As a conservative, I tend to disagree with the above sentiment.
I don't remember Reagan mentioning Jimmy Carter's brother Billy, Clinton's daughter or members of Dukakis's family were off limits, and present and potential first ladies have been traditionally treated with more respect than their husbands.
