Teasing The Panther

Glenn Beck's got a novel out called "The Overton Window". It's a Turner Diaries-style conspiracy yarn about a government (big and liberal of course) plot to explode a nuclear bomb somewhere in America and pin the blame on the Founders Keepers, a fictional Tea Party-like group. My, I wonder how many wingnut terrorists will cherish dog-eared copies of this slab o' crap and mutter "Glenn, you opened my eyes" as they plan future attacks? Becky will be so proud.

Media Matters has read this thing and calls it a "truly and remarkably awful novel". They also post excerpts to prove it.

My favorite bit is when Beck's hero Noah is in bed with his girlfriend and she asks him to lay off the hanky panky. Noah agrees on the condition that she "not do anything sexy." When she presses her cold feet against his legs, Noah responds:

"[Y]ou're playing with fire here. I've got some rules, too, and rule number one is, don't tease the panther."

"Teasing the panther"??? I'll bet a grand of anyone's money that'll catch on like wildfire!
