Scandalizing fact: Ann Romney was a stay-at-home mom

[FarLeftFist]

Ann Romney, wife of presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, is not an expert on economic issues facing women.

That’s not to say she couldn’t have been, isn’t smart enough to be, or couldn’t be in the future.

It’s not to say she’s a stay-at-home sloth who gorged herself on Bon Bons and soap operas and is therefore less of a person because she never earned a paycheck.

It’s a statement of fact. And when you put facts into context, a miraculous thing happens in America: you create scandals.

1. Yes, but why wasn't her family at her wedding?

I just heard that.

2. Something for you to explore.

Please report back!

4. I think because they weren't Mormons. See Wikipedia. nt

3. Mitt was driving a car in France, got in an accident, and his passenger died.

His passenger was a Mormon missionary honcho, too.

There's a lot of potential for 'scandalous commentary' if we wanted to go that way. He's such a doofus we haven't needed to.

Everyone knows what Hillary Rosen meant. The righties' trying to drum up poutrage over this story just makes people remember that the "stay at home MOM" has three caddys, a horse sequestered at every house they own for recreational riding, and she's never had to spend her days washing dirty diapers or scrubbing floors or clipping coupons to make the grocery money stretch.

5. I just tweeted Hiliary Rosen to offer support.

It would be great if a lot of other members would also send her a message. She did nothing wrong and I was sicked by reports that members of the Obama administration have criticized her.

6. Did that yesterday.

Also tweeted @AnnDRomney to encourage her to keep speaking out. Because she's a campaign asset.

I'm not obligated to say which campaign.

7. She's taking a hit for the team, but she will be fine.

I promise you, when no one remembers her name, they will still remember this FACT--that 3 Caddy driving, horse at every home riding, stinking, stinking rich Ann Romney NEVER worked a DAY in her life!

8. Ann Romney never worked a day in her life because she was born into extreme privilege.

She had nannies, housekeepers stable people, gardeners ect.. She was uber rich and didn't have to work not even as a housewife.
