Speaking of which, is there a reasonably objective argument that either Melania or Hilary is the most publicly debased First Lady in history? Or will one’s personal politics always figure large in the determination?

I don’t know the answer to that. I could see it going either way.

[Mik]

Could be Michelle too. Hillary imposed herself on the governing process and was fair game.

[LuFins Dad]

Do you m an debased by the public or debased publicly by their husband?

[jon-nyc]

I mean the latter, in which Michelle obviously isn’t in consideration.

[LuFins Dad]

Then I would say Clinton. As far as we know, none of Trump’s peccadilloes occurred in the Oval Office, and let’s face it, expectations were low to begin with. She knew what she was getting into in 2005, and has been rewarded handsomely.

None of this holds a candle to Jackie.

Recency bias, indeed...

[jon-nyc]

I meant to address that, the public knew nothing about that until much later. The good ol’ boys of the Washington press corp knew but didn’t report it.

[Mik]

Thing were better then in some ways.

It's interesting that Melania doesn't feel Trump did nothing wrong in cheating on her with a porn star who he then paid off to cover up the affair

How does Yglesias know that? Did he talk to her, get an interview?

Or is he speculating because of TDS?

He’s pretty far from deranged but yes, he’s pointing out the dog that didn’t bark.

In other words, he knows nothing.

[jon-nyc]

It is a rather unreasonable speculation on his part. Most wives that are busy breastfeeding their newborns are glad to have the husband out of the house and keeping themselves busy.

...publicly.
