Some friends and I were talking about this in the bar a few weeks ago. For anyone born in this day and age, is there anyone without something slightly embarrassing about them on the internet? I mean, how soon is it that we'll have a sex tape President and it won't really matter? I could see it happening in my lifetime. I mean, to an extent I don't care, but I still think John Edwards is a douchebag for what he did even though that doesn't necessarily relate directly to politics.

Good point about the age of the internet and politics. All skeletons will be public knowledge eventually. I smoked pot in college. If I wanted to run for office one day, I'd hate for that to be the reason I lost an election, but then again Pres. Obama already broke that glass ceiling by admitting he even did cocaine.
We are quickly becoming a very permissive society, for good and ill.
