progressive cyberdadaism from our nation’s capital
Digby’s post on “our” renewed interest in the more prurient aspects of the Clintons’ affairs, reminds me of one of my old pet interests. I have a profound and insatiable interest in The Shooter’s love life. I want to know how often they do it, with who, and, of course, who gets to hold the hunting rifle.
I figure it’s out there, so, like Wilson’s wife, the Cheney’s are fair game.
Speaking of Wilson, I recently ran across this passage from Mrs. Shooter’s 1981 hit porn novel, Sisters:
As Wilson moved toward Sophie, she stood, but the dog growled menacingly, and she dared move no farther. Wilson grabbed her by the shoulders and put his face on her neck, nuzzling her. He mumbled words she couldn’t understand.
He kissed her then, full on the lips as before, and he began to fumble with the buttons on the front of her dress. His breath, the whiskers scratching her face, his filthy hands on her flesh- suddenly it was too much. No matter the consequences, she could not accept this. “No!” she shouted, breaking away from him and lunging for the door.
One wonders who Wilson was based on. Someone with a drinking problem, who’s violent and mumbles incoherently. I’m just not sure who.
