There’s no question that Laura Bush provided the inspiration for protagonist in Curtis Sittenfeld’s upcoming novel, “American Wife.” And although the tale Sittenfeld concocts is almost pure fiction, there’s enough of the first lady in it to already have created a sensation in Washington, D.C.

Radaronline.com called “American Wife” “a thinly veiled novel based on Laura Bush's life that is sure to send the White House into a fury.”

A review of the plot synopsis and several lurid excerpts posted by Radaronline.com show why. Alice Blackwell, the title character, is a single child who grows up to be a librarian. A Democrat, she falls for the roguish son of a privileged family of Republican bluebloods. As a high school student, she kills a classmate in a traffic accident. As a young woman, she has an illegal abortion and discovers her grandmother is a lesbian. And she describes in graphic detail sex with the president of the United States, a man whose policies she comes to utterly disagree with but whom she continues to love.

The sex scenes, which are too graphic to reprint here, include a loving description of the presidential plumbing and musings on his "cute little butt." :puke:
