George Allen's Desperation Hits TILT!
cross-posted at Huffington Post
Evidently, the Allen campaign doesn't have enough to do. I guess when you can't
afford to have your own candidate open his mouth it makes for dull days. So
they've taken to reading old Webb books for fun. I guess all my posts on Allen's
racism have finally made them crack.
But releasing this in a public
press release?
– A Sense of Honor: “Nurse Goodbody, dark and voluptuous (Lenahan
had forgotten her actual name, it was something long and Italian), was a bedtime
friend to many of the doctors in Bethesda. She had hinted to Lenahan that
she simply could not contain herself. Doctors tending to patients, she explained,
aroused her. Morphine Mary (again Lenahan could not remember her exact name)
was a thin, nervous drill sergeant type, a disciplinarian who did not allow
her patients even to complain. Lenahan was convinced that Morphine Mary did
not even sleep with her husband. She wasn’t bad looking, he mused again,
staring at her thin frame. If she’d just get laid every now and then
she’d mellow out and stop being such a damn witch.” (p. 164) (Lenahan
brings Goodbody home with him and has sex, pp. 188-190)Prentice-Hall, New York, 1981 (hardcover)
Bantam, New York, 1982 (Mass-Market paperback edition), p. 164
Trade paperback edition, Bluejacket Books, 1995, p. 164

Yeah, there's nothing like a good, hard bedding to make the bitch go out of
me. Oops! Did I say that or was it my husband?
Allen is so earnest. It's an insult to any woman who's ever read a romance
novel (aka women's smut).
John
McCain thought Webb's books were great.
Hmmm…. but this reminds me of something, what is it? Can't quite think of
it… coming to me… Oh yeah, Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I.
Scooter Libby.
\”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.\”Republican
Porn – The Apprentice, by Lewis Libby
George Allen's press release has everything but Libby's bears.
And who can forget Lynne
Cheney's classic lesbian lover scenes? Use your imagination.
It's a judgment alert. Why would you release this into the public in a press
release? Desperation, baby, it's ugly in the light. It's also not for public
consumption. Bad call, George, though highly entertaining.
UPDATE (8:30 p.m.): Josh Marshall brings it home.
So now the Allen campaign has resorted to mining Jim Webb's novels for sex scenes.
If Allen really wants to play rough, maybe it's time for some Democrats to start going on the shows and asking about that sealed divorce records of Allen's. All those reporters have a pretty good idea of what's in there. But Sen. Allen (R-VA) just won't agree to let them see it.
It's almost like he's spitting in their face.
