Ann Romney in Iowa today...Wow...just a lot of Wow. WOW.

[WilliamPitt]

“Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring. This is hard and, you know, it’s an important thing that we’re doing right now and it’s an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country.”

- Ann Romney, today in Iowa, on Republicans criticizing her husband, Teh Candidate

Yeah, no, seriously. That happened.

"Get in the ring" makes it awesome, but what makes it art isn't when she said "This is hard," but when she said it twice. Then it was art. High art.

Art.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Sounds like Queen Ann is getting a bit not-amused.

[central scrutinizer]

61. she's already picked out new drapes and carpets for the White House

and she is afraid she will lose her deposit

[HoneychildMooseMoss]

67. I just had to laugh at that one

It sounds so much like "Queen Anne"

[imanamerican63]

80. Where did buy them?????

Wal mart, Costco, Good will???

[Liberalagogo]

89. Not CostCo

CostCo is a very blue company.

[tarheelsunc]

94. But doesn't Mitt

buy his Chinese-made shirts there?

[Liberalagogo]

123. He gets them

Directly from the source. Chinese women locked up 120 to a bathroom in the factory.

[lunatica]

125. But that's to protect them from the hoards that want their jobs

[Manifestor_of_Light]

119. Nope. Schumacher. Luxury fabrics to the inferior desecration trade only.

http://www.fschumacher.com/products/fabrics/default.aspx

Probably $150 to $200 per yard, maybe 36 inches wide. ?

[BumRushDaShow]

128. This is exactly right!

Both her and him don't really care about "governing". They want to experience all the "trappings" and pomp and circumstance that goes with the Presidency. A 200-room mansion. Airforce One. Marine One. Tricked-out and fortified limos that go everywhere Air Force One goes. State dinners prepared by some of the best (government) chefs in existence. Access to remarkable florists who plan hundreds of displays. A military who salutes you as you walk by. Trips around the world to meet with the most powerful heads of state. And on and on.

This is why the racist rethugs are forcing us to endure their agonizingly long 4-year head explosion and descent into foaming zombiedom. It goes against the "order of things". How DARE a man who comes from the very race who built the damn White House for "free" as slaves, actually be allowed to occupy it without being one of the "help".

[Mad_Dem_X]

132. +1

They don't care about the country, they just want all the "goodies" that come with being President/First Lady.

[Maraya1969]

144. Oh how I want them to lose more than ever now. They don't deserve to live in

that house. Not them!

[Ken Burch]

70. maybe she'll lose it and start throwing canned tuna at the audience

(or do rich people just order their servants to do that when they freak out?)

[Aerows]

91. This had me laughing

for several minutes. I could just picture this

[SoCalDem]

120. or wire coat hangers

[sad sally]

77. From the not-so-secret tapes: "we use ann sparingly so that people don't get tired of her and start

complaining." Boy, was he right.

[Aerows]

92. LOL

I swear to gooodness between the fake tan threads and now this one, I have laughed my ass off today. What a priceless comment for a priceless day of laughs.

[Raster]

100. As Queen Ann, The Tedious Shrew: OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

[bullwinkle428]

2. Dubya : "Presidentin' is hard work!!1!"

Truly divine choice of inspiration, Ann!

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. GMTA!!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. ....and you kids keep off my horse's track, ya hear?

[aletier_v]

4. I'm sensing potential moocher material in Ann

She's sounding kind of lazy now

[Indpndnt]

5. Wow, and she said it to all of 200 people.

It was hard to speak to all your Iowa supporters at once, wasn't it, Annie? So brave.

[Ilsa]

49. "Annie." I'd love for that nickname

to take off. I bet it would unroyally piss her off to be called "Annie."

[Indpndnt]

59. Works for me. Annie, it is!

[loyalsister]

6. Mitt's greatest asset...

He's running out of them.

[LynneSin]

7. We're Lucky? Really??!! SOmeone explain that one to me

[Grown2Hate]

74. STOP IT, OKAY!!? Don't you realize we are SOOO lucky to have someone of Mitt's quality

who actually WANTS to lead us?! THIS IS SOOOO HARD! (BTW, we ARE lucky that Mitt is SUCH an inept candidate. We truly are.)

