When Jessica Cutler put her dirty secrets on the Web, she lost her job, signed a book deal, posed for Playboy -- and raised a ton of questions about where America is headed.

Cutler apparently first started her blog so that her girlfriends could keep her sexploits with six "boyfriends" straight. She described her affairs to her friends for laughs.

In addition to an unashamed promiscuity, Cutler, according to the Post, has also casually experimented with a wide range of illegal substances, is chronically unable to keep a job, and was "inaccurate" on her resume about such details as whether she had actually graduated from college.

The Post's interest in the story — apart from its obviously titilallating details about sex in corridors of power — seems to be based on the question: "Is this the new norm for young women today?" The Post suggests, citing Naomi Wolf, that sexual liberation and the push for equal rights have led to a commoditization of sex among young women that apes the worst of men's traditional attittudes.

The story also has a moral: don't write anything on your blog that you would not want your boss, your significant other, or your parents to read.
