Take the case of Uruguayan interior minister Daisy Tourne who created her own Facebook page with images, messages, and the like. One of the photos she posted was of her with the caption “nothing is more authentic than a wet woman (in the shower).” The reportedly private image is not erotic and it appears more goofy than perverse.
Cue shitstorm in 3…2…1…:
Rather than posting critical messages on her Facebook "wall" or "poking" of the minister, opposition leaders went old-media with their criticism.Tourne replied in a Facebook post admitting that she “cried out of anger” yet emerged stronger since “years ago I’ve received worse blows and insults.”
"I think it's in very bad taste that the minister exposes herself so intimately," former Vice President Luis Hierro Lopez told El Pais. "Ministers have to be more austere, modest — above all the Minister of the Interior," who commands the police force.
The brouhaha over Tourne’s photo is overblown and seems sexist. Though it serves as a valuable lesson for politicians: watch your (bare)back even if it’s unseen.

I am sorry but I could not help but laugh at this picture! I just think this is perfect - politicians and facebook, not to mention the "hot water"!
