16 Times I Was Not Turned On by This Glasses-Themed Erotic Thriller About Jeb Bush
Politics

It’s literally impossible to look at lagging Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush and not think about s-e-x. That wan, empty smile, the way he brings up 9/11 almost constantly—oh my god, where are my pants?
Just goofin’ with you! Following mind-blowing I.I. Dene masterpiece Bernie’s Desire, in which Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders hosts an orgy and turns into a bear, Hard Books’ insane “Presidential Passion” eBook series is back with a dark 63-page sexual thriller called The Light in Jeb’s Eyes, written by the formidably named D.M. Regis. Unfortunately, even the handsome not-at-all-Jeb gracing the cover couldn’t save this novella from its rigid ophthalmological focus and startlingly violent plot twist.

The story’s protagonist is Marietta, an eye doctor who begins to have an affair with the presidential candidate, then becomes obsessed with his glasses, then realizes his glasses have evil powers that allow Jeb to not see Palestinians, Trayvon Martin, and Syrian refugees, then becomes a misandrist, then purposefully (spoiler!) blinds him during a Lasik surgery, and then gets locked up in Guantanamo Bay where she writes this story on a roll of toilet paper. The word “glasses” appears 39 times.
Here are the 16 least sexually exciting moments of this book, ranked in chronological order:

He usually came twice. When it was happening, I couldn’t believe it.

Sometimes being with him made me sweat so much I’d get shivery, which was the feeling that went up my spine whenever I thought of God or the devil.
3.
Holding his glasses in my hands, I felt connected to his power.
4.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said, as he kissed me. He looked in my eyes. “I just don’t like it when women clean my glasses. They never feel clean afterward. It’s a pet peeve of mine.”
