You don't screw someone half your age who is working for you in a very junior role. Simple enough. And anyone who does so, whether he's a head teacher, or an office manager, or an editor, or a president, deserves to get booted out on his ear.

Just because the guys a presentable enough politucian who can make a good speech, and his politics are preferable to the guys opposite in many ways, that doesn't alter matters. Except it does - and when there's a similar scandal from the other party, you can bet that pretty well everyone on both sides will stand on their heads and argue the other way round.

It's all very similar to what was to be observed over the Presidential vote. Partisanship, not principle.
