Maybe I'm old fashioned, but if politicians don't want voters to contact them at home, they shouldn't contact voters at home.

Matthew 7:5

But the point is that Bonnen wasn't at home, if McNutt wanted to contact him then McNutt would have been in Austin. This wasn't an effort to contact Bonnen, at best it was a publicity stunt gone wrong and in politics publicity stunts backfire more often than not.

Uh, McNutt didn't do anything wrong.

Just because he didn't do anything wrong doesn't mean he was doing things right. Its kinda like the old saying "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

With that said, the way that the speaker, his associates, and the media are playing this is entirely wrong. I suspect that the speaker may find himself in a situation similar to Ma' Richards last term unless he makes some serious and heartfelt changes.
