Jessica Cutler, a former congressional staff assistant fired in 2004 for "unacceptable use of Senate computers" after she posted her Capitol Hill sex memoirs on a blog, is making headlines yet again.
Cutler's not-so-secret sexual escapades with government officials, one of them described as a "married man who pays me for sex" who happens to be "chief of staff at one of the gov agencies, appointed by Bush," is now going to be made into an HBO series, entitled Washingtonienne, after her famed blog.
The HBO series is based on Cutler's life on the Hill, taking money from Washington power players for sex. Inspiration for the show stemmed from her highly controversial and publicized book, also entitled Washingtonienne. According to Variety, Sarah Jessica Parker is serving as the new series' executive producer. So expect Sex in the City set on Capitol Hill.
Cutler's nonchalant chronicles of her sexcapades have turned her $25,000 into a six-figure book deal, a Playboy photo spread, and now, a half-hour HBO comedy series.
But where did her motivations for transforming from a respectable hill staffer to a scandalous, um, entrepreneur, stem from?
In an interview with the Washington Post, Cutler blamed her meager $25,000 a year Congressional salary.
"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?"
Now 30, Cutler still writes a mundane blog now known as "Jessica Cutler Online." But she's no longer connected to the world of politics...that is until she decides to become a lobbyist and use her fame while advocating for higher salaries for Hill staffers. Wouldn't that be politics at its finest!
