I have thus far resisted discussing the “Washingtonienne” sexblog scandal because, hey, this is a family website. (Okay, okay, really it’s just because I was too lazy to post about it.)
But now the Washington Post has published an interview with Washingtonienne — a.k.a. Jessica Cutler, until recently a staff aide to Sen. Mike DeWine — which a) makes the story more “legitimate”; and b) saves me the work of explaining what happened.
What’s more, the Post story reveals that Washingtonienne is also a former Joe Lieberman intern! So that makes this a must-post story here on BrendanLoy.com!
So yeah, anyway, read the whole thing, and find out what the hell I’m talking about. :)
Wonkette, of course, has been all over this story — it’s right up her alley (or should I say gutter?). She was the one, in fact, who outed Washingtonienne and, albeit unintentionally, got her fired.
But there are no hard feelings, apparently. On Friday, Wonkette published the first Washingtonienne interview — then last night, she went out for drinks with the only D.C. blogger more infamous than herself, resulting in this picture:
That’s Wonkette on the left, Washingtonienne on the right. Because this is still technically a family website, I will refrain from publishing my uncensored thoughts on the photo. :)
Washingtonienne’s blog no longer exists at its original location, but it has been archived here. Parental discretion is very much advised.
P.S. Check out who owns the domain washingtonienne.com! Savvy bastards.
P.P.S. Stand up for your right to (ahem) kiss and tell! Save Washingtonienne! :)
P.P.P.S. On a (slightly) more serious note, Volokh has a good analysis of the First Amendment implications of Washingtonienne’s firing.

An interesting, sordid account of affairs! I must say that, although she maintains otherwise, this type of activity on the Hill is pretty darn rare by percentage if still numerous by actual numbers. Of course, logic would say that if such scandal was really common, nobody would care about this story.

This low-level no-significance Gossip piece is altogether unworthy of any notice whatsoever on your fine website. / WAW HAW HAW HOO HAH! Thanks! :)
“She seemed blase about having six regular partners, telling us: ‘You know, there’s seven days a week.’” har har Then it’s off to Mass on Sunday to pray fer a Crop failure. :)
“In the interview, she described the $400 payment as ‘more like a gift than it was paying for a service’ and wouldn’t say how much money she has made for sex. ‘I don’t want the IRS banging down my door.’” O so they’re lookin’ for their Gift Tax izzit! She better worry about the PO-leece “banging down her door” [sic]. We heard some employees of the ATF, FBI, CIA, GSA & RNC :) have already come calling. So to speak.
“…I will refrain from publishing my uncensored thoughts on the photo. :)” We’re just shure. We know your Kind, kid, you don’t give a Hoot about Washingtonienne, you just wanna have transparent red babies with Wonkette. Mister Wonkette will make Scrambled Eggs of you while Rebecca burns your Toast. :) What’s the deal with this Girls’ Night Out that “…ended in a suburban Virginia farmhouse.” Inquiring minds want to Know. :)
Bah. As I said, most unworthy. :) Washingtonienne’s ex-boss Saint Joe Lieberman will give a Senate speech condemning this Immorality. Tsk tsk.
PS - O SO IT’S “MOVE ON” IZZIT! I’d say Several have put the old Move on, here, unless I’m very much mistaken. :) Say, get this trash off yer site wouldya, what were ye, raised by Raucous Wolves or something? :)
