SPIEGEL SURFS THE WEB Libby: "He Held her Breasts in his Hands" And today, a quiz. Who wrote the following? "One of her breasts now hung loosely in his hand near his face and he knew not how best to touch her." A hint: He was indicted last Friday. AP I. Lewis Libby, indicted last Friday, is also a novelist. Quick quiz: Who wrote the following lines? "He could feel her heart beneath his hands. He moved his hands slowly lower still and she arched her back to help him and her lower leg came against his. He held her breasts in his hands. Oddly, he thought, the lower one might be larger.... One of her breasts now hung loosely in his hand near his face and he knew not how best to touch her." Give up? It's I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff who was indicted on Friday for his role in the exposure of CIA agent Valerie Plame. Turns out, as the New Yorker writes in its Halloween issue, Libby is a novelist as well. His book "The Apprentice" is, the New Yorker writes, Libby's "1996 entry in the long and distinguished annals of the right-wing dirty novel." Bush's New Supreme Court Nominee Samuel A. Alito Facing criticism on a variety of fronts, US President George W. Bush on Monday nominated the conservative judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court to fill a vacancy being left by departing justice Sandra Day O'Conner. And this time -- as opposed to his controversial nomination of his own legal advisor Harriet Miers, who withdrew her name from consideration last week -- Bush has picked someone with many years experience on the bench about whom much is known. Everyone seems to agree that Alito is a conservative and he has even earned the nickname "Scalito," a reference to ultra-conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Democrats are not likely to embrace him and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has already promised that "the Senate needs to find out if the man replacing Miers is too radical for the American people." Bush hailed Alito as "one of the most accomplished and respected judges in America," in his nomination speech and said Alito "has a master of the law and a deep commitment to justice." To learn what legal minds think, check out the current discussion taking place on the conservative-leaning "Volokh Conspiracy." World History through Fox News's "Fair and Balanced" Eyes It's supposed to be a television still, showing a news report from an event in Alabama. The black-and-white film shows firemen pointing a high-pressure hose at black protesters sitting on a sidewalk. But in this "what if Fox had been there?" world, the talk is not of civil rights demonstrations or discrimination. Instead, words on the screen scream: "Negroes Attack Police, Demand Special Rights." The crawl at the bottom on the screen lets it be known that segregationist Governor George C. Wallace is not going to negotiate with "terrorists." It's just one of the site's takes on how events might be seen through the Fox News prism . Others include the sacking of Troy, the sinking of the Titanic, and the crucifixion of Jesus, which this fantasy Fox describes as a "carpentry accident" while announcing its next program, "Rome's Scariest Chariot Races." While the site might not be appreciated by Fox fans, for those who think the news channel tends to stretch the bounds of journalistic objectivity, it's a riot.
