Republican sex freaks

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

What would the corporate media say if a powerful Democrat wrote a novel about children having sex with animals? Thanks to that party's incompetence there aren't any powerful Dems these days, but we can imagine the outcry. Fox News would have a week long expose on Democratic depravity. Potentate pundits would lament the Democrats inability to connect with Christians in the heartland.

Lewis Libby was until recently a very powerful Republican. He was Vice President Cheney's chief of staff until he was indicted for obstructing justice and lying to a grand jury. He also fantasizes about little girls and bears.

In his novel, The Apprentice, Libby imagined a caged bear having sex with children.

"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."

Libby is obviously a freak. Only a freak would be able to imagine girls and bears and then put pen to paper and write about it. Libby is clearly a sick, depraved man who shouldn't be trusted around children, or bears either for that matter. It isn't surprising that people who fantasizes about a combination of bestiality and pedophilia are also intent on waging an endless war on the rest of the planet and another war on the dispossessed here at home.

You're defending a high-ranking WH official who writes smutty books about bestiality with children?

Unbelievable.

Dirty Libby

I don’t normally associate bestiality with Republicans, but in Scooter Libby’s case, one has to make an exception. Consider this excerpt from Libby’s 1996 novel, The Apprentice, which chronicles the depraved training of a Japanese prostitute:

The young samurai’s mother had the child sold to a brothel, where she swept the floors and oiled the men and watched the secret ways. 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. Groups of men paid to watch. Like other girls who have been trained this way, she learned to handle many men in a single night and her skin turned a milky-white.

This is a curious passage, and not just because of the less-than-obvious connection between milky-white skin and sex with a bear. It’s strange because the author is a conservative Republican, a member (well, until recently) of an administration which considers sex—even sex between two humans—a bad, bad thing. John Ashcroft, for example, clothed a statue’s bare breast; the FCC tried to cover up Janet Jackson’s; and two months ago, the FBI launched an anti-obscenity squad. (Would Scooter Libby’s book fit the bill?) So the fact that Dick Cheney’s closest confidante scripted a work featuring bestiality, rape and general licentiousness would seem to constitute hypocrisy in the GOP’s war against immorality—lashing out against others’ smut and sin while profiting off them yourself.

But then, it’s hardly the only such example. Here are a few more.

*
Despite years of speaking out against gambling, Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, recently admitted that he had taken more than $1 million in fees from lobbyists representing Indian casinos.

*
Back in his days as a Texas state legislator, Tom DeLay earned the nickname “Hot Tub Tom,” for his talents at water sports.

*
Conservative White House “reporter” Jeff Gannon turned out to be a former gay hooker.

*
Rupert Murdoch, the owner of conservative Fox News and the New York Post , is also part-owner of DirecTV, which makes millions distributing pornography.

*
Illinois GOP candidate Jack Ryan dropped out of a race for U.S. Senate after disclosures that he had pressured his former wife, the actress Jeri Ryan, to go to sex clubs with him.

*
Newt Gingrich cheated on two wives. His short-lived successor as House speaker, Louisiana congressman Bob Livingston, stepped down from the post after admitting to his own marital infidelities.

*
Lynne Cheney is the author of Sisters, a 1981 potboiler described by USA Today as including “brothels, attempted rapes, and a lesbian love affair.” Earlier this year, plans by publisher New American Library to reprint the book were abandoned after Cheney protested; her agent explained that “she did not think the book was her best work.” With lines like “And then we shall go to bed, our bed, my dearest girl,” let us hope he was telling the truth.

*
GOP consultant Roger Stone allegedly advertised himself and his wife in a magazine for swingers. (Stone claimed that he had been framed.)

The list could go on (Strom Thurmond, anyone?), but as fun and titillating as that would be, there is a larger point here. The GOP bills itself as the party of family values, and in a hundred different ways imposes its moralistic judgments about sex and reproduction on the American people. It tries to amend the Constitution to ban gay marriage; it subverts the FDA’s science to ban the morning-after pill; it attaches anti-birth control restrictions to foreign aid. Etcetera. And all the while the party’s most powerful members live by a double-standard of personal vice and ill-gotten gain.

Of course, hypocrisy on the part of individuals doesn’t entirely negate a morality platform. But at the least, it does suggest that some of the most powerful proponents of “family values” are deeply cynical about that aspect of the Republican agenda. They feel free to impose these values on others even while making a mockery of them in their own lives.

Moreover, in this coming campaign year there’s an opportunity for Democrats here—not to excoriate Republicans for their personal failings, which is a dangerous game, but to remind Americans that government isn’t suited to the promotion of sexual morality upon its citizens. That’s really the work of community groups, churches, schools and other grassroots organizations. Instead, citizens should demand morality in government—e.g., sending the nation into war as a last resort and on the basis of sound intelligence; protecting the identities of CIA agents; promoting high-quality public broadcasting free from partisan influence; awarding federal contracts competitively with no favoritism shown for administration officials’ former companies.

Government shouldn’t dictate morality to citizens, but citizens should expect morality in government. It’s the kind of thing that Republicans used to say. That they no longer do provides an opening for Democrats to make their case.

In literary style, Libby's guilt is an open-&-smut case

http://www.nydailynews.com/10-31-2005/news/gossip/story/360722p-307363c.html

The last time I saw Scooter Libby, he was trying to persuade Maureen Dowd to join him in doing tequila shots at the celebstudded Bloomberg party after the 2003 White House Correspondents Association Dinner.

A few days later, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff sent me an inscribed copy of "The Apprentice," his 1996 novel of early 20th-century Japan. I never got past the second page.

Luckily, in the latest New Yorker, Lauren Collins summarizes the novel's sex scenes.

"The main female character, Yukiko, draws hair on the 'mound' of a little girl," Collins reports. "The brothers of a dead samurai have sex with his daughter."

Meanwhile, "certain passages can better be described as reminiscent of Penthouse Forum," Collins writes. "Other sex scenes are less conventional."

Collins quotes from the indicted aide's novel: "At age 10 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."

British Literary Review editor Nancy Sladek, who oversees a Bad Sex fiction writing contest, tells Collins: "That's a bit depraved, isn't it, this kind of thing about bears and young girls?" Never mind the passage concerning sex with a deer.

I'm not defending anything. In your typical style your hatred for the right has shut off the part your brain that actually comphrehends things. I simply said asked for the context... it takes more than a simple (and highly biased) article that contains no facts to start gleefully dogpiling a fellow human being.

What a crock of sh_t.

You can do a Google search and find countless articles about Libby's smut book.

Given the passages I already quoted, how much more "context" do you need?

The (former) chief of staff of the VP of the United States writes smut novels dealing with bestiality and forced child prostitution. That you would try to characterize objections to this behavior as nothing more than blind hatred for the right is absolutely contemptable (and exactly the sort of thing the republicans do.)

Hey LABF, as a card carrying Liberal I would think you would be applauding this so called smut. Isn't that what liberals are all for; free sex, do as you please, no boundaries? Man, you guy's just can't get it right.

I would think that you, as a card-carrying right-winger, would be trying to reconcile Scooter's perversions with your party's alleged "family values" platform and the Corrupt Old Party's (alleged) mission to "restore honor and integrity" and all that hypocritical crap.

Isn't that what liberals are all for; free sex, do as you please, no boundaries?

You're confusing liberals with anarchists.

And there's no such thing as "free sex" - even a conservative type like you should know that. :D
