As only the Mad DC Cabbie can explain:
“I guess the the hookers got their Johns, Fred got his fix and I made a few bucks, everyone is happy.”

We know you press secretaries out there have a lot to deal with. Angry reporters. Policy staffers who think they’re communicators. Aggressive colleagues. Passive aggressive committee staffers. Tickle fights. It’s a rough life. And if you stick around long enough, chances are your boss will be caught in asex scandal. When that happens, the last thing you want to be doing is writing a statement (you’ll be more interested in making sure your resume doesn’t scream “I work for a deviant”…trust us).

staffer through one of his coworkers, who she also dated for a brief
stint, so she thought nothing of it…
