I’m never quite sure what to think of this story, whether to be sad, amused, or confused. Needless to say, Wonkette posted this today, and I’m definitely a little put off by it.
And excerpt from Ms. Cutler’s email is as follows:

To: WonketteImagine if you dropped your diary on the sidewalk somewhere, and the next thing you know, it’s national news.
WTF.
Except for the fact that you didn’t “drop your diary” - you may as well have made photocopies and put them on the chairs of everyone coming to the lecture hall, briefing room, and newspaper stand - your statement is valid, Ms. Cutler. It is national news because you wrote it in plain sight - irrelevant of if we knew who you were or not, it would have been big - even if Keith Olbermann hadn’t fit it into his “Countdown”.
