My father in law puts it best;

You are a passenger on an airliner that has lost an engine. You are going down.
Do you care that the pilot kicked his dog last night?
Do you care that the pilot is married yet has a woman in every port?

Or do you want the best damned jet pilot sitting at the controls of your plane?

How about this:

You are a passenger on an Italian Cruise ship. Do you want a captain with a record of personal appetites that distract him from steering the ship?

I would care if he were like the Ship Captain of the Carnival Cruise that sank off the coast of Italy.

In other words, i would care if the jet pilot has the character to CARE for his passengers instead of holding his own parachute.

Extending that logic implies that Bill Clinton’s Yale law degree trumps the fact that he’s a slimball.

Mr. Roberts, that wacky feeling isn’t anger, it’s called cognitive dissonance.
