I can live up to not killing a girl while almost certainly driving drunk by driving into a river and then not alerting the authorities who didn't know about it until next morning when fishman noticed the car and alerted the police, and then using my fathers money and power to cover it up.
THIS is not a standard I find impossible to live up to.
I could forgive the drunk driving accident and death as unfortunate and irresponsible, but not the rest.
I agree we hold our politicians on too high a standard these days but not this one. He was allowed to slide.
