Ann Romney's Condesencion Toward "You People"

The sense of entitlement and a mindset that the rules that apply to others don't apply to Mitt ans Ann Romney was underscored by an incredible stupid and arrogant statement made by Ann Romney in an interview where the subject of Mitt Romney's hidden tax returns came up.  Her response?    “We’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life,” Yep, that right, the disdain and contempt is evident.  "You people." That's how Ann Romney views the media and apparently the American voters at large.  I'd suggest that Mitt tell his wife to keep her mouth shut and focus on her ultra-expensive horse and the Olympics.   Either that or Ms. Romney changer her name to "Marie Antoinette" Romney.  Here are highlights from Politico on Ann Romney's haughty condescension and contempt for the "little people":

Ann Romney dismissed concerns about her husband’s tax returns Thursday, contending that the two of them have “given all you people need to know.”

“You know, you should really look at where Mitt has led his life, and where he’s been financially,” the potential first lady said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “He’s a very generous person. We give 10 percent of our income to our church every year. Do you think that is the kind of person who is trying to hide things, or do things? No. He is so good about it. Then, when he was governor of Massachusetts, didn’t take a salary for four years.”

“We’ve given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life,” she added later.

Ann Romney may try to portray herself as an average "stay at home mom", but she's anything but that.  Shes a spoiled, rich, self-centered bitch who fritters away more on her horse than most families earn in a year's time.  She went on in the interview to talk about the lavish contributions she and her husband make to their church - conveniently ignoring the anti-gay bigotry, latent racism and other other forms of prejudice and discrimination that part and parcel with the Mormon Church.  The woman truly strikes me as a latter day version of Marie Antoinette, wife of King Louis XVI of France, although the comparison is probably an insult to Marie Antoinette.  

Catholic League: Democrats Must Nix "Offensive" Blogs

Professional self-nominated victim and disingenuous whiner, Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, has sent out an press release on behalf of the League having a hissy fit over the fact that the Democratic National Convention has granted credentials to two blogs that do not kiss the Roman Catholic Church's corrupt, disingenuous ass. The two blogs are Bitch Ph.D., which looks at current events from a feminist perspective, and Towleroad, a gay blog which I have had linked in my blog roll for almost the entire life of this blog. Here are some highlights from Bill "Let's Kiss the Pope's Ass" Donohue's hyperventilating:

*

The two most offensive are Bitch Ph.D. and Towleroad. “On the home page of Bitch Ph.D. there is a picture of two children: one of them is shown flashing his middle finger. Today’s lead post, which was written August 17, is called ‘Jesus Christ.’ It begins with, ‘I’m a really crappy Catholic who hasn’t been to mass in ages because most parishes around here ‘will’ insist on being aggressively anti-abortion….’

*

“Towleroad describes itself as ‘A Site with Homosexual Tendencies.’ Accordingly, it shows men in jock straps and underwear. It also has a post on Pope Benedict XVI that takes him to task for wearing a cape with ermine. Some of those who commented on this described the pope in a vile and profane way.

*

“Both of these blogs should be cut immediately from the list of credentialed sites. Neither functions as a responsible media outlet and both offend Catholics, as well as others. To allow them access to the Democratic National Convention sends a message to Catholics they will not forget. We look for Leah Daughtry, CEO of the Convention, to nix them ASAP.”

*

If Donohue doesn't like Towleroad, I guess he'd have an aneurysm if he read this blog, although the blog has had at least two visitors from Vatican City (Were they viewing the "male beauty photos? Or gathering evidence for a decree of excommunication?). To fix this problem, I sent the Catholic League the following e-mail:

*

I would suggest that if Catholic League president, Bill Donohue, spent as much time and effort demanding a thorough house cleaning of the Catholic Church hierarchy of those bishops and cardinals who facilitated or covered up the sexual abuse of minors, the Catholic League might me taken more seriously by thinking, rational individuals. His disingenuous cries of anti-Catholic discrimination, etc., truly are getting old. Particularly when the League continues to kiss the posteriors of a corrupt hierarchy many members of which sold out children and youth to "protect the Church".

*

The Church's refusal to hold bishops and cardinals accountable was the final straw in my decision to leave the Church. Sadly, I believe only large numbers of Catholics leaving the Church for other less corrupt denominations will bring the much needed changes the Church needs so desperately.

Needless to say, I'm not holding my breath for a response. :)
