If you do know it, and you are so indiscreet about it that you get caught, you are too stupid to do the job.

If you do it once, and are in the middle of convincing the public that it was a lapse, and then you do it again, AND you are indiscreet enough to get caught at it AGAIN, you are REALLY too stupid to do the job.

And he still doesn't get it that it is completely inappropriate. But his behavior is not about sex at all. It is about compulsion and acting upon it with no understanding of it's self destructive nature and of its consequences to his life. A man such as this who has so little understanding of himself and his behavior has no place in politics. He needs to spend years of therapy working on his own issues first.
