I’m as opposed to the institution of First Gentleman as I am to that of the First Lady. I believe in the separation between the public and the private and don’t want politicians’ relatives to be forced upon my notice. It’s way too easy to use cute kids, attractive spouses, heroic parents and inspiring grandparents to distract us from what a politician is actually doing.
Of course, I understand that people’s appetite for who sleeps with whom is unquenchable and we are doomed to see the private colonize the public until it’s completely obliterated. But I don’t want any part of it. Which is why I didn’t watch Bill Clinton’s speech. And it’s just as well because it’s being discussed by everybody in terms of the most outlandish sexist stereotypes. It’s like everybody has gone dumb as a result of hearing the speech.

You are absolutely right without such separation how is it possible to avoid nepotism and other forms of corruption?
