I think this is the reason our choices for major political offices suck. The good politicians, who can actually think for themselves, have done something in their past that others can jump on.
In the biography about Sandy Koufax, they insinuate that Sandy was the first to be scrutinized by the media. They could find nothing wrong with him, he wasn't outrageous like other ballplayers of his time (he didn't go out partying and carrying on), he wasn't great at interviews, he kept his private life private. So they dug up stuff about him (they found out his parents were divorced, and they tried to get hold of his real dad to find things out) and reported it.
