ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

Those sex-filled book excerpts

Posted: Friday, October 27, 2006 10:51 AM by Will Femia

I know it's necessary, but I hate when the TV folks have to speak in vague terms about sexual content in the news.  The case today is the sex in some books by Senate candidate Jim Webb.  Drudge has the excepts, though none of the context, but at least you can know what people are talking about.

NOTE:  No illustrations or anything, so SFW, but the point here is that they're trying to make a scandal of the sexual content.  If you can't handle sexual content, don't click it.

It's ironic to think that not long ago, Allen was an '08 GOP Presidential hopeful. How egregiously pathetic! Talk about going to hell in a handbasket?

Thanks for the link. Who knew the guy could write? Much better than the usual Republican porn: Scooter Libby's book, Lynn Cheney's lesbian story, Bill O'Reilly's pathetic attempt at erotica. Clearly, the sexual passages in Webb's book have a literary purposes, they are about the dehumanizing nature of war. Webb wasn't writting about sex just for the purpose of titilation.
