An update on the Washingtonienne.com ass-fucking blog that people posted about. The senator in question is apparently Ohio Senator Mike DeWine (R).

Yep. Nice quotes from Wonkette in
this article from an Ohio newspaper:
Quote:
Ana Marie Cox, who identifies herself as “the editor of Wonkette, a guide to DC politics and culture, sort of,” said she even is unsure of the validity of the blog.
"Some of the details seem suspicious. And I know that the content of the blog itself seems dubious to a lot of people: It's too scandalous to be true," she said. She added, however, it could be true because sexual scandal is nothing new to Washington.
"The other reason I'm inclined to believe her blog is basically factual, or at least no more fictional than anyone's diary, is that I'm not sure someone could create its tone of willful self-awareness out of thin air," she said.
"People are calling her the Paris Hilton of the Hill, but that's unfair and inaccurate," Cox said. "Washingtonienne can actually write . . . . A couple of editors have contacted me about being interested in her, and I have to say I think the appeal of this particular tell-all is that it wouldn't need a squadron of ghostwriters."
She added, "Really, one of the first things she should get with her six-figure book advance is some really good therapy."

Poor Senator. Call my cynical, but I'm afraid that this will push Sen. DeWine's nifty quotes about
Bush's dramatic pep rally with GOP congressmen right off the front page of the Plain Dealer.
