You can certainly do one and not the other but yeahhhhhh the edgy jokes types don't seem to handle their personal lives with much more, shall we say grace.
Eh, people regularly get fired for way less than whacking it in the bathroom and accidentally sending the video to coworkers. Besides I'm of the opinion that the mayor should be held to higher standards not lower ones.
You can argue that it doesn't make it clear enough that it appears to have been an accident but that summarizes the story pretty well unless you're trying to be a truther about a mayor of a place that barely crosses the border into 'city'.
Next guy to suggest a celebrity president gets put in front of a sandblaster until they say sorry.
