. I could give a shit less about her past, especially since I don't live in MS. However, I really don't see this as a good message to send the youth of today basically stating that "If life hands you a raw deal, so what, there is always hope". Dr. Ben Carson's story about rising from a bad situation is a better way to send that message IMO.
What's next? Maybe a crack head running for mayor of DC? Oh wait, my mistake, BTDT. That was a
feel-good message too. We castrate athletes who take illegal steroids, or cry foul when a politician remarks he want's to cut funding to PBS, but being a reformed slut is just dandy? I just don't see how her running for public office is sending an appropriate message. Just one more mile down the rabbit hole we go.
