You're off your rocker. So what is she was working under her maiden name?
Oh so that added maybe 30 seconds to the look up time.

What was his job again? Was it a public role which his wife would have been part of?

If Mrs Bush decided to do sometiung under her amiden name, how long do you
think it would take people to find that name?

If anything the fact that she was the wife of an ambassador makes it much
worse because there is no doubt she would have met lots of people as the
wife of the ambassador & now everyone knows she was a spook.

So he couldn't be bothered to check. Maybe that's coz he couldn't give a damn.
