Yea ok, I get it already.  Politics is ugly.  In my last blog I noted that this is the ugliest election year I can remember.  Well this is that much more so.

This is as ugly as I have ever seen.  But…at the same time, if Foley was a pervert for making slightly suggestive remarks to an underage page, how sick is Webb to write some of this?  Some of the scenes are clearly delving into child porn.

So yes, this is ugly…but which is uglier, the guy who wrote it, or the people who want to use it against him?

Yea I know.  Free speech.  Well, decide for yourself if Allen crossed the line in reporting/revealing it, or if Webb did for authoring it.

Or if this is just more stupid politics.

I will state for the record that I have no personal interest in this race, nor do I have any in depth knowledge of either candidate.  This is being reported as being noteworthy in the discourse about the tactics in national political canpaigns, and may not be used as an implied or stated endorsement or condemnation of either candidate.

Sen. George Allen, R-VA, unleashed a press release late Thursday that exposed his rival’s fiction writing, which includes graphic underage sex scenes.

The press release, as provided by the Allen Campaign:

WEBB’S WEIRD WORLD

The Author’s Disturbing Writings Show a Continued Pattern of Demeaning Women

· Some of Webb’s writings are very disturbing for a candidate hoping to represent the families of Virginians in the U.S. Senate.

· Many excellent books about the United States military and wartime service accomplish their purposes, and even win awards, without systematically demeaning women, and without dehumanizing women, men and even children.
