They didn't flaunt it in public either, because they knew that their subjects wouldn't approve.

Nowadays we're better equiped to scrutinize our politicians, and our standards have gotten higher besides.

Personally I used to think that a politician's private life is just that, private. I don't think that newspapers ought to sift through their laundry to find out every detail, but if it comes out - so be it. Don't tell me you wouldn't think less of somebody in your own life if you happen to find out that he's cheating on his dying wife.
