Republican Smut

In keeping with the all too common Republican themes of bestiality, pedophilia and corpse robbery, a novel written in 1996 by none other than Scooter Libby has re-surfaced.

An inscribed copy of "The Apprentice: A Novel," which Libby wrote in
1996 when he was a relative unknown outside Washington, was on sale on
online bookseller Amazon.com on Monday for $2,400. Unsigned hardcover
copies were going for $700.

Now out of print, the novel tells the story of an innkeeper apprentice
in a bizarre coming-of-age story set in Japan in 1903. It is littered
with edgy sexual material and strong language.

"Wow, who would have thought that clean living, family values man
Scooter Libby was capable of writing such filth," said one reviewer
on Amazon. Another Amazon reviewer noted its "lavish dollops of
voyeurism, bestiality, pedophilia and corpse robbery."


First of all, I'm not sure how you can call Scooter Libby a "clean living, family values man" when he so obviously played a role in outing a CIA agent and putting the whole country at risk as well as lied to Congress and the American people in a push towards and illegal war.

But putting that aside, this is another juicy tome to add to the Republican Smut section of your library. I'm putting my copy right between Sisters by Lynne Cheney and my printed copy of Andrea Mackris's sexual harassment complaint against Bill O'Reilly.
