Bernie Kerik's former mistress is in the news
and from the sounds of this article, I would assume the folks at NY Press don't really care for her much?


TAKE BERNIE WITH YOU

Is it mere coincidence that two weeks after being named #48 on our "50 Most Loathsome New Yorkers" list, publisher Judith Regan is packing her bags?

Well, probably. Her announced move to Hollywood makes perfect sense. Regan—who, with her HarperCollins imprint Reganbooks, let her inveterate starfuckery run hog wild with an endless series of sex-drenched instabooks by "celebrities" like Amber Frey, Jose Canseco and a hundred others—announced on Monday that she's moving the entire operation out to Hollywood. With easy access to even more quasi-celebrities, Bernard Kerik's former mistress will not only be able to continue her tireless crusade to murder off what little is left of serious American publishing, she also plans to start turning her latest crapfests into quickie made-for-tv movies. It's Regan's trademark brand of garish whoredom at its sleaziest. She'll feel right at home out there.

1. There are some great words and phrases here...
...sex-drenched insta-books, crapfests, garish whoredom, and--my favorite--starfuckery.

2. Good news, I guess.
Fuck this bitch.

Send her packing.

She's a villain on the 5th degree, up with the greatest of tyrants of the Tiber River.

3. Ah, Thanks---an Excuse to Run REGAN/KERIK Agian
------Judith REGAN---------------

.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.

And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.

I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"

Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and fought tooth and nail for a full-face cover photo of the author. "Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

Regan looked straight into the camera and for almost 10 minutes, delivered a pseudo stream-of-consciousness poetry riff mocking Clinton. Referring to his sad boyhood, she mocked his loneliness, then proclaimed that he built himself up and called himself KING, because "I am rich and I can do what I want!" She likened him to the cast out Socks, and envisioned him an old man meeting up with Socks at 125th street, both holding tin cups. ....

It was incredibly vicious. What was especially appalling was how she took the most painful aspects of Bill's background--his truly grievous childhood--and twisted them, using them to mock him. If this wasn't the "politics of personal destruction" I don't know how else you could describe this horrific display. ....
