Judith REGAN Won't Rat-out KERIK

[UTUSN]

She won't, she won't, she won't-----although...what makes him different from how she talked about everybody else in her past (2nd link)?

. . . Publisher Judith Regan, subpoenaed to rat out ex-lover Bernie Kerik, tells pals: "I never said anything against him. I won't say anything against him. People are saying I'll speak against him. They're saying I have been speaking against him. No. Not true. I won't. I'm not." OK, Judith.

.... 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.

1. She was on 60 Minutes last week

They didn't mention her association with Kerik, apart from her role in publishing his book.

IMHO -- I found her absolutely appalling -- a brash, hard-boiled pig. Made for Bernie, in other words.

3. I saw that 60 Minutes.

The main focus of the story was how porn is becoming more and more mainstream. Judith of course was there to pimp her new book, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star A Cautionary Tale by Jenna Jameson. I couldn't believe they didn't point out the hypocrisy in this coming out from a company so closely associated with the right wing. Shouldn't the fundies be outraged by this?

2. Knowing Kerik, she's afraid he would kill her.

4. I hate to break it to Judith

But if she's been subpoenaed and she refuses to rat him out, she'll be arrested for contempt of court. They ain't married. She is legally required to answer questions about him.

Either she rats him out, or she goes to jail. Talk about your win/win situations!
