He clearly got his jollies off from doing this. But I am just questioning if the underlying issue behind that was his need to maintain the lie he lived as "America's Family Man". If so, it's sad that so many women suffered when all he had to do was "take the free candy" and not be embarrassed about the sweet tooth. Yes, another horrible analogy but I seem to be full of them today.
