Such scandals are not new or unique. It happens in many places to many high office holders too. Even Bill Clinton, then President of the US, fell for women. Headline news splashed about it all over the place.
So how are we going to prevent sex scandals from occurring in high offices? If one were to argue that high pay is to prevent corruption, can we by the same argument say providing women (or men, if the office holder is a woman or a gay) to high office holders would prevent sex scandals outside office?
Huh? Do I hear my critics moan? You think that's absurd? But you bought the idea that high pay prevents corruption, didn't you?
On the other hand, if you don't buy the argument that providing women (or men) to high office holders would stop them from being scandalous outside office, what makes you think paying them filthy high wages would stop them from being corrupted, if they already not are closet corrupts?
