Shades of Bill as "First Gentleman"?

Newsweek's Eleanor Clift writes about what life might be like for Bill Clinton as First Gentleman if Hillary becomes President. Here's an excerpt from her interview with the husband of Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm:

If Hillary wins, what will we do with Bill? Finding a role for the First Gentleman could be as challenging for Hillary as finding a way out of Iraq. A lot has been written about the plight of the political spouse, who is usually a woman. With the rise of women in politics, there’s a whole new genre, the male spouse, which places the man in the unaccustomed supporting role.

I'm sure Bill will be a very supportive First Gentleman and will set a great example for all future ones.
