| Kerry's ex-girlfriend relives their affair in graphic novel |
| 2004-11-14 |
| If John Kerry came across as stiff and awkward during his bid for the White House, then a very different picture of him is emerging - as a silver-tongued womaniser - in a book to go on sale this month. Lee Roystone, a former girlfriend of Mr Kerry, has written a semi-autobiographical novel in which her fictional alter ego, Nikki Matthews, has an on-off affair with a dashing Massachusetts senator - a Democrat whom she says is modelled on Mr Kerry. Nikki, a Harvard graduate, describes her politician lover as a "caveman" in the bedroom who would whisper sweet nothings to her in French - a language Mr Kerry speaks fluently. He also has a home on Beacon Hill, Boston, as does Mr Kerry. In another part of Hedge Fund Mistress, Nikki tells a friend about a particularly wild encounter over dinner with her political paramour, Sen Jim Hoyt. "We were sitting at one end of the long dining room table and suddenly we were feeding each other and kissing, and all over each other, and undressing each other and plates were falling on the floor, food was everywhere, you know, our usual combustible frenzy, and then he carried me to the bedroom," she writes. Asked by her friend what happened next, Nikki says: "We made mad, passionate love and he immediately fell asleep." The unfortunate Nikki, however, almost dies as the senator lies snoring while she goes into anaphylactic shock from eating shellfish. |

| #10 The final trivialization of a campaign that set a new standard for foolishness, vulgarity and vanity in US politics. P Diddy and "Vote or Die." MikeyBoy in the VIP booth. The madness of Maria Tereza. Did he shoot the goose or didn't he? What a f**king clown. The sooner this vain and trivial man disappears from public view, the better. Actually, he could just go back to the Senate, from which he's been absent some twenty years. |

| #8 Some Washington insiders thought this book would go on sale 3 weeks before election day. Most in Mass either know of Kerry's past or have heard the rumours. Maybe after his defeat the Beacon Hill "caveman" might decide not to seek office again? I know...wishful thinking. |

| #6 As the first RB femalian to respond, all I can say is ick. I prefer to leave soft-core porn to those RB malians who have already expressed a taste for such things. The Telegraph exerpts were more than enough for me. |

| #4 Damn. By "graphic" they mean "explicit". I was hoping it was gonna be a "graphic novel", as in comic book. It just seems more fitting, somehow. |
