SOME politicians are very protective of their private lives. Others prefer to splash every detail in the hope of garnering some positive PR.

Personally, I’ve tried to find a middle way: although Carolyn is frequently pictured with me, we never allow pictures of our boys to be published anywhere and I don’t even refer to them by their real names on this blog. At the same time, this is a personal blog so inevitably some details of life at Casa Harris emerge from time to time.

But this is as blatant and as cynical an example of shameless politiking as I’ve ever seen. As Guido (hat-tip, by the way) rightly asks, I wonder if the blushing bride knew if the photographic memories of her happy day were going to be used for political propaganda?

No wonder the public hate politicians.
