Default Dubya Bush's Scooter Libby is a pedophile, don't trust a man named "Scooter" especially a Republican


“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.”

SCOOTER’S SEX SHOCKER
Issue of 2005-11-07
Posted 2005-10-31


Of all the scribbled sentences that have converged to create the
Valerie Plame affair, the most remarkable, in literary terms, may
belong to Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney’s recently deposed chief of
staff. “Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be
turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them. Come
back to work—and life,” he wrote in a jailhouse note to Judith Miller.
Meant as a waiver of confidentiality, the letter touched off the sort
of fevered exegesis more often associated with readings of “The Waste
Land” than of legal correspondence. For even 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 neck, plunged her head 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 long 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 write “The Apprentice,” which
is set in a remote Japanese province in the winter of 1903. The book
is brimming with quasi-political intrigue and antique locutions—“The
girl who wore the cloak of yellow 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 mention of lice, snot, drunkenness, bad
breath, torture, urine, “turds,” armpits, arm hair, neck 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 **** 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 character 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 sort 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 still 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
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.


And, finally:

He asked if they should **** the deer.


The answer, reader, is yes.

So, how does Libby stack up against the competition? This question 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 Report.) 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 bunch,
these Republicans.” Unlike their American counterparts, she said,
Tories haven’t taken much to sex writing. “They usually just get
caught,” she said.

And how ignorant are you? He's an author for chrissakes. This is a passage
taken out of context from one of his works. It's not an indictment, asshole.
Have you ever read a book in your life?
