what the Hell is wrong with these people?
descriptions and reviews of a 1996 novel written
by the recently indicted Scooter Libby.

When a purportedly educated advocate of
all things moral, upright, and "Christian" writes his
only novel, and it contains references to perversions that
would make Larry Flynt lose his lunch, (you are
hereby warned..)
- you have to ask:
What the HELL is wrong with these people?

quick example:
"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."

1. Dear God.
Wouldn't it be nice if some MSM outlet had the guts to report even a euphemistic and sanitized version of his sick scribblings?

2. Much psychology has been written on this
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 03:26 AM by nadinbrzezinski
by people who are qualified, about the sexual deviancy of Nazis... you may want to start there, for many members of totalitarian governments share some common fears... and sexuality is one of them

3. sickos
I'd say their deep seated issues have issues. Who the hell would even think of something like that?

5. This WILL hit the MSM
As soon as/if Scooter flips on Cheney. The it will all we hear about for a week.

I think that there are a lot of repressed republicans who have serious sexual hang ups and projection issues. They think that if it wasn't for their strict "Morality" and "Values" we'd all be out there making our children have sex with bears.

10. I think you've got it.
They think morality is something that must be enforced from the outside.

I haven't been inside a church for decades, except for the occasional wedding or funeral - but I live a pretty decent and moral life because I was brought up that way.

Of course, I also see morality and consensual adult sex as separate and distinct....

7. don't forget Lynne Cheney wrote a book with some very interesting themes.
I'm convinced the neoconservative movement is fueled by denial, resentment, and self-loathing.

11. “God, they’re an odd bunch, these Republicans.”
Not just odd. Perverted. Depraved. Immoral.
