Showing how this whole thing always eats itself eventually, Republicans are now apologizing because the Catholic League (what teams are in that league, anyway? All I see is that one crank) tweeted that Ann Romney's kids count more than Hillary Rosen's because the latter is a lesbian, and the latter also had to adopt her kids, while Romney's kids were "her own."

Is there anyone left to piss off, here?

I like this quote from the story I link to below:

The apology train had come full circle, but not before it eclipsed any actual news that might have had a run in the spotlight. Is this what the general election is going to be like?

“Dear God, I hope not,” said one unaffiliated Republican consultant who worked in the Republican primaries. “This presidential campaign makes me want to start doing drugs.”

Probably about as many billionaire-princess homemakers from gated platinum-mansion communities who are suddenly going to jump on the Obama bandwagon because his campaign has disowned Rosen's comments.

This group is more apt to jump on Freq.

If every taxpayer followed Mitt's lead, and requested and extension on performing their civic duty, would the government be forced to shut down?

Is that what he's hoping for?

Childhood nanny of Ann Romney, who supplies a good deal of idiosyncratic personal information it would be seemingly almost impossible to fake, provides support for the position, "she never worked a day in her life."

Wow, I gave Ann some credit. I figured she decided which Caddy would take the kids to school. I didn't take into account that she would have a nanny who could make those decisions.

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.
Click to expand...

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?

At least $40-60K for full-time work, according to some Boston domestic staffing agencies:

Some real rocket scientists on the board today. You can file an extension if you owe, you just have to pay an estimated amount. And trying to attack someone politically for filing one is stupid and desperate.

YankeeFan · Apr 14, 2012

Yeah, you can have an extension on filing, not paying.

You still owe, and have to at least pay estimated taxes.

Tarheel316 · Apr 14, 2012

Romney is rich. He doesn't have to pay taxes.

DanOregon · Apr 14, 2012

My guess? His taxes are done and ready to go, they're just trying to figure out how to optimize the press coverage on it. Maybe paying a higher percentage, cutting some deductions he could have taken, making sure he ends up paying a higher rate than the Obamas.
I wouldn't doubt that the Obamas made sure they ended up paying a higher rate than the WH secretary judging by how much the campaign has been touting the Buffett rule this week.

Were they full-time house keepers for the Romneys?

The story doesn't say, either way.

You would think with three houses, even if they devote a day of housekeeping to each of them once a week, would be a 60 percent a week job. That should be anywhere from $24-$36K, according to the Boston agencies. Not $20K.

Minimum wage in Mass. is $8.00 an hour which figures out to $16,000 a year (presuming 2 unpaid weeks vacation).
