She was obviously providing a much needed community service!

No Secret Service names have yet surfaced, right?  Time will tell . . . . . . . .

I'll bet that she never thought her name would be associated with General David Petraeus or  Dominique Strauss-Kahn, but here I go. It may be time to decouple the notion that there is something always unsavory about sex and especially to decouple it from political and business activities.  Sex is about as basic to human nature as food and sleep.  All kinds of adjectives are applied to it; good, bad, healthy, unhealthy, warm, hard, and on and on.  Here we have a story almost expressing astonishment that a lovely young woman, good mother, charitable, smart, a good friend and neighbor could also...what?  Engage in sexual activities "outside the law."  Maybe it's time to look at changing the law.  Sex for money?  Who cares?  Sex is exchanged for a whole bunch things on an informal basis...and sometimes formally.  Once we've taken the step of decisively changing our views on homosexuality, I think we should continue down that slippery slope.  Why have we lost the talents, intelligence and experience of David Petraeus because of an extra-marital affair?  Maybe he should lose his wife, but his job? If Dominique Strauss-Kahn successfully persued a career while engaged in a "libertine" lifestyle, well...at what point does that become our business?  The answer to that question would be "rape."  THAT is our business.  The rest of it, I think, should be his wife's business, not the public's.  At least that is the kind of conversation we should have about this whole...business.
