Webb Says His Novels 'Inappropriate' for News Radio

(CNSNews.com) - In an interview on Washington Post Radio Friday morning, Jim Webb, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Virginia, said excerpts of his novels are "a little bit inappropriate" to be read on news radio.

"I don't know why you're reading that on WTOP," Webb told host Mark Plotkin. "I think it's a little bit inappropriate."

Plotkin was reading an excerpt from Webb's novel "Something to Die For," in which Webb describes a female stripper performing sexual acts with a banana.

"I don't think that's appropriate for you to read on WTOP," Webb said again as Plotkin finished the excerpt. (Washington Post Radio is WTOP's sister station.)

The campaign of Republican Sen. George Allen on Thursday released excerpts from some of the war novels Webb wrote between 1978 and 2002. The books include some graphic sexual passages, as well as frequent uses of a racial slur for blacks and descriptions of Vietnamese women as "monkey-faced."

Among the excerpts is a scene from the 2002 novel "Lost Soldiers," in which a man embraces his four-year-old son and places the boy's penis in his mouth.

Webb said the release of the excerpts was "a Karl Rove campaign tactic" and a "classic example of the way this campaign has worked. It's smear after smear."

He defended his fiction as "illuminative."

"It's not a sexual act," Webb told Plotkin regarding the "Lost Soldiers" excerpt. "I actually saw this happen in a slum in Bangkok when I was there as a journalist."

"The duty of a writer is to illuminate his surroundings," he added.

Coincidentally, a Cambodian woman in Las Vegas is facing sexual assault charges for performing a similar act on her young son, according to an Oct. 14 report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The article quotes an office manager for the Cambodian Association of America, who described the act as a sign of respect or love.

"It's an exception," Thira Srey told the Review-Journal of the practice. According to the report, the act is usually performed by a mother or caretaker on a child who is one year old or younger. In Webb's novel, the child is four years old.

Webb criticized the Allen campaign for focusing on excerpts from his novels.

"The most important issue facing the country, he hasn't got a statement to make on it," Webb said of the Iraq war. "This country's been breaking into pieces economically ... they've got no position on that.

Shocking that it would be impossible for a writer to win office.

Yeah, I guess the water fountain line was too long.

if putting my sons crank in my mouth is supposed to 'illuminate' me, I'll stay in the dark, tks.

This gay literature is an abomination in the LEgislative branch of our government.

In the Executive wing is a different matter.

what specific Executive position does Lynne hold?

and lesbianism is on par with pedophelia?

hmmmmm.

I think that pedo-philia has somehting to do with cycling.

Somebody better keep an eye on Lance Armstrong then

I don't think "lesser of two evils" comes anywhere close to describing this race.

Can't argue with that at all, Sir - but at least when we have elections, the parties tend to discuss policies, as opposed to the He-Said-She-Said bullshit that your parties get into.

At least the Tories, Labour and Lib Dems don't behave like morbidly obese black transvestites on Jerry Springer.

Only because that's all you have left to discuss, since the fact that everybody in politics or government in Jolly Olde England is a twisted pig-fucker is just assumed at the outset.

Old joke: One MP reads the newspaper headline to another MP: " Minister of Parliament Accused of Moral Behaviour".

The other MP replies, "Moral behaviour? Preposterous. Why, I boned him up the ass just the other day myself"

When our politicians get caught out, they either resign or die. Shame yours don't.

you dont know what the fuck youre talking about

Ah, I see what you mean, now.

dont comment on american politics if you dont know what youre chatting about, chum.

So you pull out the name of a politician I've never heard of. Well done. Still doesn't make you any less of a cunt.

Nish has a solid point, most the really fucked up stuff in the UK is relegated to The Royals. It's like a good smokescreen for government so dudes can wear wigs and robes and discuss being important for some reason. Well I guess we did had something of that dysfunctional output from The Clintons but compared to inbred British Royals they are insignificant at best.

I always remember an old, but great gag about a Tory Minister found to be having it off with his secretary. Updated, the joke would say;

Whats the Tory party got to do with Ikea?

One loose screw and the entire cabinet falls apart!

Just like a Yank to arrive too late for a battle. We've had that particular lie many a time and oft, new and not-particularly-intelligent poster (note: it was the Russians who won that war, moron).

Go back to the amateur American football forum, little man. Or break out a colouring book and be quiet while the grown-ups are talking.

…And time and oft had your revisionist rhetoric handed right back to you on a plate, tired and intellectually-bereft poster. BTW, how’d that Neville Chamberlain Appeasement-thingy work out for your country? Are your Royals still Nazi sympathizers?

(note: it was the Russians who won that war, moron).

