Great moments in progressive thought

The latest tirade against Clarence Thomas by the New York Times is, apparently, that he's too close to his wife.  Now one would think after President Trump's embarrassments, not to mention L'Affaire Lewinsky and a host of other truly scandalous behavior by politicians, that commentators would start to think that it is a good thing when a public figure is devoted to his wife, but apparently not.  

I guess, given my relationship with Mrs. Bubba, I will be seen as completely incapable of assuming any position of prominence by the progressive left.  That noted, given my stances politically, I kind of knew that already.  My hunch here is that this is yet another one of those selective stances by progressives.  It's bad if a conservative is close to his wife (because they might make a lot of babies in addition to laws progressives don't like), but it might be tolerated in a fellow progressive.
