MSNBC is creaming Webb over the "graphic sex" in the novels.

[annabanana]

He is being hammered right now. "Sex filled novels".. "Will it turn off female voters and tilt the seat Republican?"

[Fierce]

1. Heh. You said "creaming."

nt

[annabanana]

2. they DO seem to be enjoying it a lot

[originalpckelly]

10. A family friend used to work with a law firm:

Siemen and Creamer. No joke.

19. Can someone explain to me why R's are trying to make this...

...an issue a la Foley?

I don't get the controversy here.

3. isnt 99% of the buyers of Harlequin books female?

my sister has boxes of them... some of them get quite graphic she tells me..

only repubs would think that women are sexless creatures..

[KoKo]

8. Yes...but Harlequin readers are looking for the guys and romance....

I think the guys reading Webbs books (he said written for military readers) are looking for the opposite. Might make it a different twist for female voters.

[grasswire]

4. did Lynn Cheney's steamy lesbian novel turn off Republican voters?

Well?

Well?

[KoKo]

7. MSNBC didn't bother reading Cheney out loud... Did they really read

the passages that were up on Drudge...cutting a banana in four slices with her Vagina? (that one really had me wondering...the logistics of it) :eyes:

I can't believe they read what Drudge had snips of on his site. :wow:

[KoKo]

9. I agree with Josh Marshall....let's ask why Macaca's divorce records are

sealed. Josh said "the reporters know what's in there." Might be time to ask Allen some questions, there.

Only thing is that Webb has been married three times...so it might be a wash to bring it up.

[SaveElmer]

5. Well I'm sure all 6 people watching MSNBC this morning...

Will be profoundly disturbed...

[amitten]

6. This story has no legs whatsoever. Foley made sure of that...

How can sexy novels ever hope to compare to seducing minors???

:eyes:

11. Webb was just retelling what he saw in Bangkok, when he was a journo,

according to Jefferson_Dem. See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2495313 , and rate it up.

[EC]

12. Weren't those written when he was Republican?

Can't he just say, "Well, it was the company I was keeping at the time, you know Republicans? ...and now that's he's in more moral company (The Dems) he's gotten a much nicer view of life and how it can be." ...or something of that sort?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Reality- He Was Just Writing About What He Saw In Southeast Asia

Joe and Joanne's Perception-He's a flake.


Every candidate should be warned his life is an open book when he runs for office

14. Lions and tigers and bears, and graphic sex, oh, my! n/t

[Marnieworld]

15. Didn't O'Lielly write something similar?

They are desperate

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Yeah- And I thought He Was A Flake...

eom

[Rex]

16. HAHA! M$NBC shows its true form.

Dream on M$NBC! Repukes are going down! I hope your new bosses treat you the same way you've been treating America! :rofl:

[Akoto]

17. The sex in the book really is terrible.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch some graphic violence and explicit sex on Republican-owned television.

:sarcasm:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Sidney Sheldon-They Are Not

LMFAO

[gatorboy]

23. It's called desperation.

At this point, they'll say anything that takes even a small amount of heat off the Repugs.

[kevinbgoode]

22. Really...did Lynne Cheney's novel turn people against

voting for her husband?

[NashVegas]

24. Is It Halfway As Good As Bears Mating w/Young Girls in Brothels?

I'd like to see that!

[Marnieworld]

25. I forgot that one

Was that Scooter? I bet he would love a spotlight on him now!
