This must be so embarrassingly uncomfortable, especially having it front-and-center in a government debate, whether your names are withheld or NOT.

THAT WOULD JUST SUCK!!!!!!

I was hoping to find some pictures of the happy couple, but alas no luck...

If they we're smart, they would have kept their mouths shut, sterilized one or both to avoid any potential damaged offspring, and went about their lives.

The details are missing but I get the impression that someone else knew and told them. Keeping it a secret may not have been an option. Kinda sad really.

As long as they we're healthy, can't see it being _that_ bad.

Thats the thing though. When two closely related individuals have offspring, a lot of recessive traits can be brought out.
