New Labour Leader Elect Wendy Alexander MSP has apparently had her first "embarrassment" in her new role following disclosures that her husband, Professor Brian Ashcroft, of the Fraser of Allander Institute, apparently backed calls for independence for Scotland.
Now Mr Smith isn't much of a traditionalist, so he thinks it really is straining it a bit for a forty year old, mother of two, and long term elected politician with a brain the size of a small country to be held accountable for the professional pronouncements of her husband, whether they cause her embarrassment or not.
The days of wives being viewed as "chattel" and not being able to think for themselves ended a long time ago.