Right. And it only took ‘em about 20 million deaths to finish the job. Idiot. Yeah, the Reds took Berlin… Only because FDR ordered Ike to call off the dogs to allow Uncle Joe’s Thundering Hordes enough time to get their shit together. One thing’s for sure: Montgomery and his British Tommies sure as hell didn’t figure into the outcome.

Now that's funny right there........
I'm thinking without a little help with the destruction of the German Industrial infrastructure the Russkies would probably be marching goosestep in Adolf Hitler Square in Moscow for many years but that's just crazy talk. I'm sure the Russians had all that covered.

im starting to think a majority of these politicians are gay

Had they won, the Nazi’s woulda easily shot your High Command for Crimes Against Humanity

I mean, what other country than America would have endured two full years of eating your tasteless, boiled English food; swilling your war-time, watered-down, piss-warm English beer; and schtupping your lice-ridden, hygienically-challenged, snaggle-toothed English skanks, er… tarts.

The fact that you can cognizantly string two sentences together suggests that you must have a WWII-era Yank grandfather lurking somewhere in your past, Nish.

Oh, please…

Malvinas, smack, Nish?!

Sweet Christ, it only took you gimps four freaking’ months to defeat friggin’ Argentina! Brit Montgomery-types debating the décolletage of your Medals of Valor, no doubt.

Hell, the US woulda been in-and-outta there in four weeks.

For God’s sake, Nish, it’s a good thing you Losers weren’t attacked by Wisconsin.

As if your fucked-up limey accent didn’t stink-out-loud now...

The rest of the Commonwealth, dipshit. About a third of the fuckin' planet - now they all beat us at cricket, too. Don't forgetm that America is the lonely pimply bully on his own in the sandpit. the rest of the kids are all happy playing without them.

A comprehensive catalogue of window-licking ignorance. American bases imported its own food, Yanks smacking on English beer is like standing next to a pre-op John Wayne Bobbit in the urinal and him saying "Not got much there, have you?", and any lice in English women would have been imported.

But even if you weren't talking shit...it would infinately preferable to, y'know...actually doing any fighting, eh?

If they weren't busy propping up another right-wing dictatorship (and that worked out great, didn't it?), and running away from Lebanon like the clearner in Tom And Jerry, that is.

Oh, and by the way; the Falklands War started on April 2nd and ended on June 14th. Factor in six weeks to get a task force over there, and it's patently obvious that a) you don't have a globe, b) you don't have a calendar, and c) you're a fucking moron.

six weeks?

Couldn't you afford new sails?

Too bad, it's a french flag, you imbecile. That's a picture the Multi-national frogs legging it out of North Africa if fear of the ebonic.

Actaully, I shouldn't rag too hard on you, Amurricans wouldn't know what other flags are in the world outside of the 'Starts and Gripes', because any kindergarten teacher that admits to other nations exisitng is frog-marched out of a job faster than you can say "Stalin".

What's the fucking point, pin head? You would only come out with another spew of presonal- beleif-shit masquerading as fact. I wouldn't want you to wet yourself with excitement this close tothe weekend.

Go and find some more arcana that proves you are 'right'.

Wrong. FDR didn't order shit. It was Ike's call and it was the right call. The Soviets took over 100,000 casualties in the Battle of Berlin. Why should we have taken them just to turn around and hand Berlin back to the Russians? That would have been criminally stupid.

The fall of Berlin was incredibly political.

To the victors go the spoils, eh?

Well, FDR traded Berlin – to Stalin – in exchange for Uncle Joe’s blessing on his utopian love-child: The United Nations.

Seriously dude: Did you somehow miss the “D” in front of FDR’s bio? Ever hear of Yalta?

America had two armies with easy autobahn access cooling their heels within 20 miles of the German capitol while the Reds hurled the kitchen sink at demoralized schoolboys packing panzerfausts in a last-ditch effort to defend Berlin.

Tell me you knew.

True. American C-Rats had to have been a serious improvement for our GIs over English fare. But poor Ol’ Ike and his generals were obligated to dine with their English allies out of common courtesy. The American High command was subjected to the likes of pease pottage, steak and kidney pie, and Yorkshire pudding. Yet here we managed to save your junky asses anyway…

Yanks smacking on English beer is like standing next to a pre-op John Wayne Bobbit in the urinal and him saying "Not got much there, have you?"

Right. Even more

Outta 85 categories at the 2006 World Beer Cup, the Brits managed to sweep all of five Gold Medals. Meanwhile, American breweries earned a total 54.

Anything you inbreds can do, America can do 10 times better. Keep in mind, Quiche, anyone with a modicum of talent left your country over 300 years ago. Those that remain… well… become Nishlords.

Talk outta your arse much, Limey?

…and any lice in English women would have been imported.

From where…France?! Still, most-likely a fairly accurate statement…. After all, most of your skanks were too filthy for lice.

But even if you weren't talking shit...it would infinately preferable to, y'know...actually doing any fighting, eh?

