it is wrong. I live by that standard myself. I've been approached and offered sex by employees of mine plenty of times and never once have I accepted. There are just something�s you don't do. I agree that him doing that opened the door on all sorts of questions. Hell the fact that he was stupid enough to make such a poor decision given the fact that his opponents had been trying to nail him on just such a case demonstrates where the guy had serious issues (actually I believe he was/is a certified sex-a-holic). When it became known that he did that he should have been in hot water, but my point was that just because he has an extramarital affair alone isn't totally damning. In other words if he was able to satisfy and keep a couple of hoochie momma's happy, then more power to him. Obviously that's a dangerous game, but the fact alone that he was having a mutually consensual sexual relationship in and of itself wasn't the end all be all. That taken with his lying about it was enough to warrant him being canned, but again just because he got his dick sucked, even by someone other than his wife, I don't see as some terrible crime. Stupid, inappropriate, rife with potential for harm (not just for the country, but consider his daughter), etc., but not criminal (unless of course it was criminal as in the case of sexual harassment). Just the fact that he was doing it put him in an ackward position to defend against sexual harassment allegations, but getting your dick sucked doesn't necessarily constitute sexual harassment.

Consider how most of our presidents had their little dalliances. JFK, FDR, Jefferson, etc. As long as you can keep it cool, it�s generally accepted. Clinton was the subject of rampant politicking. But then again Bush is too, that�s the way we play the game now days. The hypocrisy is a bit tiring though.
