Tell-all book could embarrass Christian right with stories of sex, scandal
If excerpts from Lisa Baron's upcoming book are anything to go on, it's sure to be a scandalous read.

My Burning Bush, Baron's memoir of her days as the spokeswoman for Ralph Reed -- the former Christian Coalition leader and the man Time called "The Right Hand of God" -- is being shopped around the New York publishing houses. And it promises to embarrass more than one figure in America's conservative movement.

In one excerpt, Baron addresses the claims that Reed was behind a smear campaign against Sen. John McCain during the 2000 Republican primaries that implied the Arizona senator had had a love-child with a black woman.

"How would I know?" Baron writes, according to the New York Daily News. ""I was too busy giving (George W. Bush's future press secretary) Ari Fleischer (oral sex) in a Greenville hotel room."

8. She's really grumpy that the Abramoff scandal ruined her career:
... I stuck around and become Ralph's Communications Director during his run for Lt. Governor that .. happened to coincide with hearings run by .. John McCain. I was .. tarred and feathered by a scandal I had no idea was taking place down the hall ... I absorbed the full impact of having been associated with .. the largest lobbying scandal in United States history. For one whole year my .. name was a ubiquitous presence in every .. that explored the relationship between .. Reed and .. Abramoff. And .. that relationship was explored ... I will never forget the first job interview I had following the campaign. It was a part-time public relations/public affairs consulting job .. behind a desk and not in front of a camera. After a series of interviews .. the nice lady in human resources told me, "You're just perfect for this job but there is a concern about your previous associations" ... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-baron/what-its-like-to-go-down_b_374280.html

It's no news to most of us that the rightwing plays "use em and lose em." Maybe she's irritated enough by now to reveal something useful, but I wouldn't count on it

9. When asked about her knowledge of Reed taking bribes Baron said...
"How should I know? I was having a threesome with a midget and a guy in a clown suit at the Motel 6."

When asked if she had any knowledge of Jack Abrahmoff's alleged misdeeds she offered,

"How the hell should I know? I was changing Sen. Vitter's diaper and singing Zippedee Dooh Dah while dressed as Aunt Bee down at the Quality Inn."

Should be quite a read!
