You know who’s handling the Washingtonienne scandal better than anyone else? Washingtonienne herself. Check out Wonkette’s interview with her. Best line?
“I was thinking, that I’m going to get another job in Washington, but it’s going to be fun, not something stupid like working on the Hill. Now I’m realizing I may have to go back to New York. In New York, they love this kind of thing. They’ll ask what happened at my last job, and I’ll say I was fired for a sex scandal!”
She also says that while she’s just out of a crappy, low-paying job, the appropriately-titled Chief of Staff who paid her sex to, er, chafe his staff is shitting bricks.
This is awesome for two reasons: one, I don’t have to reconcile naming names to people anymore because Washingtonienne sounds absolutely chill with everything.
Two–and this is always gravy for bloggers–I’m mentioned on both Ilovejennabush and the Drudge Retort. The latter says this whole ordeal is, “the kind of loosely sourced rumor mongering for which the Internet was invented.” Finally, my niche in the blogosphere!
Watch the Washington Post Sunday edition for an article about Washingtonienne with what she says is a much better picture.
Good night and have a great weekend, everyone.
