Okay, You Wanna Talk Entitlements? Let’s Talk Entitlements.
Ole Bubba and I were watching the electric teevee the other night and Bubba,who has a triple digit IQ and can multitask, was reading his iPad.
All of a sudden, Ole Bubba just hoots. He said, “Babe, you’re gonna love this and enjoy it in an unflattering and unseemly manner.”
Ole Bubba knows me well.
I am not a fan of Ann Romney. From the day she said, “you people,” until her haughty presence after the second debate when she refused to even look at President Obama when she took the stage, I have found Ann Romney to be a very entitled woman. I thought that she patronized me and every other struggling young couple when she talked about having to sell stocks (oh my!) to pay bills in college.
She was a woman lacking class before the election and she hasn’t improved much. At all.
By all accounts, the past month has been most difficult on Romney’s wife, Ann, who friends said believed up until the end that ascending to the White House was their destiny. They said she has been crying in private and trying to get back to riding her horses
Bubba is happy to report that I have never in our marriage cried because I am not First Lady.
Maybe we could all pitch in and buy her a princess outfit.
See, I am behaving just as Ole Bubba predicted – unseemly. So, instead of saying anything else, I will simply say, “Bless her heart.”
I say this without a hint of Texan. Bless your heart, Susan. You are a jewel.
1Tell it like it is, sistah! OOPS, I mean AS it is (the ghost of my 6th grade teacher Mrs Libby got me). Karma’s a bitch, Ann.
2We had a gesture in school– maybe it was widespread. Extend your thumb from your fist, saw your index finger across it, and inform the whiner in front of you that this is “the smallest violin in the world playing ‘My Heart Bleeds For You’.”
Don’t know why that old memory came back just now.
3At least the horses are happy.
4I do love a little juicy schadenfreude and Ann is serving it up in silver cups. hehehehe
5Can you imagine her as FLOTUS? She would expect everyone to bow. Other countries would go back to hating us.
I still think the majority of those tax returns showed no taxes paid for those years.
6“I love you women!”
I am forever grateful Mitt lost if for no other reason- heh, as if there weren’t any more- than never having to see her pointing her finger at us again as she did in that speech. Mitt’s most likely out and about because she kicked him out of her house for losing her election.
7The Rolling Stones are playing a few gigs for their 50th Anniversary. Maybe we could ask them to play a special shout out.
“We’d like to dedicate this next one to our good friend Ann,”
(with apologies to daChipster):
No, you can’t always get what you want
8No, you can’t always get what you want
No, you can’t always get what you want
But if you try sometime, you just might find
You get to concede
“bless her heart,” beautifully said! For the uninitiated you may want to link to a previous post explaining this.
9I didn’t know Ann wanted to be First Lady. I thought she was aiming for Queen.
10Oh, Lordy! Right from the start with her hysterical account of falling in love with Mittens I knew that she had never advanced beyond the ninny stage! Nor had he. There’s gotta be a song about this somewhere!
11YOU PEOPLE are surely spiteful. This isn’t some petty annoyance like being unable to feed your children and having no health care. This is big-time hurt. Poor woman’s horse didn’t do diddlysquat in the Olympics and now this. I heard her car got stuck in the elevator the other day. There’s just so much one woman can bear.
12Thank you, JJ and everyone else, too. It was looking like a harsh day so far, and now I’m rejoicing. And snickering; just a little bit. 🙂
13The incident I remember most vividly garnered very little, if any, attention in the media; it occurred during the primaries or shortly thereafter, when Smirk was drawing much criticism for woodenness and inability to “connect” with people. Her Haughtiness was asked how she would prefer that people respond to her husband. She immediately answered, “Listen and obey.”
Three words told me all I ever would need to know about both of them.
Dodged a bullet, did we? More like an ICBM — with nuclear warhead.
14She picked the wrong frat boy*! All that money, all those houses, a pack of healthy sons, a cush life, her horses and all she can do is go into a decline because Mitt lost the election?
Just another good reason they didn’t get into the White House! Destiny, indeed! Good Lord! The pressure cooker that is the US Presidency would have put those two pathetic little hothouse plants in a mental institution in no time flat!
*Laura Bush has more class. STILL trying to figure out why she married Georgie!
15Someone explain to me why a woman so desperate for that level of prestige relied on her husband to get her there instead of working to get there herself. And don’t tell me she’s from “that generation.” She ain’t that much older than I am.
16I despise Ann for her something-smells expression when President Obama was nearby. Somewhere I read she said the Obamas needed to start packing because it’s “our turn.” I have to call her a witch with a capital B.
JJ, have you seen that Citicard ad? The one where a woman is buying a “pink castle thing” for her daughter? That’s what I say to Lady Ann (with all the sarcasm I can manage), “Have a super, sparkly day!”
17When I hear things like that, i really really wonder if they tried to ‘fix’ the election and somehow they failed.I had never seen Karl ‘the math’ rove, all but stuttering before. Not a pretty sight.
They all ‘expected’ to win.
