 Washington's Sexual Awakening
While waiting to deliver a live feed to his hometown TV station, Hoke had nodded to a fellow congressman and, motioning to the producer who had turned her back, said of her in a put-on, generically European accent, “She’s got ze beega breasts.” The camera was still rolling.
Hoke quickly became a figure of fun on Capitol Hill, and in 1996 he lost his bid for re-election and returned to Cleveland.
Hoke’s peccadilloes were hardly on a par with those of which Bill Clinton has been accused, but they illustrate a point about elected officials who are called to Washington and the culture they step into.

Martin Hoke, a loutish multi-millionaire, had been lucky to face seriously wounded opponents in his two previous races.
Hoke, as Kucinich was fond of saying, was a man who woke up one day on third base and thought he had hit a triple.
In fact, It was Hoke's campaign that degenerated into lies and smears as he saturated TV with ads slandering Kucinich's role as mayor and wildly charging that his health care proposals would bankrupt the country.

KWAME HOLMAN: Among the most notable casualties were ten-term Democrat Harold Volkmer from Missouri, three-term Democrat Bill Orton from Utah, three-term Republican Gary Franks from Connecticut, and two-term Ohio Republican Martin Hoke.
Still, it's clear House Republicans will return in January with their majority intact, though likely slimmed down to 227 seats to the Democrats' 207 and 1 independent.
That's a nine-seat swing in the Democrats' favor, less than they'd hoped for but an important shift, according to Democratic Congressional Campaign Chairman Martin Frost.
