Sex + politics = bestseller

Attention Harlequin romance readers, there's a new erotic literature genre in town: While America can't stop reading about politicians and their behind closed doors sexual exploits, editor Stephen Elliot (author of My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up) , can't get enough of erotica inspired by politicians. Sex for America, a collection of sexy stories from great writers like Jerry Stahl and Jonathan Ames, takes its inspiration from the sordid lives of the political illuminati. In the words of this Bookslut.com review:

"Sex and politics: they go together like peanut butter and jelly, or, more to the point, penises and KY jelly. Why there hasn't been a great politically-inspired erotica collection until now is anyone's guess, but here it is -- wonderfully weird, and erotic, and silly, and interesting and a little creepy in some ways (Dick Cheney in a love scene = nausea) but never boring. Oh no, never dull. It pulls down the pants of traditional erotica and gets down on its red, white and blue knees in star-spangled literary delight."

Gee whiz, it doesn't get better than that, now does it?
