Remember Jessica "Washingtonienne" Cutler - you know, the one with whom our sister site Wonkette was so infatuated all those months ago? Her much-trumpeted Playboy shoot finally hit the interwebnet today, accompanied by an interview in which the former DC staffer comes out as a registered Republican, hawks her upcoming novel, and refuses to name the high-level Bush appointee she wrote about under a pseudonym. Assuming anyone's still interested, we'll keep an eye out for non-censored versions of the pics as well.

Update We'd hate to run afoul of Playboy's legal team by reproducing the entire photoset here - but surely they won't begrudge us sharing just one sneak peek, given that without Wonkette they might never have had a subject to photograph in the first place?

Thanks, Justin! (TND's posted a Playboy-sanctioned lo-res preview photo from the shoot as well.)

And in case you've forgotten already (God knows we've tried to), here's an archived version of the blog that started l'affaire Washingtonienne.
