The Rude Pundit is Rude… He’s also right.

Lee Papa, aka "The Rude Pundit"

Damn.  The Rude Pundit does not care for the Ann Romney kerfluffle…

Fuck her. And fuck everyone, from the Obama administration to Fox “news” numbskulls, who piled on what Democratic strategist and CNN contributor Hilary Rosen said on Wednesday night. Rosen didn’t say a goddamned thing that was wrong when she offered that Ann Romney “has actually never worked a day in her life.”

Ann Romney has lived a privileged, pampered life and she has done nothing that anyone would associate with a “job,” and that includes her stay-at-home mothering, readily assisted by nannies and servants. She has a degree in French from Harvard and her major activity is dressage (which, apparently, is some fancy horse thing involving riding crops and jodhpurs and jaunty hats). Rosen was addressing Mitt Romney’s remark that he listens to Ann on economic issues affecting women. Mitt Romney getting advice on the economy from his wife is like him getting foreign policy advice from Seamus, the roof-riding family dog. (Although, if you think about it, “Shit yourself until someone hoses you off” isn’t bad advice for a nation.)

Amen.  And Amen.

  1. Ah, dressage. Well, it’s all now becoming clear. Ann and Mitt Romney are Betty and Don Draper!

  2. And the fallout from all of this is that Hillary Rosen enabled the Repubs to further marginalize women, by categorizing motherhood as a job (what about the fathers?) and justifying their position that a woman’s place is in the home. There was no way to win on this one.

    1. I agree, Rich. This is another case of knee-jerk, mouse-in-a-maze mentality run amok.

      For crying out loud, Ann Romney married the quarter-billion dollar man! Any Democratic strategist with half a brain would stick with the premise that people like Mitt Romney (and The Donald, for that matter) were born born with silver trust funds in their mouths. They have so much money that they don’t work as much as they play a game called “work”.

      The difference between doing actual work and playing “work” is that real workers’ lives depend on their success or failure, while the otherwise idle rich who are playing “work” can decide to quit, take their ball and go home without suffering any consequences whatsoever. The Donald was so stupid that he actually forgot the rules and played “work” with his own money and lost! Several times! And as is the Code of the Rich, he was given his money back and offered a perpetual do-over!

      With ammunition like that, how could any reasonable person screw that up?

      But no, they have to attack the nice lady who (like Hillary Clinton) did have a position in her husband’s administration, got MS, then breast cancer!!!

      Seriously, what kind of fscking MORON dreamed up this shoot yourselfcountry in the foot attack on the nice lady with MS and breast cancer who bravely soldiers on as a full-time mother?

      For Christ’s sake! Most of us have mothers…
