Forget Monica Lewinsky and Rielle Hunter. Heck, Forget Stormy Daniels! In the 1970s, a prominent persnickety senator, one Wilbur Mills, was pulled over drunk with a notorious stripper who then bolted from the car and dove into the Tidal Basin! He continued to see the lady, Fanne Foxe - and later gave a PRESS CONFERENCE from a strip club with her at his side. Oh MY!!!
He was a Congressman NOT a Senator.

I remember in my youth being confused by Fanne Foxe vs Fannie Flagg.

That was the first big sexual political scandal in this boomer's memory. Previously the media turned a blind eye to indiscretions. Mills chaired the Ways and Means Committee. The coverage didn't exactly open the floodgates, but it did open the tap.

But she wasn’t some kid, she was an adult. Sleazy maybe, but not exactly coercion.

Her tell-all book had 16 pages of photos. If book clubs picked stuff like this I might actually join one.
