Tiptoeing around offended Rian (you look extra angry to me because those smilies are red )...
I find it odd how much attention politicians' wives get. It seems to be entirely a question of image, because surely the wives don't actually have any influence when their husbands are elected. Is this focus quite a new phenomenon, i.e. media-created? I don't know anyone who cares what Cherie Blair does unless she's being especially annoying... A British perspective from today's Telegraph: Quote:
