I get it if someone in retail is fired for shoplifting at another store. But, should what happens in your personal life result in consequences by your employer? I have a hard time with this principle in general.
If someone had a DUI but was say.. a computer programmer... who didn't get jail time for it, should that person be fired?
I'm trying to understand when this is ok and when it isn't.

He's a public figure, he's under more scrutiny than an average Joe. I view it as similar to being a politician, you've chosen a career in the public light and with that comes a higher standard. Cross that line and the public will demand action.
