I'm sure that there are few people who can even remember who Fanne Foxe is, or what she looked like.

And, if ya wanna be technical, since the Chair of Ways and Means holds the nation's purse strings, it could be argued that Wilbur Mills, at the time of his scandal, was at least as powerful as the POTUS, anyway!
The cover-up story was hilarious, too--no one believed it, particularly since Wilbur was a regular at the Silver Slipper, where The Argentine Firecracker worked...
