I’m amused both by the material and by their frenetic denunciations of it, and me, and all my ancestors and my descendants, and fellow-believers and affinities and collaborators. I should show you the weird PMs \*\*Scumpup \*\*sends me sometime, just hysterical off his chump stuff–you’ll never believe him again when he claims to be so blase about my online writings (as if you believe him now). You’ll be convinced that no one could write a total stranger such bizarre shit without caring a lot, and in a very peculiar way. Yeah, but at the end of the day, you’re still the strange writhing thing in the corner-- vaguely humanoid in appearance and covered with a viscous substance that may or may not be its own filth–and we’re the curious townsfolk, poking at it to see what it does. ---

Haven’t mentioned her MS in any posts (so far) and really am not interested in her MS as an issue. I’m speculating on private conversations she and Mitt are having based on the total and deep depression I’m figuring she’s going through right now, and am enjoying every detail I can conjure up.

But they’re my core audience here, apparently. And I intend to keep entertaining them as long as the concept amuses me. ---

What’s with the hatred of Ann Romney? Not a fan of her or her husband, but while her husband has done things for which he can legitimately despised, I’m not aware of her doing anything like that. Personally, I can’t ever even thinking of her during the campaign and suspect I won’t be thinking of her anytime soon. ---

It’s funny you guys are freaking out over **prr** when all the first posts in this thread agreed with him. You act like he’s some sort of crazy person, but yet say nothing about everyone else who says she sucks. Just marrying Mitt Romney, who is a thoroughly disgusting person, is enough for me to rag on her a bit. Romney’s the one candidate that I think could possibly be a sociopath. The fact that she was attracted to a possible sociopath says a lot about her. (And that’s assuming it wasn’t about money.) ---

She made a number of public appearances where she came across as a spoiled princess who was out of touch with reality, let alone the middle class. Her attitude was that she and Mitt should just be handed the keys over to the White House now. Basically, she’s a Marie Antoinette with a Michigan accent. ---

Nun bondage??? Is there a newsletter or website? Back to the OP. Ann came across as an entitled rich bitch in public statements and interviews that I saw. Perhaps only surpassed by Nancy Reagan in the half century + I have experienced as unlikeable as a first lady (potentially). ---

I agree that Ann Romney could have done something as the face of MS… too bad she’s such an airhead that it would never happen. Otherwise the rest of this thread is nuttier than squirrel shit, to steal a phrase from Sampiro. ---

She’s not an airhead, she can’t be the face of MS because she only believes in healthcare for those who can afford it, the rich. Expanding the insurance pool to cover everyone and give the insurance companies a huger pool to profit off of, her husband’s idea, is socialism and thus bad m’kay? I don’t think the woman is an airhead at all, just an immoral selfish “rugged individualist” who married rich. ---

I confess the woman’s been off my radar since…well, forever. After all, it was her husband running for office. I just don’t buy into the whole “the spouse is the politician” rot. Can someone–someone other than the OP, who, after all, has admitted he doesn’t give a hoot about the facts; he simply wants to vent and rage at the woman–provide a few links to things she’s actually said and in context? ---

Well, the GOP took her off the media at one point, [because she was speaking arrogantly](http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/23/1135633/-Ann-Romney-Cancels-Interviews-After-Iowa-Stop-It-Meltdown) about the campaign, ordering critics to “stop it,” “it” being criticizing the Romney campaign. Voters are “lucky… to have someone with Mitt’s qualifications”? Really Okay, I’ll obey your orders because I had no idea how lucky I was to have the chance to vote for your hubby. Or how about the [time](http://www.politicususa.com/mitt-ann-romney-reveal-arrogant-contemptible-elitists.html) when she said, “It’s Mitt’s time. It’s our turn now.” Not arrogant enough for you? Sorry, excuse MEEEEEE for cutting in front of you when it was your turn. Don’t know why we ever bothered voting, really. Or the[time](http://www.politicususa.com/romney-campaign-pulls-video-ann-romney-mitt-disdain-americans.html) the GOP itself decided to yank a video of Ann denying Mitt’s “disdain” for Americans? Uh, no, “disdain” isn’t quite right, it’s more contempt, with a soupcon of “disregarding” and “condescension” tossed in… Do you need more? ---
