Senate aide fired over sex blog

Sen. Mike DeWine fired a low-level staffer Friday after an Internet diary of her sexual exploits - including stories about taking money for sex from government officials - became the buzz of the Washington Beltway.

The aide, identified only by the name of her Web log - "Washingtonienne" - had been using Senate computers to post the diary, the Ohio Republican's office said.

...

The episode - which has gotten coverage nationally - has illustrated the ability of the Internet to hype a political scandal, however small.

Washingtonienne's Web log received little notice until several other gossip blogs advanced the story Wednesday with speculation about her identity.
