[edit] Excerpt from writings
Once the life of a D.C. intern was no more intriguing to outsiders than a summer as a camp counselor or life guard. But this town's junior staffers now have earned notoriety. First, there was Monica [Lewinsky], the rubenesque White House vixen who nearly brought down a president through her thong-snapping seduction. Chandra [Levy] was the next intern to captivate the country. Her affair with a congressman was unearthed during the investigation into her murder, which remains unsolved. Low-level Senate aid Jessica Cutler reinforced the sexually charged stereotype when her Internet blog detailing her sexual escapades became public. She lost her job, but leveraged her "fame" into a lucrative book deal. (http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/lukas200507180808.asp National Review Online, July 18, 2005)
