It seems like an obvious satire but the story is true. At the center of it is a young woman with seriously-damaged circuitry as she is/was married but was nailing multiple heavyweights in the Ministry of Defense and was reputed to have 'extreme needs.' The girl was seriously getting around but so was the story and eventually it had to hit the tabloids. It did.
That's not a satire but it asks what could make it one. The story needs some attention as there hasn't been a sex scandal in British government like this since Christine Keeler and the Profumo Scandal in the early 60's. There are scandals sometimes in American politics but mostly they are of the Ewwwww variety as, man, who would want to do that. Wilbur Mills was cool since he got busted when he was drunk in a Washington fountain with a hooker. That was great style but it doesn't match the scope of the British scandals.
So that leaves the satire in what America will do to keep up the sex scandal race.
Hmm ...
There was a Cold War so how about a Hot One ... and I don't mean with nukes.
