Ah, it’s another of those wonderful only-in-the-Blogosphere stories…
This morning the illustrious Wonkette decided to link to another female-authored DC blog starting with the letter W, Washingtonienne. The anonymous blog contained the musings of a young woman working on Capital Hill, including her various sexual misadventures- at one point she acknowledges having simultaneous affairs going with six different men (including one she calls “Threesome Guy”), and also discusses having a sex-for-money arrangement with the Bush-appointed head of a major federal agency.
Problem was, the Washingtonienne apparently left a few too many clues (i.e., she works for a Midwestern senator, she graduated from Syracuse, there were already rumors about her, she slipped and called one boyfriend “Rob,” etc.), and the link from the much-read-on-the-Hill Wonkette most likely blew her cover within minutes. So now the speculation is that she was fired from her congressional job and the blog was deleted (yes, it’s been confirmed- and by the end of the day we’ll probably know which senator- I'll guffaw mightily if it's Norm Coleman).
I guess the lesson here is don’t talk about work on your blog. Especially not if you’re a Congressional staffer, a nymphomaniac, or both.
UPDATE: Wonkette has the whole blog, reprinted.
