one bad apple spoils the whole bunch, right? all Presidents are bad then, right?

If the actions of one taint the whole, then what happens to our standard?

The standard could go up and become more strict, say like guns laws, potentially. Or go down as we become more desensitized to inappropriate behavior…

… are all Presidents bad because Bill Clinton, a husband, father to a young daughter, and President of the United States, had sexual relations with a college intern?

Is every Dad who involves his child in Boy Scouts bad because of controversial Scouting practices? Is every Priest bad because of the actions of a few misguided Priests? Is every woman bad because a few have cheated on their husbands?
