Geez, people. Give the guy a break. He didn’t write the book.
“Girlfriend.” Right. It was probably a dude.
Actually, I would say that the girlfriend is a composite of Barry’s gay bathhouse buddies.
Just a bit of fictional transgendering there. And what’s wrong with that? It’s a hate crime if you object!
The girlfriends were imaginary, the boyfriends were real.
It’s a MAN’S COUNTRY, baby!
Obama rejected his first book title. My Commie Handlers Dreamed Up My Life Story.
and if you are going to go to the trouble of creating a fake composite girlfriend, why isn’t she Marilyn Monroe and Tina Louise with a little dash of Marisa Tomei and a pinch of Bar Rafaeli thrown in for good measure?
Dare one speculate that Husseins’ composite girlfriend was a mix of boys and girls?

His "composite" probably had alternate parts than the originals.
I thought “her” name was Larry...Sinclair.
