SLIDESHOW: Most Rebellious Politician’s Kid?
Caroline Giuliani

Caroline Giuliani
Caroline Giuliani, shown with her mother, Donna Hanover, was just busted on a shoplifting charge. She must not have been paying attention when Rudy was lecturing the city about having "zero tolerance" toward crime.

Former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol
Bristol’s teen pregnancy didn’t seem to have a negative impact on Sarah’s VP run. But Mom couldn't have been too happy when she announced her second engagement to her baby's dad on the cover of Us Weekly.

Former President John F. Kennedy’s son, John, Jr.
JFK Jr. lived a nice, safe life, but his one big act of rebellion cost him, his wife, and sister-in-law their lives when he flew in low visibility.
-
Former President George W. Bush’s twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara
W.’s teenage daughters got into trouble for underage drinking, not unheard of for college students. But did the world’s most famous twins really think they could get away with using fake ID’s?
-
Former President Ronald Reagan’s son, Ron Jr.
Obviously not conservative, RRJ was a ballet dancer and hosted “SNL.” Still, he didn’t shame the family and come out as a liberal Democrat until after his father officially left the Oval Office.
-
Senator John McCain’s daughter, Meghan
She’s Republican like dad, but supports same-sex marriage and opposes the Arizona immigration law. In ’08 she thought Palin was “really chill"; later, she blasted her opinions on “The View.”
-
Former Vice President Al Gore’s son, Al III
Al III has been arrested twice. Both times he was pulled over and booked for pot possession (with a side of prescription drugs in ’07). But hey, at least he was driving a hybrid during arrest #2.
-
Vice President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley
Biden’s daughter was arrested in ‘02 for obstructing a police officer during a fight outside a bar. But that pales in comparison to the video of her allegedly snorting coke that surfaced in ‘09.
-
Senator John Kerry’s daughter, Alexandra
Kerry was 36 when she took a walk on the wild side in 2009. She was pulled over for an expired registration and briefly suspected of drunk driving, but she was found to be under the legal limit.

Governor David Paterson's son, David
David’s 15 so we won’t show his picture here, but that didn’t stop him from a brush with the law for playing dice with his pals and allegedly carrying what appeared to be a stolen credit card.
Former mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani was famous for having a "zero tolerance" policy toward crime. But now, his own daughter has been arrested for allegedly shoplifting items from a cosmetics store.
Caroline Giuliani, a 20-year-old Harvard student, was charged with one count of petty larceny after the incident at a Sephora on Wednesday, the New York Police Department said.
Caroline, Rudy's daughter with his ex-wife Donna Hanover, was arrested after security cameras caught her stuffing makeup into her jacket pocket, cops told The New York Post. Sources said she allegedly stole five items, worth about $100.
Rudy's relationship with his daughter has been less than friendly. When Giuliani was seeking the Republican nomination for president, Caroline's Facebook profile listed her as part of a group that supported Barack Obama's presidential bid.
Sarah Palin must know how Rudy is feeling right now. Not only did her teenage daughter Bristol become pregnant just before Sarah's vice presidential bid, she then got engaged to the baby's father, broke up with him, announced her second engagement to him on the cover of Us Weekly, then broke up with him again a few weeks later.

PUBLIC OPINION > Chris Christie Should Stay a Republican
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been at the center of media coverage for a while now. But more recently, the buzz has been about his proclaimed political party -- and whether or not he should change it.
Lockstep "elder respect" is a specious precept. Not all elders are respectable.
Age does not always confer wisdom any more than money can confer taste.
Some people are harder to respect than others. If an authority figure deserves respect or love, very often the intuition of the younger person will kick in and save them from saying or doing harmful or hurtful things that they might regret in retrospect.
Sometimes, though, a foolish action is just that.... foolish ... not a conscious decision.
It may affect, in concentric ripples, a wide variety of others of which the so-called "disrepectful teen" is not even aware. Sometimes, a positive outcome will ultimately surface, beginning with a foolish act of the moment.
Try NOT to jump to the conclusion that "it" is directed at a particular person.
Often, a perceived offense is a PERCEIVED offense.
Many adults seem to get a rush from thinking that they are important enough to "rebel" against. They like to play power struggle games instead of really communicating. Perhaps that is what their parents or teachers did with them when they were young.
If a minor does something because he/she is out of control, it is probably rooted in desperation and not premeditated "rebellion". I doubt most kids are organise...

If a minor does something because he/she is out of control, it is probably rooted in desperation and not premeditated "rebellion". I doubt most kids are organised enough to consciously "rebel". Usually, they are just on auto-pilot modelling the thoughtless behaviour of adults or peers around them.
The media pushes THIS idea:
if you're a teen be a little hard to read... a little tough.
Despite their desire to be "different" most teens are pretty imitative or derivative.
And many are lonely enough to want attention through rather drastic practices.
Teens are as lovable and as complex and troubling as any other age group.
The only thing is that these kids have poor timing and/or the unfortunate circumstance of finding themselves in the spotlight.
