This was thanks in part to a sisterly new champion: Ana Marie Cox, the saucy strawberry-blond editor of Wonkette, the popular political blog. The Washingtonienne, as she had named herself, quickly parlayed the miniature scandal into a more lucrative and appealing gig: media vixen-cum-novelist. In short, this was not the Profumo affair. Her various paramours were neither particularly high-powered nor publicly accountable. Though certainly explicit (no more so than the Starr Report), Cutler's anonymous Web log, now a mere vapor on the Internet, was as skimpy as her designer wardrobe, and probably siphoned about as much time from her dreary job opening constituent mail as an occasional game of computer solitaire. Swiftly thereafter, she was fired, the official reason being "unacceptable use of Senate computers." In retrospect, this seems a trifle harsh. RIGHT after cherry-blossom season last year, Jessica Cutler, a comely brunet underling employed by the office of Senator Mike DeWine, began writing a public online diary of her local sexcapades.
