those consort names again

[Laurence Horn]

Remember when we were wondering if President Hillary Clinton's
husband would be known as First Gentleman, First Lad, or whatever?
Turns out we didn't need to worry about how to resolve that one, but
I see that Republican VP nominee-designate Sarah Palin's husband Todd
is known in Alaska as First Dude.   (And so is Gary Sebelius, whose
wife--the governor of Kansas--had been one of the dark horses rumored
to be under consideration by Obama.)
