It's kismet! Last Thursday, Jessica Cutler, who was famously fired from her Capitol Hill job for blogging about her affairs with married government employees, filed for bankruptcy. Three days later, porn baron Larry Flynt offered a $1 million bounty to anyone who could provide proof that she (or he) had had "improper relations" with a senator, congressman, or other high-ranking government official.

Problem solved, Ms. Cutler? "I've thought about it," admits Washington's most famous other woman since Monica Lewinsky. "It seems pretty serendipitous."

Amid much giggling, however, Cutler says she's not about to cash in on her sexploits (again, that is—she's already written a book.) "It's the sort of thing where I don't know if we should encourage people to tattle on each other. It seems kind of crappy to me." That might seem disingenuous, seeing as Cutler's online diary contained details of her trysts with Robert Steinbuch, a former aide to ex-Sen. Mike DeWine. But Cutler only ever identified Steinbuch by his initials; others connected the dots. "I've never named names, so to speak," she says.

Anyway, with Steinbuch now trying to sue her for $20 million, coming into a sudden pile of money "would not be too good for me," she acknowledges. (Cutler's bankruptcy filing has put a halt to Steinbuch's claim.)

And even if that weren't the case, Cutler, who now lives in New York, insists the men she cheated with may not be in positions of power anymore as far as she knows. "There was an election recently, and there was a lot of turnover. I don't know where any of my guys are now."

"In a way, it would kind of suck to be a congressman now," she muses. "You can't get away with anything. What's the point of being a congressman if you can't have affairs?"
