4. He doesn't try and pretend to be somebody else.

Although there was the 80s reprimand...But unlike many politicians, Barney owned up to it.

The Committee found no evidence that Frank had known of or been involved in the alleged illegal activity and dismissed all of Gobie's more scandalous claims; they recommended a reprimand for Frank using his congressional office to fix 33 of Gobie's parking tickets and for misstatements of fact in a memorandum relating to Gobie's criminal probation record.<27> The House voted 408�18 to reprimand Frank.<28><29> The attempts to censure and expel Frank were led by Republican Larry Craig, whom Frank later criticized for hypocrisy<30> after Craig's own arrest in 2007 for lewd conduct while soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom.<31><32><33> Frank won re-election that year with 66 percent of the vote, and has won by larger margins until the 2010 Mid-term elections when Frank only won by eleven points.<34>
