Crappy novelist douchebag Michael Crichton received a fair amount of criticism for his 2004 novel State of Fear, which denies the existence of global warming and turns environmentalists into terrorists. (John Stossel loved it.) But one critic got a little more than he bargained for. In March 2006, Michael Crowley wrote a cover story for the New Republic which took on Crichton's dismissal of the opinions of the vast majority of climate scientists. Apparently Crichton wasn't too happy about Crowley's piece, so he gave him a small cameo in his most recent novel, "Next", as a penile challenged child rapist - Classy stuff!
