But I don't buy the argument that pols should be judged on their sexual behaviour
Why should a law against sexual harassment apply to me but not the President?
It applies to lower gov't levels. An Admiral or 2nd lieutenant could expect a court-martial for Clinton's behaviour.

There's a specific problem for most Presidents, too, at least these days. In the TV and sound-bite age especially, photogenic looks, charisma, charm, the ability to appeal, ambition, drive... all the characteristics that would be common in successful womanisers, and likely to go along with a high sex drive...
That argument might pass, except that Clinton's predecessor and successor don't display this problem.
