Yes, it's news and Yes, it is unfortunate that it distracts the nation from immediate concerns. Before we ask, "who knew what and when did he/she know it" we have to find out what there is to know. This is why this affair is not (yet) similar to Lewisnksi or Watergate. Of course the major parties must testify promptly regarding the resignation and Bengazi. As far as I can see, any connections are entirely supposition at this point. All this must happen quickly so that the nation can move on to other matters.

Wow! What blinding insight. I’m in awe of your perspicacity. Tell me, how many hours did it take you to figure that out?
(And which “head” did you use?)
That still doesn’t answer the question, by the way. How many supposedly intelligent men have utterly destroyed themselves simply because they can’t keep their putz in their pants? And why?
You might as well give the same useless “answer” if I had asked: Why do so many men commit murder? Telling me how different (and obviously superior) I am doesn’t tell us anything!
(That’s morally superior, of course.)

You seem to have answered your own question. It's your clear, obvious, and unquestioned "moral superiority" that is the difference. One might summarize by saying, "Because people are different and not everybody is like you".
Get it? When you have to explain sarcasm, it just doesn't have the same oomph.

Who’s sarcasm are you referring to, yours or mine?
I quite understood the sarcasm you intended. (Anyone above the 8th grade probably could.) And with all due respect (or lack thereof) the same could be said of mine.
So, what does that say about your expressed need to explain either?
