He is better at his job than those other good people and he just happens to make damn good money. If i can do a better job than person b then why should i not get the job. The whole role model thing is not his choice, that is the problem of stupid people who idolize public figures only because they are public figures. My parents always taught me that the people you should really consider role models are those who bust ass to provide what they can for their family. He always did act proper while at work it was what he did in his personal life that was messed up, some times i do stupid things on my personal time (granted not illegal things) and my employer doesnt give a shit.
