Dammit, this Ann Romney thing is bullshit

5. And their kevetching doesn't have anything to do with Mitt's "sales point"

Rosen's point is perfectly logical that a non-working, fully-staffed up madame of the house doesn't have a damn thing to do with the economy (as it relates to women), and so she is no sort of legitimate "chief adviser on women's issues," as Mitt designates her.

Rosen may have stated it inelegantly, and media consumption in this country languishes in one of its darker hours, and so a discussion of the actually logic behind her statements will, of course, take a backseat to this nonsensical "outrage."

And I don't want to hear a damn thing about her medical afflictions. Only because they're not relevant to what Mitt put on the table. But as to that part of her life, fine, you want to make her your adviser on disability issues, that might make a lick of sense, because that's something she knows more than most of us about. Go right ahead. But don't tell me that she knows a damn thing about woman making actual choices about how to participate in family economics or in the broader sphere of economics or about what it is like for women in the working world.
