What One Conservative Woman Thinks of Washingtonienne
Michelle Malkin has a bone to pick with the subject of Washington's latest "what passes for a sex scandal". Yawn...yadayadayada...yawn....
You know, I never listened to my father's "I remember when I had to walk 10 miles through the snow, uphill both ways" spiel. Why would anyone do the same for Malkin and her self-righteous spewings?
Meet the new Monica Lewinsky. Jessica Cutler, a 24-year-old mailroom clerk and phone receptionist, worked for Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, until last Friday -- when he fired her for using Senate computers to post to an Internet Web log that chronicled her trysts with six different men in Washington. Cutler's partners reportedly included government officials who gave her money for her sexual services.
Diary excerpt: "I just took a long lunch with F and made a quick $400. When I returned to the office, I heard that my boss was asking about my whereabouts. Loser." In another entry, Cutler explains: "F(equals)Married man who pays me for sex. Chief of Staff at one of the gov agencies, appointed by Bush."
Cutler, who aspired to be a journalist, spouted: "I'm sure I am not the only one who makes money on the side this way: How can anybody live on $25K/year??" When I was 24 and making less than that, I did it by eating Spaghetti-O's, Ramen noodles and Swanson pot pies for dinner; driving a Toyota Tercel with no air conditioning; and sleeping on a $30 futon. I did it the way most parents teach their daughters to succeed: through hard work, thrift, faith and perseverance.
First of all, Cutler will hardly qualify as the next Monica Lewinsky. For one thing, Cutler worked for a Republican in Republican-dominated Washington. The only way Cutler would have any hope of becoming confused with Ms. Lewinsky would be she had been working for, and sleeping with, Democrats. THEN the dogs would howl and the blood would spill. Republicans protect their own after all, and besides, they might even be able to get a bit of the action themselves.
Second, no one cares how Ms. Malkin parlayed her way through her salad days. Perhaps she's just jealous she didn't think of the "I could do it on my back" plan first? Look, perhaps she wouldn't have made the choices that Cutler did, but that hardly gives her the right to pass judgement. We each have to make our own way- and really, who got hurt here? And since when is Capitol Hill the Shining Beacon Of Moral Clarity And Righteousness? If memory serves, someone is always getting f****d on Capitol Hill, whether literally or figuratively.
As for me, I'd just like to know how she manages to keep six randy men happy. The poor girl has GOT to be exhausted....
