Bullshit. If the person that's supposed to be busy running the state is instead in court everyday fighting a messy divorce, plus dodging reporters, plus spending his weekends banging hookers, etc. it directly takes away from his ability to do the job he was elected to. Never mind the side effect in job performance if the guy is perpetually pissed off by his personal problems.
So sure, an official's private life shouldn't impact his/her ability to do their job and should therefore remain private; but when their private life does impact their job, it certainly becomes the public's business.
Answer me this: if the president was a coke addict, shouldn't that be important public information?
