A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband.-- Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, in a 1998 ad placed in the USA Today
(I wonder if his spouse is a proper good wife?)

Shouldn't you say, "Welcome to the 1st century" since he's paraphrasing the Apostle Paul?
Well, no. Because this isn't really about Paul -- rather it's about Huckabee, who is willing to pluck a startlingly misogynistic quote out of the 1st century and act as though it still applies today.
Um... ok. I guess I was just thinking that if your objective is to comment on how out-of-date his (Huckabee) ideas are, you'd want to use the earliest possible date that quote was used. I agree that to some, those ideas seem quite old. I'm just suggesting you accurately identify their age because doing so actually helps punctuate your point.
Doop! My bad. Punctuate away!