Get over yourself, Euro. To paraphrase Aziz from “Robin Hood”: ”You whine like a mule! You are not dead yet!”

Don’t get me wrong, Nish: Your Blokes did a nice job of fighting… That trading time for entire continents strategy was nailz, nicht wahr?

However, we Yanks find it “’infinately’ preferable to, y’know”… actually er, win when we fight. Simply a cultural distinction, I reckon..

Why yes it did, ultimately….

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina# ... _relations

…Argentina was the only country from Latin America to participate in the 1991 Gulf War under mandate of the United Nations, and in every phase of the Haiti operation. It has also contributed worldwide in peacekeeping operations, including in El Salvador-Honduras-Nicaragua, Guatemala, Ecuador-Peru, Western Sahara, Angola, Kuwait, Cyprus, Croatia, Kosovo, Bosnia and East Timor. In recognition of its contributions to international security, U.S. President Bill Clinton designated Argentina as a major non-NATO ally in January 1998. In 2005, it was elected as a temporary member of the UN Security Council.

…and running away from Lebanon like the clearner in Tom And Jerry, that is.

…although just not quite with the same alacrity as the Brits did from Dunkirk, eh, Quiche? BTW, Euro, what the fuck is a “clearner”?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War

…The ongoing tension between the two countries over the islands increased on 19 March when 50 Argentines landed on the British dependency of South Georgia and raised their flag, an act that is seen as the first offensive action in the war. On 2 April Galtieri ordered the 1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands, triggering the Falklands War.

Six whole weeks, eh? No doubt time well spent translating stolen 1500’s circa Portuguese rutters to even find the South Atlantic and avoid falling off the end of the Earth. Fortunate for you that your “task force” had US naval escorts and air cover to protect your cruise ships …er, troop transports

Ungrateful sod.

What is “patently obvious” to me is.

a) Your globe includes the adage ”Here Dragons Lie”;
b) You utilize Stonehenge to mark all dates and seasons;
c) And a “fucking moron” just ran your silly ass. Again.

“Eternal Scobode”? "Eternal Scrotum" would be more apt

Well, now, ‘less you wanna discount the strategic value of all of Eastern Europe…
I’m sure the Czechs, Poles, Hungarians, and Baltics couldn’t wait to sign up for Uncle Joe’s version of repressive Communist Totalitarianism. Dumbass.

That being the case, there was absolutely no reason to for us to bleed for it.

And we wouldn’t have, Mensa. Berliner’s prayed - prayed - for the opportunity to surrender to a benevolent America as opposed to the vengeful, rapacious and murderous Russkies.

Lemme connect the dots for you:

General Simpson and Field Marshall Montgomery were both poised and positioned to easily take Berlin.
But Eisenhower ordered them to stand down;
Because Roosevelt ordered Ike to stand down;
Because Stalin agreed to sign off on Roosevelt’s United Nations in exchange for Berlin and Eastern Europe.

The final chapter in the destruction of Hitler's Third Reich began on April 16, 1945 when Stalin unleashed the brutal power of 20 armies, 6,300 tanks and 8,500 aircraft with the objective of crushing German resistance and capturing Berlin. By prior agreement, the Allied armies halted their advance on the city in order to give the Soviets a free hand. The depleted German forces put up a stiff defense, initially repelling the attacking Russians, but ultimately succumbing to overwhelming force. By April 24 the Soviet army surrounded the city slowly tightening its stranglehold on the remaining Nazi defenders. Fighting street-to-street and house-to-house, Russian troops blasted their way towards Hitler's chancellery in the city's center.

Oh, don’t get me wrong: Several of your “hardcore fanatics Nazi Germany had left to offer” did hang around to shoot the odd Jungend-or-seven for cowardice. But most were too busy dying for their Fatherland in the East. That left, for the most part, a buncha old beats armed with shovels and school kids with one-shot panzerfausts to defend their city against Stalin’s Hordes.

The radio announced that Hitler had come out of his safe bomb-proof bunker to talk with the fourteen to sixteen year old boys who had 'volunteered' for the 'honor' to be accepted into the SS and to die for their Fuhrer in the defense of Berlin. What a cruel lie! These boys did not volunteer, but had no choice, because boys who were found hiding were hanged as traitors by the SS as a warning that, 'he who was not brave enough to fight had to die.' When trees were not available, people were strung up on lamp posts. They were hanging everywhere, military and civilian, men and women, ordinary citizens who had been executed by a small group of fanatics. It appeared that the Nazis did not want the people to survive because a lost war, by their rationale, was obviously the fault of all of us. We had not sacrificed enough and therefore, we had forfeited our right to live, as only the government was without guilt. The Volkssturm was called up again, and this time, all boys age thirteen and up, had to report as our army was reduced now to little more than children filling the ranks as soldiers."
