I don't care if he commits adultery, that's his private decision, private life and to think otherwise is not libertarian. But the other stuff the IMF is doing should get them hung.

Is there an adultery prohibition clause in the IMF Director's oath of office? :D

Distinctions between "private life"/"public life" are bogus BS, just fabricated to excuse crappy and unacceptable human behavior.<IMHO>

How on earth does something like an extra-marital affair impact job performance? I am sure there are a lot better reasons to can the guy outside of who he has slept with. If we are to start allowing lapses in moral judgement to impact our job security than all of us are going to be out of a job!

It shouldn't be considered adultery if you're a male.

Ask John Edwards, if you can find him.

Bill Clinton's sexual peccadillos cost us however much grand juries and investigations and impeachment hearings cost...not to mention HE facilitate OUR trivializing our presidency, and thereby making ALL of us laughing stocks. Was his performance impacted? Absolutely. Every hour that he was dealing with Monica-Gate, he wasn't working as a President.

Paul Wolfowitz's mistress was a foreign national...I want to say Lebanon...who received salary perks AND toppest level State Department clearance which, as far as I know, has still not been explained. That there sounds to me like one a them national security risks.




If we are to start allowing lapses in moral judgement to impact our job security than all of us are going to be out of a job!

Lying and cheating to get someone to sleep with you is different than lying and cheating to take their money... unless you were to sign some sort of sex contract before hand.. I don't know which kinds of contracts would be held up in court and which wouldn't, though..
