Anyone else catch the teaser headline on the front page of Sunday's New York Times Week in Review? It directed readers to Patrick Healy's piece about the New York-centric fantasy of a Rudy Giuliani-Hillary Clinton presidential race? It read: "Voters Just Might Pit the Mayor Against the Missus. Then What?"

"The Missus"! Har! That's adorable!

Seriously, a Broadsheet reward to any New York Times editor who dares to call Sen. Hillary Clinton "the Missus" to her face.
