When it affects their ability to do their job


Blackmail, of course, is a problem. But that has more to do with hiding the behavior than the behavior itself.

When a politician's vices affect his decision making, that's a problem.

When a politician's vices cause subordinates (or rivals) to not respect him, that's a problem.

When a politician's vices cause the electorate to lose respect for him, that's typically the end of his career.
