My first objection is that politicians, even combative ones whom many people loathe, deserve a degree of privacy. (Yes, there are exceptions, for instance when their private behavior seems to have a direct bearing on their public duties). Much the way free speech rules protect everyone from preachers to haters, it doesn't matter what you think of Sarah Palin. If you believe in Hillary Clinton's right to privacy, then you also have to support it for the pit bull with lipstick.
