Ann Romney Should Sass Off More Often

In politics, breaking points are inevitable, and prospective first lady Ann Romney had hers last week when she announced to haters, 'Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring.' It was quite a lot of sass from the usually composed woman, who has had a many occasion to lash out and fight back. Perhaps an aggressive response was what people wanted after all, as the mother of five just told Jay Leno that she received praise and 'high-fives' for her much-discussed remark. Some opined that she shouldn't get snippy, but I think hostility is what she has needed to demonstrate all along. Ann will not continue to be pushed around, and while it's good to ignore nastiness at times, it's also helpful to stick up for oneself, and that's what she finally decided to do when she went off about Romney opponents.

In retrospect, she worries she was too effusive:

'I stepped out of the interview and I'm like, oh dear,' Romney told Leno during his Tuesday show. 'Everyone I've seen is like, giving me high-fives. I will tell you, Jay that four years ago, it's a hard thing to do this, especially being the wife and having to listen to this all the time. Four years ago I made a videotape, and on the videotape I looked in the camera and I said, 'Mitt, this is for you sweetheart. I'm never doing this again.' I showed it to him and he said, 'You know Ann, you say that after every pregnancy.' Which is true!'

Romney, of course, has five grown boys. I don't know whether the election is starting to wear on her or if she's truly sick of the constant flow of criticism, but Romney should show her less-than-composed side more often. A lot of people have complained time and time again that the Romney clan is hard to relate to, but if Ann expresses herself a bit more, others will see that the Romneys really are human.

  How long before all of the media outlets start questioning why Ann Rmoney is such an Angry White Woman like they did about Michele Obama for [NOT] being an Angry Black Woman? I guess it is okay for Ann Romney to be angry and bossy and elitist.
