Almost everyone seems to have an opinion about "50 Shades of Grey" lately, and of course, Tea Party fave and media darling State Rep. Todd Courser is no exception.

Courser took to Facebook recently, writing:

"You're going to want to hurry and pre-order this book now! I am thinking about writing a book and then retiring, i have just decided being rich and famous is the goal; so I am writing a book; I realize it's got to have a ridiculously idiotic title and appeal almost entirely to women who can read and of course it has to appeal to all those men who read women's books for the pictures; so I am working the title; it's like, "fifty shades of ridiculous stupidity and a really sad excuse for a relationship," it's going to be huge! 

It's about a self obsessed arrogant controlling manipulative loser who women love to loath and who they would never want to be with and yet want to obsess over; the main character will treat women as objects to control and manipulate; it's about a "her" who is seen as powerless until she feels the power of "his" rich loveless self totally focused on totally controlling every aspect of her, because this idiot isn't about love he is about controlling and manipulating; it will sell billions of copies; it will be a really sad excuse for a real relationship; but it will be all the rage on every news medium and it will get turned into a God awful movie that will star some metro sexual dude who in no way resembles real genuine authentic manhood and the world will flock to it and I'll be rich and maybe I'll give a few bucks to charity to clear my conscious; ooooor maybe let's just forget the whole idea because I think I am heading off to bed instead."

Looks like Courser went to bed, and judging by his post, "50 Shades" was nowhere nearby and won't be on the Valentine's Day weekend agenda.
