you won't believe how sick and vile this asshole's mind is. I won't post it, suffice to say his book not only includes violent rape but hints of incest. go to the link to read.
OK, one line because I can't stop laughing at what may be one of the worst metaphors EVAH:
"his erection was the ferris wheel for her to play on, and he would pay her cash to ride.
Introduce yourself to Dr. Starner Jones, who would like to be the congressman from Mississippis 1st District, which covers a wide swath of the northern section of Mississippi, from the Memphis suburbs all the way east to g
of the American Family Association. Dr. Jones, who has been endorsed by failed pizza teabagger Herman Cain, is one of them common sense teabagger conservative types who just wants a fair tax and hates the Mexicanos, stuff like that. And of course, he wants to repeal Obamacare because, as a medical doctor, according to a letter he wrote to Jacksons Clarion-Ledger newspaper in 2009, he really doesnt like the idea of healthcare for patients with a shiny new gold tooth.
Dr. Jones wrote himself a gross rapey sex book in 2012 called Purple Church, and former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says that Jones is one of the freshest voices I have read in years. Republican Sen. Roger Wicker endorsed it on the back cover. Well, if those dudes like it, this shits gonna be GREAT, right?

SO much SO wrong. But it IS a master class in unintentionally hysterical porn.

The problem with no health care in places like Missisippi is that tropical diseases are spreading in the Southern US, such as the 'chicken goonyah' disease that is spread by mosquito.
A mosquito bites an infected person and then goes on to spread it to the next person it bites, The disease is very painful, with intense joint pain and can last for years.
Do idiots like Starner Jones ( what a sick perv he is ) and others think that the mosquitoes are going to ask them about their socioeconomic status before they bite?
Do idiot teabaggers believe that their religion or their political party will have some influence with the mosquitoes?
You provide health care to all - even to the toothless or the gold-toothed - to protect all of us. When you leave some people vulnerable to disease, we are ALL more at risk.
Even guys with ferris-wheel-shaped dicks, like Dr. Jones.

(115,677 posts)"Disappointed (insert dash) like a wilted ('nother dash) magnolia, drooping (insert dubble dash) downward in a sexually unaroused (need another dash?) but pruriently hopeful kind of way." If you found that fantasy semi-sentence inspiring you'll love this book. The reviews made it sound fresh and eventful. However, nothing happens except a pole dancer services a preacher. We might have been bored enough by the frightfully standard 'southern references' setting to care, if the author knew how to create characters.
I truly cannot express sufficient criticism to tell what all is wrong with this mess. Yes, it's a totally unappealing look at sex between two unlikely and emotionally unattractive people. Yes, there's a stock 'ruined girl' rape scene, there's a couple pokes at organized religion, and the abovementioned determinedly southern conventions are dragged about to edify the non-southern public. Unfortunately after you plow through them and scrape off the moldy odor, there's nothing else. There is no emotional tie to anyone; the characters are wooden. And then we get to the writing. Oh My Gosh. Someone break the dash button on this guy's computer. He is unable to write two sentences in a row without punctuating with a breezy email-like dash or three. Semicolons verbotten. Only dashes need apply.
The ending is a reverse Grisham. Though we're dying to be entertained, no miscellaneous characters appear, just the same old ones recycling their problems. We hear abortion, we hear forgiveness, we hear street preacher, we hear 'back on the pole.' We have we hands over we ears at this point. I can honestly say this is one of the top 10 worst books I've ever read. And you've got to wonder how he got a wonderful review from Congressman Roger Wicker and former Governor Haley Barbour. Political connection, ya think?
I see a review above which refers to this author's friends as the 'Tea Party crowd.' As an active Tea Party member I'm somewhat offended but realize that low-information voters often don't keep up with reality. However, after reading reviews on this thing it is pretty clear that writing talent was not considered on the book jacket comments. Rather than Tea Party affiliation, of which the author has none, I'd credit standard Republican club. Perhaps social position or daddy's connections helped get this out into the reading world? At any rate, the best thing about the book is the cover. It's pretty.
I suppose that life as am ER doc in Mississippi isn't all it's cracked up to be after you write a disgraceful and pandering letter to the editor criticizing a patient on Medicaid for having a cell phone, a gold tooth, and "name brand" shoes. Perhaps the "good" doctor is attempting to parlay his opposition to health care reform into a gig as an author now? I'm sure that the rabid tea-party loonies are perfectly willing to support anyone who ISN'T part of the "other," but this novel is a piece of sordid over sexualized trash that has no place on any decent person's bookshelf.
