Ohio congressman outraged by anti-reform ad that shows his daughters


CINCINNATI (AP) - A freshman Ohio congressman says an ad showing his two young daughters went too far in the heated debate over health care.

A spokesman says southwest Ohio Democrat Steve Driehaus was outraged by an advertisement Wednesday in The Cincinnati Enquirer featuring a large photo of him with his daughters. The ad was paid for by the Committee to Rethink Reform, a Washington-based group opposed to the health care overhaul nearing a vote.

Committee spokeswoman Sarah Longwell says showing the children was a mistake and that the group will take out another ad to apologize.

The Enquirer ran its own full-page retraction and apology Thursday.

1. Why is a photo of him with his kids inappropriate?
I don't get it.

2. The children are NOT public figures. They have an absolute right to
privacy and to control the use of their images, I suspect.

3. Because there are crazy people out there who might target his kids...
to get at him.