I guess I only feel sorry for her because she has MS. A terrible disease. But considering all she has compared to most Americans, I don’t feel sorry for her. She has the best of everything that matters, food, multiple shelters, the best health care.
18I hope they can appreciate that.
@Nancy Jane Moore, I have been reading up on the Mormon religion and learned that women are taught to be subservient to their husbands. They are expected to stay home and have babies and be the dutiful mother/wife. The “church” does not allow women in any positions of authority. I understand Mitt tried to change that when he was “in charge”, but he didn’t succeed. No excuse for her behavior, but I was not surprised at the “listen and obey” statement she made.
19Ole Bubba and I must have been reading/watching the same thing~I just about fell out of my easy chair listening to the eversosad tale of the poor entitled Mittens and QueenAnnWannabe of RomneyHood and their still “cluelessness” as to why they are not preparing to TAKE OVER AMERICA~hilarious, but “Bless Her Heart” is just too nice for the likes of these horrid people. Unseemly – yeah, they are very unseemly.
20Nancy Jane, 1) She is basically a Stepford Wife, meaning that if there was ever any personal ambition it has all been funneled into the ambition of her spouse. 2) I believe that one of the principals in the Mormon Church is a belief that a woman is dependent on her husband for her after-life. From wikipedia: the 19th-century leader Erastus Snow preached: “No woman will get into the celestial kingdom, except her husband receives her, if she is worthy to have a husband; and if not, somebody will receive her as a servant.”
So Ann is both conditioned by faith and Stepford-like programming to be subserviant in all her sense of self for the purpose of supporting her husband.
21This will be the best Christmas ever, next to the year we had our first grand child! There is a God, folks. President Obama is not coming with “gifts.” He is coming to give us all the ability to buy them ourselves. Things will get better for everyone, slowly but surely, as the Good Lord, or whoever our Higher Being is, taught us.
22This is what comes of always getting what one wants.
23The Romneys felt they, as wealthy, white and elite, were entitled to the Presidency and are dumbstruck that we the people said “NO!” Just who do we think we are?
Goodness knows President Obama gets blamed for everything from wildfires to hurricanes…now he’s responsible for Ann Romney being depressed cuz he kept her from fulfilling her “destiny”?
24Wow..I’m married to a diva, I’m raising a 6-year old diva-in-training, so I know a few things about divas. Ann, you are a DIVA, hon…hope the horse helps ya.
She’s a little horse. Poor baby has a bad colt.
25AND, Michelle won the gown competition at the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday!

27BTW Star, as I was reading these comments to my husband he mentioned that Arizona’s Senator Flake is originally from Snowflake Arizona, a city founded by the Snow and Flake families. So if you we’re wondering where the Senator’s attitude visa-vie women drops, go back and read that great quote again!
28Rick! Great one! Wish I’d thought of it. Let’s collaborate:
I saw her today at the reception
29A glass of whine in her hand
She was suff’ring from her own self-deception
At her feet was a transition plan
It’s time for Miss Annie to put on her Magic Mormon Big Girl Knickers, knoted though they have been, and look real life in the face.
30Hey daChipster, you have a tune for your song?
31It’s me again. I’m curious. I get emails from my Tea Party friends about Obama and his brown shirts. I know it has something to do with FEMA. Any of y’all know what fantasy they are spinning here?
32Ok Maggie, it’s not perfect and I’m not daChipster, but-
Hey, Sad Ann?
What’s that button in your hand? Just a souvenir
From Romney’s rise and fall?
And did I hear you say
He was a meetin you here today
To take you to his mansion
On the Mall?
Shes 51 and she still whines like a baby
All you people shake your heads and say
she’s crazy.
Now she walks DC with a suitcase in her hand
Lookin for her Presidential man.
In the campaign days she plotted and she schemed
Pennsylvania Ave her home of dreams-
But the people voted in the other guy
And now she’ll never get to live inside!
Apologies to Ms Tanya Tucker, who sang “Delta Dawn”, upon which the Ballad of Sad Ann is loosely based.
33Gag me with a spoon, and let me wear that tiara for a few minutes.
34I’m pretty sure Ann believed (or was told) that if she stuck with Willard, she’d someday get to be Queen of Everything.
She just found out that’s not going to happen.
Awwww………
35… and the dressage horse you rode in on!”
36Marge, he is what they’re talking about; Warning: You and Juanita Jean will need to use clorox on your computers, and have the shower ready when you’re done reading! I’m sure they have cooties!

Would that I could be as brilliant and witty as all of JJ’s clients! Had a trying day, so thanks everybody!
38She won’t be ordering Secret Service agents to heat her dog’s food anymore. Even the Queen of England doesn’t act that entitled.
39QEII is enjoying a great year of festivities connected with her 60th and Jubilee year upon the throne-AND she’s going to be a great grandmother!! I’ll bet if she raises her eyebrow a certain way pants start getting peed in!
Ann Romney the entitled little wannabe? Meh, not so much!
