    effluent, affluent, flatulent?

    Silent but deadly.

    Well, that settles that, doesn't it.

    As usual, you can rip women, if they are Republican women. Same goes for African-Americans.

    Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Romneys already have kids before he graduated with his Law/Business degree? In other words, before he even started his career?

    I have no idea ow much financial help they got from their parents, but I believe they lived rather modestly while he was in school.

    But, if folks want to attack Ann Romney, I say go ahead. It's only going to backfire.

    I ain't attacking but since Romney's father was wealthy, I suspect Mitt and Ann didn't see much struggle as a young married couple.

    Why is telling the truth a personal attack? Ann Romney has never worked a day in her life. She was able to do so because her husband was wealthy and came from money. So how could she have perspective on what its like to be discriminated against in the workplace or the struggles of pay equality?

    Only in Washington does truth telling equal personal attacks or gaffes, much like the etch a sketch idiocy a couple weeks back.

    It's more the implication raising kids isn't work. Not that I agree with it.

    Now if Rosen said Ann Romney hadn't worked for a paycheck in her life, she would have been on safe ground.

    Did you actually listen to that? Either of you?

    The woman didn't even claim to have any contact with Ann when Ann herself was a mother, so if she has any evidence that Ann "never worked a day in her life" she forgot to mention it in the 3 minute clip. I didn't do much work when I was a child either. And where you find "a good deal of idiosyncratic personal information it would be seemingly almost impossible to fake" I have no idea. It was only a 3 minute clip. The woman only had maybe 10 lines, and 5 of them were "Ann never worked a day in her life." She mentioned Cranbrook (a school) and the Romney family and something about horses, and that's it. She certainly sounded legit, but that's not exactly hard evidence.

    And Baron, I hate to piss in the middle of such a witty political take, but you do realize this was Ann Romney's nanny when Ann was a child, right? It was not a nanny who took care of Ann Romney's children, thus that zinger about the Caddy doesn't make much sense.

    Yeah, I misheard the other part about it being her nanny growing up.

    I must have gotten that one confused among the other hired help that the Romneys only paid $20K to in 2010.

    Good thing Sen. Santorum's not the type of politician who uses his tragically ill young daughter for political gain.

    Now, remember everyone, she's off limits under all circumstances.

    Well, that does it.

    You can feel free to take off the gloves and attack the terminal, three-year-old.

    I mean, that's the proper response to this, right? He made her an issue, so now it's open season on her.

    Release the dogs!

    No one is calling for attacks on the poor child; her father's use of her is what deserves criticism from everyone.

    Yeah, that must have been what happened. And here I thought you didn't really care about the facts, only the headline.

    Speaking of "only the headline", how much should Romney have paid the "hired help" in 2010?
