I think the man's a wretch anyway, if he felt this stuff so deplorable why not resign at the time? Why wait until he's been sacked to be spiteful and get some petty revenge.

There's no doubt that a lot of people will agree with you - for various reasons ranging from piety (nothing wrong with that) through hypocrisy to politics.
