On topic, I do have to wonder how long ago a stupid decision has to have been made for it to no longer have the ability to destroy your life?  Not commenting on this specific example, but seriously.  Joe Reed gets a pass for making blatantly homophobic comments around ten years ago.  Understood that she's not an elected official but the concept is the same.

Tulsi is getting a pass for her past statements from her supporters because of her current stance, but I think the kickers is the fact that we all knew about it a decade ago. If this had come out a decade ago, we'd be over it.

Since we just found out, we're in a period of reacting to it where we are not sure if we think (we just being the public) he should be in office or that we would have elected him in the first place. 

But, yea, standards need to be applied across the board.
