This is why people hate Harvard students. Some ambitious Crimson columnist hears that Rudy Giuliani's daughter will be attending the school next fall, susses out the fake name she uses on Facebook, and gets the scoop that young Caroline is supporting Barack Obama for president. Good show, Lucy Morrow Caldwell. It's never too soon to start hazing the freshmen.
Normally I'm all for anything that makes Rudy look like an ass, but c'mon, can't we let the candidates' minor children lead their own lives? The fact that she tried to disguise her identity and limit contacts, however lightly and tentatively, should be a clue that she's not fair game.
Besides, clearly the important issue here is not that Caroline Giuliani is supporting Obama, it's that she's looking for random play.
[Previously: "As I understand it, the kids today treat virtual hangouts much the way they treat all-campus parties. Yes, they are public venues, but they are supposed to be open to only a limited segment of the public, and, more importantly, everyone who shows up really ought to know that one's behavior in such venues can deviate from one's behavior in daily life and should not be held against one forever and ever."]
