As Michelle King, explains: ``We came up with the idea about a year and a half ago. There had been this waterfall of these kinds of scandals, from Bill and Hillary (Clinton), to Dick Morris, to Eliot Spitzer, to name just a few. I think they are all over our culture. And there was always this image of the husband up there apologizing and the wife standing next to _him_. I think the show began when we asked, ``What are they thinking?`` And Robert and I started talking about it from there ... You know, what's interesting about a lot of these political scandals is that the women are lawyers, too. Hillary (Clinton) is a lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards is a lawyer. I think that got us thinking along those lines. That is, we knew she had to go back to work, and we had so many female lawyers to draw on.'' <sep>, Pronoun: him <sep>, A: Dick Morris <sep>, B: Eliot Spitzer