[Aerows]

95. I don't know about you

but I feel pretty lucky, since I've pretty much laughed my ass off today at his incompetence!!

[catbyte]

8. Christ on a cracker. Shut up, Queen Ann n/t

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. I would say to her if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen

but I doubt she'd understand. Maybe her caterer or chef?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Maybe she'd get it if you said, If you can't stand the heat, get out of the Luxema 8000 hot tub.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/07/luxema-8000-hot-tub-built-in-flat-screen-tv_n_1495834.html

[porphyrian]

10. . n/t

[d06204]

11. "opportunity to run this country.”

Wow! Shouldn't this be, "the opportunity to SERVE this country?"

[WilliamPitt]

16. + infinity

Stolen shamelessly.

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Right. You run companies and corporations, not countries.

[cr8tvlde]

39. Another version: You run companies and corporations into the ground and collect collateral damage.

You aren't going to get your pretty little manicured nails near our White House silver and china. Nor, is your husband's bronzed face going to be a White House portait...evah.

[GreenPartyVoter]

43. Yes, you phrased it much better.

[Indpndnt]

41. But, but, but....His and Her Majesties said it is "their turn" in the White House.

And here I thought they didn't believe in entitlements. Oh, wait! Only their own. Got it.

[SunSeeker]

72. Brilliant catch!

I just heard the audio of this on Lawrence O'Donnell and was too busy laughing my fool head off when she used that Mother Superior tone in saying "stop it" to hear the rest.

[nc4bo]

12. I'm going to have to invest in a cheese factory for this twisted sista. Woowhee. nt

[gopiscrap]

13. what a whiny piece of shit

[riderinthestorm]

14. Sheesh, no manners! Just an imperative "Stop it!", no please or thank you.... nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. I suspect she is unpleasantly surprised that she and Mittens

are actually having to get out and mingle with hoi polloi and work hard to try to persuade all those tiresome little people to vote for him, and the presidency isn't just going to be handed to him because he deserves it.

[liberalhistorian]

38. Her attitude in that respect reminds me of the line from

Evita based on something Juan Peron actually said: "It's annoying that we have to hold elections for our cause, the inconvenience, having to get a majority. If normal methods of persuasion fail to win us applause, there are other ways of establishing authority." (from the song "A New Argentina&quot .

I have no doubt at all that this is exactly what all the rMoneys are thinking, and they're getting more and more open about it, too. I remember an interview with Ann during the '0 primaries, where she was fairly dripping with entitlement and ambition and the "Mitt the Great deserves to be handed the Presidency, so all you little people just get the hell out of the way, please" attitude.

[magical thyme]

140. would that be the "Imperial Imperative"

you know, with her face all screwed up like she smells something really bad?

[Tx4obama]

15. I think that the Romney's haven't done even half as many rallies as Obama in 2008.

I remember watching live-streams of Obama in 2008 when he would do two events every day and sometimes three.

I was worried about Obama back then because he was working like a dog on the campaign trail almost to the point of looking exhausted.

The Romneys have NOT done that this year.

[Bryn]

20. It makes it sound like she wears pants in the house

"Listen and Obey"

"You People"

Now this

[pacalo]

45. He's just as bad as she is. He referred to the 47% as "those people".

[Iwillnevergiveup]

96. Could be

Because she also said this:



“In all the past debates, he would find me in the audience and after each question, he’d look at me ’cause it was like, ‘Did I do O.K. Ann? Was that O.K.?’” she said. “And I love that because he cares so much. I mean, we have such a good relationship and we have such a strong marriage and I know that he measures himself and how he’s doing by my face and how I think he’s doing, so I know in these next debates it’s going to be very important for me to be sitting in that audience.”

During her 10 minute speech to the crowd, Ann Romney said she was here in Iowa to talk about “the good side” of her husband that “very few people know about.”

“The real measure of a person is not how much money we make, but how we live our lives,” she said.

[iemitsu]

103. ann is a stage mother

and mittens is her honey boo boo.

[BuelahWitch]

121. He's her Money Boo Boo

[iemitsu]

129. hahah

[magical thyme]

139. ok. from now on it's HRH Queen Annie needs her nannie and her Money Boo Boo...nt

[iemitsu]

145. and her dancing pony.

