I really think it was the same thought that took over when selecting Palin. A lot of information that would knock other selections out of consideration but her instant charisma trumped everything.
So a person has to be free of all sin to stand up for family values?

To be taken as a credible leader given the yardstick the new conservatives want to use to measure others, that would be yes.

GRR,
I agree to some extent but disagree a bit as well. If this tape (or tapes/pics, whatever) was made years ago pre-beginning a journey of seeking a holier life, then I would say "sin free" is not so necessary. However, I look at Newt Gingrich, who is extremely articulate and has a way of communicating, has given up his opportunity to speak for a religiously conservative group. Even if he truly has changed, his past, repeated actions have disqualified him in my eyes.
For me, the bigger issue is, why would a conservative group look to someone who shows off their body as a way to make a living, even consider this person as a spokesperson in the first place? Even without the tapes, the whole "beauty pageant" thing is the direct opposite that a religous conservative would profess and support.

Heaph, you and I agree. For whatever reasons, too many political groups and special interest groups still underestimate the collective memory of our internet connected society. Too many are too anxious to bypass what they see as a chance at the spotlight right now.

It took years for nude photos of Marilyn Monroe saw the light of day. Back in the 50's-60's and even 70's a powerful outfit like movie studios or a pageant company had the muscle and means to keep things like that quiet. Now all it takes is a laptop to seek out the rumored photographer or videographer to verify and its all done.

She was on the cover and topless in the first issue of Playboy in 1953.

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE HERE - I missed this the first time around. Issue number or Month/Year would be acceptable.

Obviously the less famous of the two consenting adults likely leaked the video for monetary reasons and it's horrible PR for the more famous of the two but what's the big deal? We all have sex, though by the posting frequency and furvor of some of the posters in here...some a lot more than others.

Our society is WAY too hung up on sex.
I agree that our society is way too hung up on sex. You know why? Because of people like those who have been puppetmastering Carrie Prejean to further their political agenda - the "family values" crowd.

I just don't see what one subject has to do with the other?

So she stands up for her thoughts on gay marriage....

So she is freaky in bed....what the **** is wrong with that?

Big deal.

Oh THAT's why huh?

They've been puppetmastering her (to steal your word) because she's an attractive and articulate girl who they felt was wronged for simply holding a staunchly conservative view (ie. marriage should be btwn a man and a woman).

Why you think that encourages people to be hung up on sex...I haven't a clue.

I wasn't talking about the 1953 shoot Playboy published. There were far less "artistic" photos and movies that were never shown until decades after her death.

If Enrico even told us what year his wife was in Playboy it would take someone less than 24 hours to find out with the right questions to the right people.

It all goes back to people taking the opportunity to get in front of the camera speaking out on morality thinking their past won't catch up with them. Your past's importance goes up exponentially when you become a "public person".

apparently they only need to hate gays; that trumped nude photos. We'll see if that trumps pleasuring yourself on video (and if it's too racy for TMZ to show, dammit, I want to see it, homophope or not!). It would have been awesome if it were a girl/girl!

If they're supposedly opposing gay marriage on moral/religious grounds, pretty much everything. How is that not hypocritical?

What ever was on the tape was enough to make her stop legal action.
