No, but remember this one? (From the Washington Post)


                  Barney Frank and the Male Prostitute � 1989 

                  The era of sour feelings on Capitol Hill
                  continued after House Speaker James. C.
                  Wright's resignation and the smear campaign
                  against his successor, Thomas S. Foley. In a
                  third blockbuster scandal, Massachusetts
                  Democratic Rep. Barney Frank admitted a lengthy
relationship
                  with a male hooker who ran a bisexual prostitution
service out of
                  Frank's apartment. 

                  The story was broken by the conservative Washington
Times
                  newspaper, which trumpeted every juicy morsel with
front-page
                  hype. Though Frank was apparently ignorant of some of
the
                  prostitute's activities, his indiscretion was so great
that his
                  standing in Congress was greatly damaged and a House
                  reprimand passed overwhelmingly in July 1990. His home
district
                  in Massachusetts was more forgiving, reelecting him
easily the
                  following November.
