Bill Bennett, the Dominatrix, and a Possible Hoax

Wonkette reports that the chap at the Calico Cat now says he thinks the whole "Bill Bennett was getting his jollies spanked by a Nevada dominatrix" story is just a hoax.

Maybe. May be not. His principle gripe is that the Domina was not more forthcoming with him and, having read his site, I'm not sure I would have told the guy much either. As one of the readers pointed out here (I'm paraphrasing), "he seems far more into whining."

If it's true, he would seem a poor choice to "out" the story and if it's a hoax, he also seems like an unsuitable choice. The parts of his Emails to this woman he reprinted sounded less like journalistic inquiry and more like "but the Enquirer pays a lot for tips!"
