A politician's job and life are separate
An article published on the BBC website today discussed deputy Prime Minister John Prescott's affair with civil servant Tracy Temple. It reminded me of the Clinton scandle. And I feel the same way about both. I don't think that how a politician spends his or her time outside of the job should be discussed or critized at all. Their job in office is what matters. Yes, Bill had "sexual relations" with Monica, but the United States also had a surplus budget. You don't see that now, do you? All that matters is a person's ability to take care of the people of whom they are serving.

I think Bill's behavior actually hurt Hillary's chances at getting elected in the White House. Here she said that she wasn't the "Tammy Wynette" type to "Stand by her Man", and what does she do when the scandal rolls around? She stands by her man, and is made to look foolish because she has to dance around the fact that her husband fooled around. He wasn't thinking of anyone else other than himself at that time. The dumbass should have kept his pants up instead of messing around with little girls. Now his behavior is going to be brought up whenever Hillary chooses to run for office. The GOP will probably be thanking Bill whenever Hillary is defeated in the 2008 election. So no, I can't agree that a politician's life and job are separate. Once they are in office, then they are public figures. It comes with the territory, and if they don't want their lives to be made public, then they shouldn't run for office.
