Mrs. Romney: 'I love it that women are upset' [View all]

Laaadies! Mitt Romney has a message for you. Let's let Ann Romney distill it down to its most condescending core for a moment, shall we?

“I love it that women are upset, too, that women are talking about the economy, I love that,” Mrs. Romney said at a pancake breakfast here. “Women are talking about jobs; women are talking about deficit spending. Thank you, women.”

Wow. I mean, just wow. Women are really amazing, you know? Because who would have thought that they would bother to worry their little minds with the economy? It's not like women live and work and (try to) support their families in this lousy economy and have reason to be concerned about what's going on with it, so it must be something special to thank "women" for if they're thinking about the economy at all. Amirite?
