Interesting tidpits:

The revelation that women were banned from the Senate swimming pool, because the male Senators liked to skinny dip (gross)

The lurid tales of adultery and drunkenness when the Senate was a boy's clubs.

Congress is such a horrible institution.  I'm not surprised that they decided to add sexism to the mix as well.
