Uncut and Unencumbered?

EWWWWWWWW!

If ever there was a headline that was absolutely guaranteed to nauseate all but the one percenters and hard core brain-free crowd, this might well be it. Still, I bought the paper and read the article. Why? As much as these utterly clueless, untalented, self involved, obscenely rich pools of reptile snot offend my not-so-delicate sensibilities, I had to look. Train Wreck Syndrome don’cha know.

By the end of the first chapter of Ann Romney’s new book, you learn that she has had a miscarriage, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and that husband Mitt worried about intimacy issues with his wife.

Lesse…

• She’s had a miscarriage. Huh, just like up to 25% of us regular women.
• She was diagnosed with a heavy duty condition. Yep, that’s rough. I know. Believe me, I know.
• The Mittster worried that he wouldn’t get nookie anymore. Yup, she’s married to an incredibly narcissistic, selfish, self entitled piece of re-chewed dog vomit.

But she loves him and had five sons by him—of course. She had to stick by him and pop out the bairn lest she miss her shot at Mormon Heaven.

‘You know something? I am not afraid of anything anymore. Nothing intimidates me.’

That’s lovely dear. Glad you came to that point.

Very few people have the financial resources that this woman has. Her multiple sclerosis is in remission now. Good for her. She’s 66 years old and, unless her health makes an unexpected, sudden nosedive, she’ll live a full, very comfortable life. Good for her.

She explained that the book is not just for those suffering from MS, but for any others facing struggles.

Oh rilly? Even us in the cheap seats who she's referred to as you people? How in Bast’s name can anyone outside of the One Percenters Club relate to her struggles? The vast majority of us have to work full time WHILE we tackle our major health issues, care for our families and, ya know, clean our own damn houses.

…she and her husband told the Obamas to “start packing,” because in Ann’s words, “It’s Mitt’s time. It’s our turn now,” to live in the White House.

Mister Oblivious

 “It’s our turn now” This woman just kills me. She became known as Ann Romney Antoinette for good reason.

The biggest legacy Mitt left as governor was making Massachusetts the first state to mandate health insurance — Romneycare before there was Obamacare. She believes her struggle with MS helped Mitt understand the importance of health care for all.

“I take no credit for Romneycare, but I’m glad that I was part of Mitt’s motivation and determination to create and implement it,” she writes. “Perhaps my MS had a small but real influence.”

Could be, could be but let’s be crystal clear about this. Romney's biggest contribution to healthcare reform in Massachusetts was vetoing benefits for those with low income as well as seniors and disabled legal immigrants. You know, healthcare for me but not for thee—you peasants!

I could go on. I won’t. This woman disgusts me. And WHAT was The Globe thinking? Do they NOT know their audience at all? This was front page, above the fold. Slow news day maybe? Were they counting on a lot of enraged readers to part with a buck fifty?

It worked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stand corrected. Apparently the Mittster did more than just veto bennies for the poor. A lot more actually. He, (not alone by a long shot BUT he was fully on board), got Romney-care up and happening before he tried to shut down access for for those in great need.

AND Ann worked for/in a bunch 'o' children's charities while she was First Lady of Massachusetts. She didn't just stay home ordering the servants around. GOOD!

Lastly, in her quest for health she explored alternative medicine:
She has partaken of reflexology, acupuncture, and craniosacral therapy, and has said, "There is huge merit in both Eastern and Western medicine, and I've taken a little bit from both."  

I imagine her example in this regard may help others.
