:

Where a male prostitute gets to visit the Bush-Republican White House 200 times, and then the press pretends it never happened.

Could have made his book into a best seller -- because the TRUTH really sells (if it ever sees the light of day).

anyone hear him on Fresh Air the other day talking about his new book and how someone called him and said, "please! don't write a sex scene!" he said something funny like a Washington bureaucrat-written sex scene would sound like a 4th-quarter budget -- words to that effect.

CRINGE! politicos should know better than to try and write "hot stuff." yikes.
