First, campaigning must be either free to all or publicly financed for exactly the same amount, or else, as Europeans learned long ago, the personal lives of these types of personalities must not be scrutized too closely.
The egotistical cannot and will not suffer deprivation for very long.
If you continue to want celebrities for your leaders, you must not get yourselves so worked up over their personal lives… If they can maintain a straight public life, that’s the most you can ever hope for.
Oh, I believe that the socially accepted norm that keeps sensational journelism in business is real… it merely seldom proves to be very realistic.
For years, movie makers fought for the right to make films that mirror real life. When’s the last time you remember watching a movie (not a legend-enhancing documentary) who’s hero lives the personal life of a puritan? Or even an exemplary one?
