As anyone who's&nbsp;worked a customer-facing job will tell you, dealing with the public can be&nbsp;brutal.

Politics

Because of the internet&#39;s existence, nobody is safe and nothing is sacred, so here are the 16 daughters of notable politicians who have brought the drama. Some are fairly innocent, while others have good reason for being so controversial. To be fair, children of politicians can oftentimes find themselves in the limelight just as often as their parents when when they stray from being the perfect child. Paparazzi, news reporters, and entertainment TV love to jump at any chance they get to dog on these kids. Nevertheless, some of these politician&#39;s daughters were certainly up to no good, as you&#39;ll see from some of the stories below.&nbsp;

People are always searching for pics of Jenna Bush nude or Jenna Bush naked... that&#39;s just one example. When it comes to politics, everybody is fair game!
