I can't watch her. But I think its wrong to ascribe such strongly negative characteristics to her (and others similarly situated.)

She's wrong, and speaking lies aboutr President Obama, but she's doing her job, as being married to him.

I don't think Mitt would let her smoke, she probably has them from using her judgmental face too much.

4. She's known only privilege and an insular upbringing.

She needs not know anything else, thanks to Citizens United.

If I were the Romney campaign, I would keep her under wraps at this point.

5. And if she wasn't, the RNC would be sending personnel to coach her in meanness

like Mean Jean Schmidt. Republicans insist that everyone in their world be self-centered, vile, and hateful. It's part of their view of a successful society being based on self-interest and the law of the jungle.

8. I don't have a problem going after Ann

Republicans went after Hillary when Bill Clinton ran. So they laid the ground rules, a long time ago. But, for her to be the attack dog means she is fair game.
Plus, Obama still hasn't done 10% of what Romney did to the other Republican during the primaries. But, she would do best to keep her mouth shut. Just like Romney even when she is trying to sound like a regular person she comes across as a rich spoiled valley girl.

What are the odds that the two people on earth completely devoid of empathy or human emotion would meet and procreate.

There is a plot line in which a troll enchants the king (Uther) into making her heir to Camelot, etc.
by taking a potion to change her appearance. In the end, everyone can tell she is a troll except [strike through]Mitt[/strike through], er... Uther
