While browsing the Top 10 Conservative Idiots at Democratic Underground, I found this disturbing item at #7. Michael Crichton didn't like some criticism about his views on global warming. You know, criticism about how the fiction writer thinks he knows more about the topic then say... every single respected climate scientist on the planet. The columnist who criticized Crichton in the New Republic cover story (subscription required) was Michael Crowley.

So how do you think Michael Crichton responded to this criticism? Did he write a letter addressing the merits of Crowley's argument? Did he appear on a news program to give his side of the debate? Did he just ignore the article in question?

No... instead, he created a character in his latest book named "Mick" Crowley, a Washington journalist and toddler-raping pedophile.

Here's the excerpt in question provided by TPM Muckraker.

Alex Burnet was in the middle of the most difficult trial of her career, a rape case involving the sexual assault of a two-year-old boy in Malibu. The defendant, thirty-year-old Mick Crowley, was a Washington-based political columnist who was visiting his sister-in-law when he experienced an overwhelming urge to have anal sex with her young son, still in diapers. Crowley was a wealthy, spoiled Yale graduate and heir to a pharmaceutical fortune. ...

It turned out Crowley's taste in love objects was well known in Washington, but [his lawyer]--as was his custom--tried the case vigorously in the press months before the trial, repeatedly characterizing Alex and the child's mother as "fantasizing feminist fundamentalists" who had made up the whole thing from "their sick, twisted imaginations." This, despite a well-documented hospital examination of the child. (Crowley's penis was small, but he had still caused significant tears to the toddler's rectum.)

...I'm speechless

Never again will I read another Michael Crichton book... or see his movies... or watch ER. It takes a pretty low form of pond-scum to call someone a child-raper who isn't, especially in such a sneaky, back-handed way. I will not put another dollar of mine into Crichton's pocket. I recommend that those in the Kos community do the same.
