Was Ann joining Mitt on MTP a deal to get the interview?

Ann Romney’s “Meet the Press” interview, conducted on the Romney campaign’s bus, was the first in the Sunday show’s history that a spouse joined a presidential candidate."

1. During the interview, her left arm and hand was hidden behind Mitts back.

Was she pulling the strings?

6. More like propping him up I think...

Candidates wives are usually off limits (oh, except for Hillary and Michelle, funny that) because they are mostly neutral and stay essentially in the background since its their spouse who is the actual candidate.

Queen Ann is really getting on my nerves though. All the (bad) preconceived notions I had about her seem to be true. Each and every time she speaks its always the same rich white lady crap.

Although I am quite pleased that she is definitely helping to drag Mittens down the tubes with her entitled bullshit, in the end it is sort of a drag that she just does not get it. If she were cool she could be helping Willard seem more normal, instead she just reinforces that they are a family of fucking Coneheads.

In the end they are rich airheads who do not have a fucking clue and will hopefully lose in November despite voter suppression, Diebold machines and low info voters who vote against their own interests...

2. Ann Romney: Mitt's been 'demonized'

Ann, I am sorry to have to tell you this, but Willard is a demon and it is the Christian way to call out all demons

3. Human shield.

What's next, Ryan only appears with his mother to deflect Medicare criticism?

Oh, that's right, he did that already.

8. Remember Bush and Cheney insisting on being interviewed together by the 9/11 Commission?