[tblue37]

110. If his "good side" is known by so few people, maybe that's a clue that it

is not all that good or all that evident.

When someone really is the sort of good person who helps other people, then people know about it. The people he helps know, and the people close to the people he helps know, because his beneficiaries will talk about his goodness with other people.

The fact that Mitt's "good side" has been so hidden for so long suggests that it's rather like an imaginary friend.

[laundry_queen]

141. Now that's the truth.

Usually people will come forward to vouch for someone if they are a good person and are famous. Has anyone come forward with Mitt? It seems to me Ann is the only one who thinks of Mitt as having a good side. Oh, maybe their kids too.

[imanamerican63]

21. Is it not easy????

Help us out, shut up and quit whining!!!!!!!

[d_r]

22. the dude said

people would get tired of her

[REP]

24. Reminder: Ann Romney Will Inevitably Annoy Voters, Says Mitt Romney

Ann Romney Will Inevitably Annoy Voters, Says Mitt Romney
-- Erin Gloria Ryan

Ann Romney's frequently been utilized as a surrogate for her husband in his Presidential campaign, and it's no wonder. She's sweet, friendly, warm, and, most importantly SHE LOOOVES YOUUU WOMEN! But this week, Mittens himself admitted that there is such thing as Too Much Ann Romney, and that if the campaign isn't careful, America could get sick of her.

In yet another bit of surreptitiously captured audio that makes the GOP Presidential nominee sound like a complete prick, Romney can be heard to hear "We use Ann sparingly right now, so that people don't get tired of her."

First of all, if what we're seeing now is restraint in the use of Ann, I'd hate to see what would happen if Romney wasn't concerned that we'd all get tired of her. Would all of the campaign's commercials just feature Ann Romney talking about love in very short sentences? Would the Romney bus be a giant Ann-shaped vehicle? Would Ann just run for President herself? Can I buy Ann Romney action figures with realistic hugging and reassuring hand-patting action? WILL I BE ABLE TO BUY A BIRD SHIRT ACCESSORY FOR MY ANN DOLL?

(Jezebel.com)

[hootinholler]

35. That tape was from May? n/t

[REP]

42. From this week (about Ann), according to the piece

http://jezebel.com/5944574/ann-romney-will-inevitably-annoy-voters-says-mitt-romney?tag=politics

[hootinholler]

68. I think the author is mistaken

The tape was popularized this week, but the event it was recorded at was in May.

[pacalo]

44. I'll bet she's a real piece of work to those who know her well.

I doubt that she's had little to no exposure to people outside of their haughty rich world & that they're afraid of what she might say.

[Turborama]

104. "Would the Romney bus be a giant Ann-shaped vehicle? "

ROFLLMAOPML!!!



Funniest thing I've read this week!

Thanks for the laughs!

[diabeticman]

25. My wife said: "OMG! Her 'You People should be honored that Mitt would take time to

make you people better!"


This is probably the best "You people" moment of the campaign.


Seriously, I can't believe this campaign has imploded so quickly.

[pacalo]

26. The picture seems to be getting clearer about why they're "saving" her appearances for "later".

She's stressed out as hell. She can't understand why people outside of their bubbled existence have a different view of the man who has spoiled her into the rotten egg that she is. She's clueless.

[Raster]

101. Ann is WELL BEYOND CLUELESS.

Well beyond.

[Kalidurga]

27. Long past tired...

But, she can keep talking whatever, some days she is even less likable than Mitt, now that is an art form.

[DippyDem]

28. Ann...Ann...

Just please STFU.
Oh and please get the fuck off my lawn, Ann.
Go play with your horsey.

[Fozzledick]

29. I'm tempted to say something about her and the horse she danced in on...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

36. Sounds like she's disciplining her horse

The American people need to submit to dressage.

[nc4bo]

51. Think about what Mittens said about appearing with the ladies from The View

except that Hasselback idiot.

Maybe he's henpecked Might explain why dude walks so stiffly! Anne might be a dominatrix

[Confusious]

81. Submit to dressage?

I guess the jobs Romney wants to create are rich people riding poor people doing dressage.

