Did you mean to write eight hundred dollars? Or was that a typo? Anyway, I don't see what the big deal is. What is with the whole prostitution = scandal thing?! So he paid a woman for sex, big deal. You want something, you pay for it. What was a big deal (in my opinion) was that he cheated her. I hope that in the end she got her money.

Well, Abe Lincoln said: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”
I guess he knew what he was talking about.
