Senator undecided on firing aide over sex blog
Gannett News Service
May. 21, 2004 12:00 AM


WASHINGTON - Sen. Mike DeWine said Thursday that he has not decided whether to fire an aide who allegedly posted her exploits in an Internet diary, including accepting $400 from a married man for sex.

"We're in the process of completing a review," the Ohio Republican said. "It's a personnel matter."

DeWine said he expects to make a decision soon.

The entry-level assistant used the pseudonym "Washingtonienne" in a blog, or Web diary. The Web site has deleted many of the entries.

1. $400 from a married man for sex
That's prostitution yes??? That's illegal in Washinton D.C. and Ohio as far as I remember. Seems like an easy decision to me.

2. But it may be that she simply posted fiction on the website
Either way most offices would give her the boot. One of the biggest rules in congressional offices is that staff do not become the story.

I hate our senators.

Voin-of-a-vich annoys me.

DeW(h)ine annoys me more.
