Politicans, their families and the media

Amazing the way when a politican is caught cheating on their partner or with bags loads of cash that their colleagues round on the media for intruding on their "private life", yet there has been no complaints about the "intrusion" on Ahern's family over the last few days.

A member of Westlife and his wife had children. It would be in the news anyway, nothing to do with the Grandparents.

There's plenty of articles and photos that lead with the "Bertie the Grandad" line.
