WEB GAL MAKES D.C. POLS SQUIRM

May 25, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - If the war and the presidential election aren't generating enough headlines, Washington finally has the ultimate attention getter: a good, old-fashioned sex scandal. Thank Jessica Cutler.

Her Internet diary, which graphically recorded what she claims are steamy sexploits with powerful D.C. lawyers and Bush administration honchos, has exploded like a grenade in the nation's capital.

"They couldn't run me out of town. If they could I would already be gone," said Cutler, 24.

Not that they didn't try.

When staffers in the office of Mike DeWine, the conservative GOP senator from Ohio for whom she worked, were alerted to her "blog" (short for Weblog) - called the "Washingtonienne" - she was unceremoniously fired from her $25,000 job sorting mail.

But don't worry about her finances. She's entertaining offers to buy the rights to her tale - and she's also learning about fame, with top TV shows begging her to appear.

The Bush White House is notoriously straight-laced and Washington hasn't seen a juicy sex scandal since the days of Monica Lewinsky.

"I still don't get what all of this is about. If I was reading my own blog, I would feel my life was much more interesting," said Cutler yesterday.

She said her blog began earlier this spring when she sought to keep friends updated on her busy social life. These included descriptions of rich older men giving her money for sexual favors.

"None of these people were geriatric or unattractive. And the money was just a gift," said Cutler, who claims a powerful married man with a senior job in the Bush administration frequently gave her $400 after sex at a hotel.

She also says she had sex with an older, divorced lawyer from Georgetown whom she met while working as an intern in the office of Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.). The lawyer also gave her money, she said.

She hasn't identified the men she says participated in the fun and games - or offered any proof that she wasn't writing fiction.

But her last postings were awaited as eagerly as the latest political polls.

Her escapades burst into the spotlight after online columnist Wonkette linked her column to the blog, which has now been pulled down.

She's a confessed prostitute and nothing but. "It was a gift".

She's a fox. Although for obvious reasons (health or morality, take your pick) I wouldn't touch her with a ten foot, um, pole.

I read that one of the guys gave her a $400 "gift".

As I said on another thread, I would need a $400 bar tab to go home with this wretch!

UGH!

[MississippiMan]

Seems to me that her blog is the equivalent of a written confession to prostitution. Why is this angle never being mentioned?

These guys are actually Brooklynites-okay, one of the coauthors lives in Austin-who are freelance journalists. This was the only book they've written that I've actually purchased, but they might have written others.

Here's another pointed jab at their fellow slack-jaws:

It's sad to say, but looking at "GenEcch" through the pop culture that formed them, as well as the books, movies and music the generation has produced itself, seems to validate conservative old fart Allan Bloom's bellyaching about the accelerating vapidity of post-TV youth and their complete lack of depth, smarts, feeling or history. (The late Dr. Bloom was also correct when he said that rock n'roll moves to the beat of sexual intercourse, but that's another story.) If a modern-day Allen Ginsberg were to write a "Howl" for the age of Ecch, the minute he saw the best minds of the generation he'd drop the poesy and go back to the "schmatte" business. The Beat Generation went out looking for America; we're sitting at home chatting about it.

In the post-atomic years, after Kerouac and Elvis, the moral and intellectual fiber of American society really did begin to crumble. Now the members of "Generation Ecch" sit among the rubble, fiddling with the remote control, the only way they know to effect change.

The Making of Ecch; or, Baby Boom Bye-Bye.

Introduction to "Generation Ecch."

Yeah, she definitely makes for more interesting reading than Lloyd Grove, or even those stupid, brief anecdotes John Tierney collects for The New York Times.

I actually happen to think that he's the best writer for that wretched paper; but that lame, "Inside the Beltway" imitation he does for them sucks some major ass!

Hey there, Saber.

I'm quite certain that many would find this young woman attractive. I'm just not one of them.

She just looks old before her time -- cold, calculating eyes and just a bit on the rough side. I don't see anything remotely warm about her.

This whole story once would have angered me. Now it just makes me terribly sad. It is the story of yet another woman who believes that happiness, security and equality can be found hopping from bed to bed. More bunk sold to an entire generation of young women by feminists more interested in perpetuating their abortion industry than really empowering women.

It is just absolutely tragic to me -- there is an awful lot of hurt behind those eyes. When will women learn that the real power lies in saying "no" and remaining a lady?

Physically, she's quite attractive, but her history and values would make her untouchable.

Agreed on all of the above.

My gut hunch is that in some way her father failed her, and failed to demonstrate a worthwhile example to his daughter of the kind of man whose companionship she should seek.

and frankly, who wants to remember? ;o)

I do. I traveled to DC to attend the March for Justice, the Rally on the Steps, and the House Managers' Dinner.

We must NEVER forget what clintbilly did to this country. We MUST fight against sinator hillary! and her ilk.
