When you elect to run for public office, you have to be willing to allow you life to be investigated. Theoretically, politicians should be at least honest and ethical - and how can this be determined without a review of their private life?
Should their family members and close friends be subjected to the attention the present media generates? No. But the act of running for public office is going to bring attention.
No politician ever won election by claiming, 'I'm a crook', so in seeking office they have to be willing to continually demonstrate that they are not a crook or crooked.

I dont believe they have a right to a private life as a politician they are a public personality like someone in the entertainment industry or in proffesional sports they are being paid by the people they get all their money power and status due to public popularity and would be blind to not know this before they get involved if you want a private life dont project yourself into the public mainstream

Until the politicians get out of our private lives they certainly don't deserve one for themselves!

They have a private life!
Didn't Bush just get back from his fort in texas where he has been for 6 months!
They know what the job entails and they want the power. No sympathy from me!
