Red-faced Family

With Caroline Giuliani backtracking on her alleged Facebook endorsement of Barack Obama over DOD, it is time to wonder whether in politics it is the father who embarrasses the child more often (and in this corner we have Presidents Clinton and Bush) or the child(ren) who more often embarrass the father (and here we have Al Gore III and President Bush — embarrassing his father — with daughters Barbara and Jenna). The votes aren't all counted, but given that its politicians, most of those who go to the polls probably pick the father.

** Politics proves itself a richness of father and child embarrassments. **
