Pulp Fiction: The GOP’S Best-Sellers

Oooh, this is too delish! These neo-con mens and womens who just be lovin' some kinky-ass sexin' up!

See what happens, kids, when all-too-powerful Daddies and Mommies spend all their time berating others for their weaknesses and failings? Then they have to deeply repress their own. Usually that results in a messy, media-saturated confessional after being caught with a male escort, a D.C. hooker, or after writing a unintentionally hilarious potboiler!--Pete

GOP Conservatives’ Library Features Bestiality & Pedophilia

Brothels, sex kittens, pedophilia? We’re not talking about the House Leadership covering up the Mark Foley scandal, we’re talking about what Mrs. Cheney, Newt Gingrich and other GOP conservatives write about. Here is a sampling of what some of the GOP’s best and brightest write about in their novels:

Lynne Cheney’s Book Featured Brothels and Attempted Rape. In 1981, Vice President Dick Cheney’s wife Lynne wrote a book called “Sisters,” which featured a lesbian love affair, brothels and attempted rapes. In 1988, Lynne Cheney wrote about a Republican vice president who dies of a heart attack while having sex with his mistress.

Newt Gingrich Thriller Featured “Exotic Mistress.” Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich co-wrote a thriller called “1945,” featuring such titillations as biting foreplay, "pouting sex kitten," "exotic mistress" and "after-bout inhalation." At one point, the mistress of the president's chief of staff sits "athwart" her lover's chest and hisses that he must tell her a secret "or I will make you do terrible things."

Former Cheney Aide’s Novel Featured Pedophilia and Rape. In 1996, former Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis Libby wrote "The Apprentice," a novel that includes references to bestiality, pedophilia and rape.

Former GOP Governor Bill Weld’s Book Included Sex and Murder. In 1999, former GOP Governor William Weld said of his book, “Big Ugly,” “I think of the theme of this book is sex and money meets the great outdoors.” Weld’s thriller included sex, bribery and murder.

2006 GOP Candidate Wrote Racy Romance Novel. This week, it was discovered that a Republican statewide candidate in Texas, Susan Combs, wrote a romance novel “full of steamy sex scenes.” The book’s heroine is “a freckle-faced brunette” who is drawn to “the gray-eyed bodyguard” and his “powerful, strong arms,” and desires him to "fill the aching void at her center," where a "deep heaviness throbbed in her belly.”
