Ann Romney wasn’t so foolish as to pretend to have been wounded by Rosen’s remarks, either; that’s why God made surrogates, which the campaign sent out to do so in her stead, on behalf of mothers everywhere.
It doesn’t seem to have hurt her any to have been caught celebrating Rosen’s remarks in semi-private. It probably won’t, either, because after President Obama and half of his campaign team rushed to say spouses should be off limits, they’re not about to double back and make a big deal of it.
But milking it any further is not a good plan for the Romneys, either — and I hope they won’t try to spin comedian (and self-funded Green Party presidential candidate) Roseanne Barr’s rude and baseless speculation about how much help Ann Romney had while raising her five sons as anything other than a bid for attention.
