As I write this novel...filthy, yes, it's true
The contents must stay hidden...or my campaign is through
If I'm smeared, I know that Rove's behind it
I'm hoping he won't find it
Or else I am screwed...my campaign is through
I'll write about children and their privates
I might have to deny it
Or else I am screwed...my campaign is through
As I write this novel...I just got aroused
But it is family values that I'm gonna espouse
Do not read this to your children, mothers
In fact, don't read the others
Or else I am screwed...my campaign is through
As I write this novel...I just got aroused
But it is family values...that I'm gonna espouse
Although my opponent will abhor it
The mainstream will ignore it
Or else I am screwed...my campaign is through
My campaign is through...it is through
Webb Says His Novels 'Inappropriate' for News Radio

Webb Says His Novels 'Inappropriate' for News Radio By Nathan Burchfiel CNSNews.com Staff Writer October 27, 2006
(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. 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.
how about "shake, shake, shake ..." (KC & the Sunshine Band) replaying Webb's account of a man shaking a young boy upside down and ... well you know what Webb wrote about.
Webb only gets one. There are only so many hours in the day.
