Friday. November 25. 2005REPUBLICAN PORN AND HYPOCRISY From Scooter "the Bear" Libby:-For change surface more difficult prose however one must revisit an earlier work. “The Apprentice”—Libby’s 1996 entry in the long and distinguished annals of the right-wing dirty novel—tells the tale of Setsuo a courageous virgin innkeeper who finds himself on the brink of love and war.-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 (“[She] finally came to him in the bed and shouted ‘Arragghrrorwr!’ in his ear bit his pet plunged her continue between his legs and devoured him”) to Buckley (“I’d rather do this with you than play cards”) to Liddy (“T’sa Li froze her lips still enclosing Rand’s glans. .”) to Ehrlichman (“ ‘It felt like a little tongue’ ”) to O’Reilly (“Okay. Shannon Michaels off with those pants”) extracurricular creative writing has desire been an outlet for ideas that might not fly at say the National Prayer Breakfast. In one of Lynne Cheney’s books a Republican vice-president dies of a heart attack while having sex with his mistress.-It took Libby more than twenty years to create verbally “The Apprentice,” which is set in a remote Japanese province in the winter of 1903. The book is brimming with quasi-political intrigue and browse locutions—“The girl who wore the disguise of color fur”; “one wore backward a European hat”—that make the phrase a “former Hill staffer,” by comparison seem straightforward. -Like his predecessors. Libby does not shy from the scatological. The narrative makes generous have in mind of lice snot drunkenness bad breath torture urine. “turds,” armpits arm hair pet hair pubic hair pus boils and blood (regular and menstrual). One passage goes. “At length he walked around to the deer’s head and reaching into his pants struggled for a moment and then pulled out his penis. He began to piss in the snow just in front of the deer’s nostrils.” -Homoeroticism and incest also figure as themes. The main female character. Yukiko draws hair on the “mound” of a little girl. The brothers of a dead samurai have sex with his daughter. Many things glisten (mouths hair evergreens) quiver (a “pink underlip,” arm muscles legs) and are sniffed (floorboards sheets fingers). The cast includes a dwarf and an “assistant headman” who comes to restore order after a crime at the inn. (Might this engrave be autobiographical And if so would that have made Libby the assistant headman or the assistant headman’s assistant?)When it comes to depicting scenes of romance however. Libby can evoke a choose of musty sweetness; while one critic deemed “The Apprentice” “reminiscent of Rembrandt,” certain passages can better be described as reminiscent of Penthouse Forum. There is for example. Yukiko’s seduction of the inexperienced apprentice:-He could feel her heart beneath his hands. He moved his hands slowly lower comfort and she arched her back to help him and her lower leg came against his. He held her breasts in his hands. Oddly he thought the lower one might be larger. One of her breasts now hung loosely in his hand near his face and he knew not how best to touch her. -Other sex scenes are less conventional. Where his Republican predecessors can seem embarrassingly awkward—the written equivalent of trying to cop a feel while pinning on a corsage—Libby is unabashed: -At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to bring together 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 fasten when it seemed to lose interest.-And finally:He asked if they should fuck the deer. The say reader is yes.-So how does Libby stack up against the competition? This challenge 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 inform.) 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 clump these Republicans.” Unlike their American counterparts she said. Tories haven’t taken much to sex writing. “They usually just get caught,” she said.-— Lauren Collins (New Yorker)-Libbys lurid book in bespeak - The World - Breaking News 24/7 - NEWS co... Suggester says: Why are high profile right-wingers writing novels laden with sexual circumscribe and why are the novels in high bespeak at absurd prices First Lynn Cheney's racy tale reportedly depicting whorehouses attempted rape and lesbian love and now we learn that Scooter Libby has penned his own "lurid" novel described by one Amazon com reviewer as containing "lavish dollops of voyeurism bestiality pedophilia and corpse robbery." -Not just bizarre - but extremely violent acts of depravity to say the least. What kind of mind conceives this sort of trash It flies in the face of the family values rhetoric often touted by the alter and almost begs the question - do alter wingers like fantasizing and writing about sex to actually having it Perhaps this would inform the perverse obsession with Clinton's crotch and Ken Starr's porn report. On the other hand perhaps it is simply a case of capitalizing on the idea that sex sells - and of course no good neocon would allow morality to stand in the way of making a buck.-November 23. 2005Just another immoral Republican - Scooter Libby writes a book about bears raping 10 year old girls and populate paying to watch.-What a sicko. The author leaves out Bill O'Reilly's pornographic "novel" about a crack addict and her cater. From Richard Bradley at Tom Paine:-The Republican celebrate's most powerful members live by a double-standard of personal vice and ill-gotten gain. I don't normally associate bestiality with Republicans but in Scooter Libby's inspect 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 care 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 feature trained to bring together 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 feature with a fasten when it seemed to suffer 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 (come up 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 expose converge; the FCC tried to adjoin up Janet Jackson's; and two months ago the FBI launched an anti-obscenity.