That would be a Monty python skit I think.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

118. She gave us a good dressaging down, no?

[hootinholler]

30. Mitt said people would tire of her quickly

And I thought the Geezer-Douchebag ticket was performance art.

[nc4bo]

31. Lawrence O'Donnell just played it - OMG! What a sneering witch. nt

[ibegurpard]

32. throw me a few million and I'll get in the ring with your douchebag husband

that's the HARD part.

[grantcart]

33. Ok I thought you were going wild there with your "Wow" repitition.

You need to edit and ad a couple of more.

I know the sound of that voice. That was the voice my mother used right before I had to go weed the gardens for a couple of hours or wash the dishes.

No thanks.

Wow.

[WilliamPitt]

40. Wwwwwwwwwwwwooowwwwwwwwwwww.

Long Wow.

[hifiguy]

34. Pour some more gas on the fire, Queenie.

[JoePhilly]

37. Imagine is Michelle Obama said that.

Ann once again displays her sense of being entitled to be first lady.

[bluestate10]

73. If Mrs. Obama said that.

The right would be all over her, calling her un-american, privileged, angry, and so on.

[LibertyLover]

131. And don't forget "uppity"

If Michele Obama said or did even half the things Annie Rmoney has, the right would be labelling her uppity. Maybe only in private, but that's what they'd say.

[JoePhilly]

138. Gives me an idea ...

Send Ann's words to your right wing friends, but attribute them to Michelle. Then see how they respond. After they flip out, respond that you made a mistake ... and that Ann said it.

Bet the stroke out.

[neverforget]

46. Yep, I'm sick of her.

[Marie Marie]

47. This is the hardest work either of them have done their whole lives.

They aren't used to it and they don't like it. Just do what they say - it's their turn.

[spanone]

48. stuff it annie.

now she's a victim?

[liberalhistorian]

50. Queen Ann, you want "hard"?

You wanna know what "hard" really is? "Hard" is having to give up most of your hard-earned-for-forty-years pension and that of your husband every fucking month for his nursing home care and having to struggle to live on the very "generous" crumbs Medicaid allows you to have every month before it kicks in its share, crumbs that don't cover even basic expenses for the full month And throw in the fact that the husband was only in his late fifties when his dementia began, had to retire early from teaching, and they never got to enjoy the retirement they'd looked forward to for so long. Add in for good measure the fact that most of what they worked and sacrificed for all of the decades of their working lives has been given to the medical-industrial complex for his care, and they still want more and more of it. Nearly forty years of hard work teaching gone down the drain. THAT is hard, Annie dearest. Try doing that, you couldn't even last a couple of days. And if she gets cancer or MS now, she is SCREWED. TOTALLY. Not that you care about that, considering your disdain for "freeloaders" such as teachers, firefighters, police officers, nurses, social workers and all the other drains on the pocketbooks of your husband and his ilk.

Yes, Queen Ann, I'm talking about my mother. And there are plenty of other stories like that in this country, millions of them, of women you claimed ("screamed" to be more accurate) you "loved" at the freak show you call your convention. They know the REAL meaning of the words "this is hard." You don't, and you never will.

[lastlib]

79. Or this: Filing for bankruptcy so you can qualify for MedicAid.....

...so you can afford the medicine to keep the chemotherapy treatments you're getting for your cancer from killing you, so you can live until the cancer itself kills you--all because your health insurance WON'T cover the medicine because it's too expensive and will put you over your annual limit...in May. THAT's HARD, Ann. That was the spot my late sister found herself in, and that's what ObamaCare was enacted to prevent. And when your husband wants to repeal the law that would've kept insurance companies from killing my sister, to go back to GOPDoesn'tCare so insurance companies can have their profits, that's a slap in my sister's face, Ann. And I will be DAMNED if I will let your husband and his fuckwad cronies take us back there!!!

[renate]

114. I'm sorry....

That is hard. It's horrible. I'm so sorry.

[NYC Liberal]

52. Fuck you Ann: Why don't you "get in the ring" and spend a few months on food stamps,

or try working 2-3 jobs at minimum wage living paycheck-to-paycheck? I bet you wouldn't survive a day.

I wish I could have it as "hard" as a millionaire who never has to work a day in their life!

