Ann on Mitt Romney - 'There's a Wild and Crazy Man In There'

NEW YORK - If Ann Romney has one mission, it's to make sure everyone knows that her husband is just as "wild and crazy" as the next guy.

In an interview on "CBS This Morning," Mrs. Romney sat beside her husband and argued that the assumption that her husband is too stiff and not relatable is wrong.

"I think in politics that is what always happens, there is a narrative and sometimes you like to put him in a box and keep in that box," said Mrs. Romney.

Putting her hands on her husband's shoulder and shaking him gently, Mrs. Romney began laughing - as did her husband - as she explained how the media portrays the presumptive GOP nominee.

and then immediately prays for forgiveness.

Getting rich running countries into the ground and throwing thousands of peoples lives down the toilet, well that's just good business. Sleeps like a baby.

I think she was born with one of those silver foots in her mouth, too!

Why would anyone want a "wild and crazy guy" in the WH? Sure, we like them in clever films, or on stage with a fake arrow through their head, or singing the King Tut song...but not as leader of the Free World.

Though, if I had to pick between Wild And Crazy Guys For President, I'd go for Steve Martin over RMoney any day....

And sometimes wears a burnt orange cardigan draped across his shoulders on the way to the tennis court. Once he put 87 octane gas in his BMW 760. WHOOOOOOO-HAAAA!

Mittens is wild in a "Golly Ward, you took your tie off for dinner" kinda way rather than a "snorted some cocaine off a stripper's ass and got gonorrhea in Tijuana" kinda wild.

I'd be willing to bet she's already working with a designer to to redecorate
the White House, pick out china all that stuff. I really get the impression
she wants this more than he does. Too bad with all his money he can't buy
a personality.
