Bear Naked Libby's
No time for blogging lately, and just when the news gets sexy.
If, by chance, you missed it. Scooter Libby wrote a steamy, if not downright sadistic novel called The Apprentice in 1996.
Now out of print, the book's value is soaring on Amazon.com and eBay, with asking prices as high as $2400.
"The book includes incest, a hunter who wonders if he should shag a freshly killed deer while it's still warm, and a girl kept in a cage and raped by a bear to train her to become a prostitute," writes Editor & Publisher.
"Wow, who would have thought that clean living, family values man Scooter Libby was capable of writing such filth," said one reviewer on Amazon, according to a Reuters story.
Reminds one of Bill O'Reilly who, after settling a sexual harassment lawsuit levied against him by an intern last year(for an undisclosed amount of cash, in exchange for her permanent silence on the matter), reintroduced his 1998 novel that is also rife with sexual and violent imagery: Those Who Trespass: A Novel of Murder and Television (and don't forget, of course The O'Reilly Factor For Kids).
But Trespass hasn't quite had the success of Libby's Apprentice. When I last checked Amazon.com (see screen capture), O'Reilly's trash novel was selling for as low as 20 cents.
My question: how many of these "faith and values" conservatives are would-be, or actual rapists and pedophiles dressed up like Jesus? Perhaps Satan only knows, but Air America Radio host Randi Rhodes has created a list.
