Sadly, this tells me more about voter attitudes than anything else.

I still think insider trading, in that it can and often does hurt others, should be illegal and punished when caught.

Purchasing the services of a prostitute has no negative effect on anyone but the spurned spouse. If she can live with it, what concern or business is it of anyone else?

The sort of decisions the man makes in his job are what should be relevant to keeping that job. Why do y'all care so much about his private life?

I think the hypocrisy charge alone should be enough to terminate his political career. Anyone who claws their way to the top by cracking down by agressively and self-righteously insisting on unrealistic and unnecessary standards, and then gets caught with a high-priced hooker? Feel free to start again from the bottom, try not to leave an imprint in the pavement on your way down.

I agree with you entirely on the issue of his personal life, however. While his political career is rightly in tatters, the public has no business with his sex life, and should stop prying. Jail time for this kind of thing would be a ridiculous overreaction.
