Amanda at Pandagon on Scooter Libby's taste for kinky sex:
Inside the dank corners of Scooter Libby's mind
Posted by Amanda Marcotte at 08:13 PM
God, I'm glad I'm a wholesome porn liberal. Sure, many sexual practices get referenced all the time here on the street corner known as Pandagon, but they are wholesome American ones like BDSM and anal sex and "contracepting", certainly nothing like what you might find in, say, a 1996 novel written by Scooter Libby.
At age ten the madam put the child in a cage with a bear trained to couple with young girls so the girls would be frigid and not fall in love with their patrons. They fed her through the bars and aroused the bear with a stick when it seemed to lose interest.All similiarities to the training required to be married to a Republican politician purely coincidental.
Shakes Sis has more. There is a lot I could say about this but I'll just note in passing that it took Libby 20 years to finish this book. Which means that this passage about poking a horny bear with a stick is the product of a labor of love that lasted longer than many marriages.

It seems Libby is not alone in his odd tastes. Pedophelic ursine coupling seems to appeal to a lot of Republicans -
Amazon Sales of Scooter Libby Novel Soar After Indictment
While attending Yale, Libby took a political science class taught by Wolfowitz, who ultimately persuaded him to join the Regan administration. In 1981, Libby began his government career, working in the State Department as a member of the Policy Planning Staff in the Office of the Secretary. From 1982 until 1985, he served as director of special projects in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. It was perhaps this post that inspired him to write "The Apprentice," his 1996 thriller that takes place in 1903 Japan.
The novel earned Libby favorable reviews. The Boston Globe called The Apprentice an "alluring novel of intrigue" while the New York Times Book Review said Libby's "storytelling skill neatly mixes conspiratorial murmurs with a boy's emotional turmoil."
Well, now you know. Since the indictment, Libby's book, The Apprentice (St. Martin's Press), has jumped from #16,249 in sales on Amazon.com to #379, as of Friday evening.
Sick, sick, sick.