[Hutzpa]

53. Is there a video anywhere for those of us that miss this gold?

[Ilsa]

64. I found the audio:

http://www.radioiowa.com/2012/09/20/ann-romney-to-critics-in-gop-you-want-to-try-it-get-in-the-ring-audio/

The link is after the transcription of the interview, way down on the page.

[roaminronin]

54. I gotta feeling

Ann doesn't do hard, in any form or fashion.

[Ilsa]

55. Is there a video of this? I missed LO'D tonight. nt

[pamela]

56. Yeah, well, fuck her and the fancy horse we paid for and she rode in on. n/t

[patrice]

57. She also says it's MITT'S OPPORTUNITY to run this country. That's not tone deaf. It's tone DEAD. nt

[Squinch]

58. I'm pretty sure she hates us. All of us. Not just 47% of us.

[bushisanidiot]

60. Maybe that's what mitt meant when he said

They wanted to use Ann sparingly so folks don't get tired of her.

I say GIVE HER THE MICROPHONE!

"This GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!"

[tavalon]

62. Mitt has been keeping her home lately

so we wouldn't get sick of her. I'm sick of her.

[PA Democrat]

63. What an entitlement mentality!

Sorry, Annie, we're just not that into Mitt.

[AlbertCat]

65. it’s an important thing that we’re doing right now

High school prom queen elections are less absurd and have more integrity than this one....because of Rmoney and Co.

[bluestate10]

66. Man, does she reek of a sense of theological entitlement?

The more she opens her mouth, the more she sinks Romney.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

69. 2oo people?

There were more than that on my last air bus to Vegas.

[cilla4progress]

71. Compared to everything else they've done -

it's hard! C'mon! They were born with silver spoons in their mouths. They weren't supposed to have to "try" to do anything. Why do you think they are sucking at it so badly?

C'mon!

82. Ann has never had a job

No, that's not hyperbole, I don't mean she never had an established career, I mean she NEVER HAD A JOB, EVER. Oh sure, she piddled in some volunteer show-up-if-you-want-to things when her husband was governor, but thats it.
The bitch wouldn't know "hard" if it jumped up and smacked her in her sneering face.

93. Jesus Christ

Romney's campaign is in full meltdown mode at this point. My God I've nearly laughed myself sick all day long between this incident and the fake tan threads.



If I hear anyone trying to support him, I'm going to be hard pressed not to burst out laughing.

[tarheelsunc]

97. This just in, Mitt...

we're tired of her! You're not using her sparingly enough...

BTW, am I the only one who thinks the worst part of that statement by Mitt is that he views his wife as nothing more than a political tool?

[Aerows]

98. OMFG

I just listened to the audio and she starts off harping about how nice the Barcolounger that she sat in was. That's probably the first time her ass was ever planted in a pleather chair.

[Hamlette]

99. Someone needs to tell Mitt we are tired of her

I don't remember disliking a presidential candidate's wife before the election. How can she be so empty? I can see myself being pissed if it was my husband but I'd be smart enough not to say what she said. "This is hard?" Cry me a river. Maybe it isn't your time.

[Raster]

102. Oh no! She clearly said this was "their time."

[Tigress DEM]

105. If she thinks THIS is hard, she doesn't understand the job description.

Like GW said, "Being the pResident is HARD WORK."

[Tigress DEM]

107. Time to bring back Pink's "Dear Mr President"

"Dear Mr. President"
(feat. Indigo Girls)

Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why?

Dear Mr. President,
Were you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say
No child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind.
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell.

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mr. President,
You'd never take a walk with me.
Would you?

Sounds like Ann wants her husband to be king, never mind being president.

126. For those that didn't read the article: She was talking to Republicans

criticizing her husband's campaign. It doesn't mean she stepped in it again because it can be take out of context but still... I think facts are important since the Republicans have gone out of their way to create "history" with lies.

130. Yes, we're so LUCKY that Mitt has condescended to accept the presidency.

136. Sounds like Gordon Gecko addressing the shareholders of Teldar Paper on how lucky they are

146. Words are insufficient to describe how much I detest this person

Woman/wife/Republican...whatever. She's horrible.

Nope.

I feel sorry for her horse.
