No, but it would look bad on you if you are ardently anti-mj.

And in Congress.

Unless the Congressman is somehow implicated in the smuggling, what his adult son does isn't really a reflection on him.

Happens all the time.

Kids do what they want, often in direct defiance of their parents.

I agree, non-issue IMO, let's just see if certain people who lambasted Palin over her daughters pregnancy will use that same vitriol against Boyd.

Not equivalent. Bristol was a 16 year old girl living in her parents' house. This is far different than blaming someone for the sins of their adult son or daughter.
Let me get this straight, are you saying that because Bristol was living with her folks, that she had no independent life?
