John Aravosis has a nice comment about the slime-meisters--

Virginia Republican George Allen & Lesbian sex novelist Lynne Cheney owe the US Marine Corps an apology

Very interesting find a reader just sent me. One of Virginia Democratic Senate candidate Jim Webb's books that Republican Senator George Allen thinks is vulgar and inappropriate reading is actually on the recommended books list for the US Marine Corps. VP spouse Lynne Cheney also finds this literature inappropriate for children, which is kind of obvious considering it's literature for the Marines.

The book, Fields of Fire, is one of the three books that Allen has a problem with. I guess Mr. Allen will need to take his complaint all the way to Iraq and tell our troops that they're unfit for command since they have read, and recommend for reading, Mr. Webb's book.

Narrator explaining senatorial candidate Jim Webb's books are required reading by the USMC,

Then narrator reading the USMC's praise of "Field's of Fire."

Title:  Good Enough For Our Fighting Men, Good Enough for Virginia.

Here is what the USMC thinks of Jim Webb's supposedly porno novels:

Fields of Fire
The Classic Novel of the Vietnam War
Written By Webb, James

Bantam Books, New York, NY © 1979
360 Pages

James Webb. a well-known Marine Corps Navy Cross recipient in Vietname and former Secretary of the Navy, conveys the experience of combat with rare lucidity through fiction. In fact, Fields of Fire is less fictional than most realize. It is the Vietnam War as the author lived it, and the reader sees and feels it through the eyes of the book's main character, a platoon commander in Company D, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines.

The novel is about the reality of war that Marines must come to grips with today as we prepare for the future. Fields of Fire is the story of the young, enlisted Marines who fought under then Lieutenant Webb. The reader should note carefully their emotions, motivations, courage, and fears for they are the men who have served us best in every war. Their social backgrounds vary, and many of our best warriors came from the lowliest of stations. In terms of the brotherhood of those who bleed together and the nobility of sacrifices made for friends, the characters in Webb's novel are timeless. He succeeds brilliantly in making them real. Webb creates a doctrine of combat leadership and a creed for the succeeding generation on how and why Marines fight.

IF, if we make it one.  I have been emailing this info to everyone I can.  I bombarded Talking Points Memo, I emailed and emailed.  We must make enough noise so the press will run a big story.

AND The Webb camp MUST run ads highlighting this:

GOOD ENOUGH FOR OUR BRAVE AND FIGHTING MEN AND WOMEN, GOOD ENOUGH FOR VIRGINIANS!! 

‘nuff said.

This is the ad Admiral Joe Sestak ran when Curt "Under Federal Investigation" Weldon Swiftboated him.
