No, but I sure as hell wouldn’t want to have dinner with the guy! From all accounts he’s a bit of an asshole in real life anyway, so I don’t think I’d miss much.
And gaspacho? Check my location field, idiot.
This is a whoosh, right?
Shhhh. **rjung **doesn’t know about reality-- he operates exclusively in the realm of fiction.
Nah, they think that every act of sex should be open to the possibility of procreation. So a married couple can have all the sex they want as long as they don’t use birth control, other than having sex when no ovum is present.
PROFIT! :eek:
The pricing typo doesn’t scare me nearly so much as the average customer rating. 3.5 stars? Who’s reading this stuff?
This is such a non sequitor that I really hope I’m being wooshed.

Even scarier that it don’t appear to be a typo!
Note to self; write bad book, then get indicted, indictment = book sales!
That’s not a typo, it’s what the cheapest copy is going for. The priciest has an inscription from Scooter himself and goes for $2400. :eek:
I suspect it goes like this:
you post something about not caring about a work of fiction.
Squink makes the connection “work of fiction” is same as “what turned out to be work of fiction leading us to war w/Iraq”.
then, you don’t get it.
I could be wrong about the diagram.
That’s unreal. I guess a first edition is a first edition, no matter what the content.
Remind me, Breakdancing Duck. Was Bret Easton Ellis ever Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States? Did his party platform speak loudly of morality in regards to sexuality? Just wondering.
That makes sense, although I still think Squink’s comment was very stupid.
Well, to be fair, the back cover (which you can view on the Amazon website) has a pretty complimentary blurb from the New York Times Book Review. It says:
It seems that, at the very least, the literary quality of Libby’s work is open to reasonable debate and interpretation, and that this is not a book that one should merely dismiss out of hand, especially without reading the whole thing.
It’s not a question of whether the book is, in and of itself, a violent or sxually explicit work. It’s a question of moral consistency.
If Brett Easton Ellis had written American Psycho and then accepted a position as the VP’s Chief of Staff in a political party that was constantly criticizing the morally depravity of violent and sexually explicit pop culture, then i’d be interested in that too.
Actually, the problem is the apparent hypocrisy of the so-called “Party of Family Values” employing, in a prominent, important position, someone who write ultra-violent rape porn. If the Republicans hadn’t taken high visibility stances against everything from video games to gay sex to Hollywood movies not starring Arnold Schwartzenegger or Bruce Willis, this whole thing would be a non-issue. It’s not the depravity of the novelist that’s at stake, it’s the shamelessly two-faced nature of his masters. The book itself is small potatoes.
Is it possible that you have confused “bleating and screaming” with rolling about on the floor and clutching our sides, while peals of helpless laughter tumble?
But come: let us celebrate Republican eroticism! (The appropriate forum would be Cafe Soc, yes?) We have some of the most celebrated Googlemeisters in virtual space, lets ferret out these scenes and share them in a spirit of healthy and vigorous erotic fervor!
(Personally, my tastes are somewhat narrow, and that’s nobody’s problem but mine. Nonetheless, I’d prefer not to start with Jeff Gannon, if that’s OK with everybody else. Newt Gangrene’s 1945 has some “sex kitten” scenes in it, IIRC that could easily be used to reinforce celibacy!)
Let the good clean fun begin!
Sure, because people with power never try to turn their fantasies into realities, do they? Everyone agreed that turning Iraq into a shining beacon of democracy was a reality based proposition.
Some brave scholar could even do a “compare and contrast” piece on the fantasies of important people in Cheney’s life. Remember Lynne Cheney’s novel “Sisters” from a few years ago?
You lust for Ann Coulter is unseemly. How about spreading that 'luci love around more-- can I interest you in Bay Buchanan? :eek:
Scooter can write whatever he wants to write.
I can draw any conclusions I’d like based on whatever he wants to write.
Nope, don’t see any hypocrisy there.
Though I have to say, if conservatives are going to keep writing amateur porn, could they at least get some writing lessons so it won’t reek so much?
But “Babs” Bush is right out! :eek:
Ew. Ew. Ew. A description of oral sex and Bill O’Reilly should never, ever be involved in the same discussion. Must now scrub brain with bleach.
