I remember during the craziness of the Bill Clinton impeachment. One of the Congressmen leading the impeachment cause was Henry Hyde of Illinois. When it came to light that he might have not been completely faithful to his spouse many years ago, Hyde made reference to "youthful indiscretions".
A few minutes ago, I heard an early report that the teenage daughter of Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant. She intends to have the baby and marry the father. While I doubt this will be the case, I hope that the press will leave her alone. It has to be difficult just dealing with the issues related to being a teenage mother-to-be, let alone deal with those issues in a public fishbowl. If there is anything to be publicly questioned, it is the vetting process that the McCain campaign went through prior to picking Governor Palin as a running mate.
Yes, Bristol Palin may have done something that she now regrets. Haven't we all? That doesn't mean that she is a bad person or that her life is now ruined. Hopefully, she and her family will have the chance to work through the situation with some level of privacy.
