Sins of the Son

Pork gourmet and Alaska Senator Ted Stevens is discovering how the sins of the son come to be visited on the father. Not that he likely doesn't have much else she should apologize for ... and not just that tubular explanation of how the internet works. But he seemed likely to get away with much of it until now.

Various references throughout the Bible discuss how far (four generations) the sins of the father will be visited on the son, but the assumption is that the child is somehow otherwise blameless. Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be much going the other way — with the son guilty and father blameless, that is.
