In fairness, the Second Lady has traditionally taken on various projects, although usually of a kids/education/health/humanitarian angle. Nancy Reagan was particularly well known for her various causes. Michelle Obama was advocating child literacy and healthy lifestyle I believe.

Not defending her at all, but I think it's important to keep our facts and histories straight.

Edit: I dunno what I was thinking. Those are all First Ladies. You're right, I can't think of shit a single second lady has done, or even who any of them are. I retract my point.

    Nancy and Michelle were first ladies. Second ladies are the wives of VPs. And I'll be honest, I couldn't tell the names of any second ladies through my life, mostly because they usually don't make the news.

    Tipper Gore did some pretty stupid stuff... Thanks for the Parental Advisory labels on all those albums, Heckuva Job Tipper.
