Good Lord, Woman, It’s March. Find Something To Do.
Y’all, this has turned from schadenfreude to one of the pressing mental health issues of our time.
Ann Romney. Bless. Her. Heart.
Ann Romney said she blamed the media for unfairly treating her husband. The portrayals of them as rich and out-of-touch kept the public from getting “to know Mitt for who he was.”
While she shed tears after the loss, she said, “I’m mostly over it. But not completely.”
Ann, go play with your car elevator and your couple of Cadillac. Play the Do-We-Have-A-House-In-Every-State-Yet Game to entertain yourself.
Honey, I hate to be the one who tells you this, but there was no portraying involved.
Ho boy, we missed the whining and grudge-holding bullet, didn’t we?
Thanks to David for the heads up.
Yep, bless her heart.
1Twice.
2One of the things about conservatives that always strikes me as odd is that they go on and on and on and on and on and on and on about “personal responsibility.”
Yet when things go wrong it’s never their fault.
3Another thing: Mitt also ran for the nomination in 2008. So we got “to know Mitt for who he was.”
And who he was before that, and who he was before that, and who he was before that, etc, etc, etc.
4That silly woman never even came up with a “cause” she could throw herself into, did she?
5Stealing a cue from Palin’s playbook, isn’t she?
The thing that got me was when Mitt appeared on Fox today, was trying to apologize for the 47% remarks, his big excuse being “when you’re talking in private ….” Umm .. .that comment was not made in private. It was made at a fundraiser filled with dozens if not a hundred or more like-minded elites. Fer crissakes.
6I’ve wondered how long she had spent in front of a mirror, practicing her “queen wave” – you know, the little wrist action deal that royalty use – for the millions of minions she imagined adoring and cheering for her.
7Message to Ann Romney: Calm down, Mary.
8You,do realize that car elevators are quite common here in Japan. Please don’t disparage our car elevators by throwing them into the same pot as Mitt Romney’s that’s just unfair.
9The Romney’s had every opportunity to take the issue of their wealth away from the liberal media. In fact I seem to recall they were asked for months to show us their tax returns so we could see what regular folk they were. I for one, was looking forward to comparing my Cayman Island Hedge Fund gains over the last 10 years with their’s.
10(snark alert) Rick: I, too, was looking forward to comparing their off-shore accounts with ours, as I assume was true of most of JJ’s clients. I just hope we can continue to afford fuel for our personal “aircraft,” in view of the new tax rates. As you doubtless know, life isn’t exactly easy for the top one percent either. (snark completed)
Get. Over. It. Ann. You don’t get to be the queen.
11The first thought that came to my mind was: WATBs (Google it).
12Really, BarbinDC, it’s amazing how there’s always something new and exciting to learn here.
By the way, you wouldn’t be the Barb in DC who’s friends with Rita in New Mexico, would you?
13And once again someone rich and powerful casts herself as the victim.
14Myrna-re the Queen Wave…reminds me of my late irreverent friend Gail, a free spirited South African nurse who told me about the real Queen’s Wave…she showed me the proper wave, explaining “It’s a garden. A garden of these..” at which point the Queen’s Wave turned into a middle finger bird flip. I can see Queen Ann doing that, can’t you!
15The money quote from this interview? Mitt Romney:
“What I said was not what I believe.”
The problem with his entire campaign in a nutshell, straight from the (tax deductible show) horse’s mouth.
16Ann as seen by the rest of the country!

17The idea that she thought it was “their time” and they “deserved to be in the White House”, pretty much sums up her (and his) white, rich person’s arrogance. Sounds more like a junior high kid being upset about not making the cheerleading squad…….or something.
18Thank goodness! I still think he walked funny……like he thought something was gonna break.
Somebody needs to tell the Romney’s to read the poem “If” by Kipling. Might make their next interview more pleasant.
19Reading her remarks over the last few days makes me so very happy she and her “misunderstood” husband are not living in the White House. Does she not realize what she sounds like to the rest of the country, not to mention the world? Yikes!!!
20I know there is bound to be some useful purpose….. in having these people give interviews on television.
I also know there is bound to be some useful purpose for John McCain and Lindsey Graham to be on television most every Sunday morning.
Maybe there is some useful purpose in people still wanting to know what Sarah Palin thinks.
Does anybody know what it is?
If you do, would you share with the rest of us?
Because hard as I have thought, and looked, and pondered, I can’t find one.
21I watched a clip of this interview and at one point, while Romney was answering a question, I saw the look on Chris Wallace’s face. I wouldn’t want someone to look at me like that.
22Somebody hurry up and get Princess Ann a hearing aid and a clue. How many times do people have to tell her she’s whining outside the White House because we know exactly who she and her husband is.
23Miemaw,
I am with you and I am pretty smart. For the life of me I cannot see the reason for any of those people to be on the teevee machine at all, ever again. They do nothing but lie and mislead and offer nary a solution to anything.
I am really sick of McLoser still telling his re-hashed “I lost in 2008” non-jokes, which show EXACTLY why the demented one should retire. He is still suffering like Mittens, QueenAnn and Snowbilly trying to figure out why America did not elect them and trying to rationalize their losses as some kind of “failing” on the part of the American voters.
I just want them all to go away and take their Bagger fans with them, we need to fix this country and they are in the way. They really need to drop off Miss Lindsey at the local playhouse theater so he can fulfill his life-long dream of playing Blanche DuBois in Streetcar so the President can get this country prospering again. GET THEM ALL OUT OF THE WAY and OUTTA MY SIGHT.
24You’d think someone with that kind of money could have hired some dang-good PR people to clear up that image problem. They had the cash to hire the best.
I guess having a lot of money don’t automatically make you smart, now, huh?
25Having a lot of money doesn’t make you high class. Ann Romney proves it.
26Oh dear. Someones failed Gracious Losing 101 didn’t they?
27Charlie Pierce had a wonderful time with this in today’s Esquire:

28I would respect the Romneys more if they said:
“Yes, we’re rich. We were born that way and chose to remain that way. It’s the luck of the draw that our parents before us had the wherewithal to grease the skids for us and make our lives easier. Maybe we should look at making government work as well for the majority of people as our parents’ largesse worked for us.”
I expect to hear that right after I get the check that’s in the mail and the respect I was promised in the morning.
29She’s probably tired of having Mitt moping around the house all day.
30According to what Ann Romney supposedly said in the interview: “The portrayals of them as rich and out-of-touch kept the public from getting ‘to know Mitt for who he was.’ ”
So, Mrs. Romney, where have you and your husband been since the election on November 6? Rich and out-of-touch perhaps?
Actions speak louder than words, and your absence from public accountability and accessibility following your defeat helped the public learn much more in getting to know both of you for who you really are.
31She should be able to afford depression meds…..maybe the ones made in the Cayman Islands.
32If Ann wants to be relavent, she need to get some bangs. You could help her out JJ.
33More important than getting to know who Mitt is, was the glaringly obvious spectacle of who Mitt is NOT! He is NOT a man with the courage of his convictions. He is NOT dedicated to improving the plight of so many Americans without his financial advantages and he is definitely NOT, due to the wisdom of the electorate, the President of the United States.
34They need to stop watching Fox.
