My initial reaction does seem unjustified.

I find it hard to understand where the bar is for acceptable behavior from a public official, of any capacity.

A friend of mine would like to run for school board/ city council. I've been trying to explain to him that I support him and he needs to be aware that the criteria for having a public figure castigated is not the fact of any kind if impropriety, but the appearance.
