7. I heard that call as well.

Apr 2012

It was earlier on Stephanie Miller show. I was watching it on Current and at first they thought it might be a prank call. Then the woman mentioned Ann Romney's siblings and the parakeet etc... yes it sounded VERY legit.

It confirmed to me that Ann Romney not only has experienced much privilege with her marriage, but also in her youth.

I hope someone else reaches out to this women, it was fascinating. Curious, is this where you heard it as well? I ask becuase I am wondering of the woman is trying to get this story out there.

On edit: I see that I didn't fully read that you did indeed hear it on the SMS. :redface:
