  This isn't the 1950s. The conservative candidate in the last election is literally a serial philanderer. We're way past the point where the public at large is going to wring their hands about hum drum infidelity.

Jeff was using company money and contracts to keep his mistress happy. The pictures keep that in the spotlight. And despite the letter, does anyone think he isn’t spending a big chunk of time on this? Most Fortune 500 CEOs would be gone or forced into retirement.
