Once again the wife of a politician has been publicly humiliated by her husband. Watching Huma Abedin, Slida Wall Spitzer and Hillary Rodham Clinton beside their husbands has taught me one thing: Feminism means standing by your man. And so without malice or forethought and wishing to aid in the dissemination of knowledge I now present the Official Professional Political Wife Scandal Template™.
Your husband has been caught
- Having sex with another woman
- Having sex with another man
- Having sex with a transsexual
- Sending pictures of his “junk” online
- Sexting women online
As his wife it is your duty to
- Cut his nuts off.
- Release a statement apologizing for cutting your husband’s nuts off
- Release a statement saying that it is a difficult time in your marriage but that you love your husband and ask the press to respect your privacy
- Release a statement saying that you “really really really love” your husband, that he isn’t perfect and that you beg the forgiveness of the public
- Appear at his side during his press conference, all the while gazing adoringly at him. For extra sympathy, stand within five feet of him and/or let him put his arm around you
When news first reached you of your husbands transgressions, you
- Searched for the sharpest knife to cut his nuts off
- Felt betrayed but remembered that you are a feminist and have a duty to stand by your man
- Seriously. You must stand by him. After all, it’s not like he’s a Republican and is waging war on women
- Your husband is reliably pro-female reproductive freedom. So what if he wants to get his rocks off elsewhere. How does this concern me?
- I must support my husband. If he loses the election we’ll have to get jobs
Since the scandal broke your husband has fallen behind in the polls. What do you do?
- Frankly I’ve been too busy looking for something sharp to cut his nuts off to worry much about the polls
- Release a statement reminding the voters of all the free stuff they get because of my huband
- Film a campaign commercial where you smile at the camera and tell the voters how much you love and admire your husband
- Speak at campaign rallies and remind the voters that you are a normal family just like everybody else and you’re trying to scratch by on your $100,000 a night speaking engagement fee
- This son of a bitch better not lose the election. It’s all about power. I want the power!
Your husband has lost the election. What now?
- Point a gun at him and force him to cut his own nuts off
- I can’t work in the private sector! Your accountable for your performance and all that
- There is no power in the private sector
- Raise your speaking fee to $200,000 a night. You’re more valuable now and everyone wants to hear how you battled back from depression
- Get a talk show with Anderson Cooper
And there you have it readers: the Professional Political Wife Scandal Template™. Void where prohibited by law.
