Not sure if this really applies, but it is an amazing story about the Mayor of Spokane using internet chat rooms to meet young gay men and offer them gifts and services in exchange for sex, and the strategies the newspaper used to expose him.

If you don't know Spokane, it's an extremely right-wing community, and this guy, Jim West, rose in political ranks in part for his hard-line conservative views, specifically on gay issues. Just an interesting "expose" I guess and look into this strange tortured community of politicians that seems to be growing.
