Ann Romney: No Extortion Had You Elected Mitt.

[RVN VET]

132. So sad, truly sad that you attack me for things I did not say or mean.

Interesting that you were able to infer from my brief rant a misogynistic content that was, in fact, just not there.

I merely said of the good lady what happens to be true: she has nothing to add to the political discourse but blather about her husband. She remains loyal to him. That's probably a good thing, in its way. But she has shown a political ineptness in the past and a typically Republican callousness to human suffering and the struggles of the people she and the rest of her class (most of them, anyway) have never shared.

I bet she was a real sweetheart in college. She was an attractive woman who bore and raised 5 -- count 'em, 5! - sons. That, in itself, is noteworthy and deserving of respect -- and, as she is a mother, I respect her. But she is not a politician, nor is she capable of understanding the needs of most Americans, and her comments about how things would be better if only dear Mittens had been allowed to ascend to the Presidency, everything would be just oh so much better -- those comments are ignorant and shows she has learned nothing from defeat.

Yeah, maybe I should have added accolades about her motherhood while inveighing against her foolish and counter-productive comments about the current state of America -- a state in which her husband's party is showing its willingness to destroy the Government and with it the World's economy to win a point against a man whose major crime, it seems, is trying to guarantee health care for 10's of millions of Americans. But somehow, at the time I just wasn't thinking of what a great mom she must have been. i was thinking, however, of just how tragi-comically shallow a persona she has put forth to take a pot-shot at a man who bested her vilely rich husband both in politics and in humanity and compassion.

And I meant to say only that, as a political thinker, she is no longer even a pretty face. I know that's crude, but considering that the Party her husband led to defeat has portrayed our President as a bushman with bones through is knows and a girdle of bananas around his waist, I really don't feel my characterization was in any way out of proportion to those of president Obama that she and her dear Mittens have implicitly endorsed.

That said, I retract my comments about her physical appearance. They were written in anger. Mrs. Romney is, in fact, a nice looking lady.

And, please, get a grip. MILF means more -- and less -- than what your mind seems bent on construing it to mean. There's more than one definition, after all, for "intercourse."
