Ann Romney blames the media, naturally, for their loss.

"Mitt can just never do anything wrong!"

Ann Romney says that she blames the media for her husband's loss in the 2012 presidential election because the "universally felt opinion" is that reporters wanted President Barack Obama to be re-elected.

"I'm happy to blame the media," Ann Romney told Fox News host Chris Wallace in an interview that aired on Sunday.

That ugly self-entitled attitude was so clear coming from you, that even those inclined to believe one or more of Mitt's many personas and reversals over the years, knew better after hearing it from YOU.

I may still believe that Mitt was his own worst enemy, but damn if Ann didn't come a close second.

I often wonder whether some of these Repubs get the irony of
their statements when something happens to them that they don't like.
It couldn't possibly have anything to do with them, or their views, or their
actions, or their beliefs. It MUST be someone else's fault.

Yet they never tire of blaming people who have had tough lives with
'not taking responsibility' for themselves.

Did Mitt really, really, really want to be president, or, as YOUR SON CLAIMS, "I have never seen anyone who really DIDN'T want to be president more".

then go buy yourself another new Cadillac. It will make you feel better, and of course it's all about you, Ann. Poor thing, you have it so bad. The mean media told lies about your wonderful hubby, who just wanted to fix the country after the Democrats screwed it up so bad.

Empathy coming in 1...2...3...

...nope, no empathy. Karma sucks, Mrs. Rmoney. Have you ever thought about the families your husband's vulture capital company put out on the street over the years? Didn't think so. Now shut the hell up, we're all so undeserving of your attention.

I sometimes have wondered if, had he been elected, would he have been as far right a president as he was trying to portray on the campaign trail. Mind you, I'm happy not to be finding out. However, frankly, it was Ann Romney and her attitude of "it's ours" that completely turned me off.

Ann makes women look bad.

As a couple they make the human race look bad.

Fortunately we have Pres. Obama and his first lady. They redeem the human race.

Confirms did not have what it takes to be a first lady, but a commentator on Fox, yes.

Attempt 2: Deny that you ever wanted to win. See comments from Tagg or Tap or Trois or whatever their idiot son's name was

Attempt 3 (the old standby): Blame the media.

Off to watch "The Evolution of Mom Dancing" again to wash the thought of this vile creature from my mind. Go crawl back under your rock, Ann. And, take your putrid husband and your five rancid demonspawn with you.
