Mr. Roberts is not a staff member and only receives the same benefits as other spouses, including a House email address.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was of the understanding that this was a "boyfriend" not a "spouse".

Do the boyfriends and girlfriends (or other-friends) of other House members get those same benefits as well? How about friends-with-benefits? How about casual acquaintances? How about strangers off the streets?

Barney Frank managed it quite well.
