Donsadvisor. Yes abjectly and seemingly, most American citizen's remain apathetic to their president's private life, but that's where they are wrong. He represents them with his private life as well.
We can all agree on what's illegal: i.e. cocaine, drunk driving, stock fraud.
But morality is grey. Some people think it's ALWAYS wrong to kill, hence they're against capital punishment or can't join the army.
Suppose it comes to light that Bush is getting blowjobs from an intern? How much would it hurt him politically? My guess is somewhat, but not a big sudden drop in approval.
