This is the daily sex life of a Staff Assistant, (or "Staff Ass," as the men on Capitol Hill like to say). This is the entry-level job in each Senator's office.
There is nothing about politics on the Staff Assistant's blog. It's about sex. And why not. Sex is always a part of politics, even if politics is what defines those live politics. Even political people need a break and time out to party.
The politics-and-gossip blog Wonkette has all the gossip on the Belle de Hill. (An interview with the person who writes Wonkette is here.)
Washingtonienne says that "the blog is really about a bunch of nobodies fucking each other. I still can't believe people care. I mean, I thought it was pretty typical. Most people I know, that's a typical week." Washingtonienne, or rather Jessica Cutler who used to work for Republican Senator for Ohio Mike DeWine adds:
"Most of my living expenses are thankfully subsidized by a few generous older gentlemen. I'm sure I am not the only one who makes money on the side this way: how can anybody live on $25K/year?? If you investigated every Staff Ass on the Hill, I am sure you would find out some freaky shit. No way can anybody live on such a low salary. I am convinced that the Congressional offices are full of dealers and hos."
There is a sequel Washingtonienne blog: imitation fiction
