Most of the discussion here has been about Snowden not the leaks, and THAT is the bullshit. This picture, or not talking to neighbors, is no different than him not graduating high school or other attacks on his credentials. It's all an attempt to distract from the actual issues of the leaks. It's from the same old playbook. The only people that should be embarrassed about anything are the people attacking him in order to distract from the issues of the leaks. Why are they trying to create a distraction? Because it is IMPOSSIBLE as a progressive to defend the massive spying operation of the NSA. They know it is wrong to be arguing for the Patriot Act and NSA with Ari Fleischer, Karl Rove, and Lindsey Graham. They will never be able to get the egg of their face after this.
