Fox News's Juan Williams Calls Ann Romney a 'Corporate Wife'

(CNSNews.com) - As part of its Tuesday night convention coverage, Fox News assembled a panel of political analysts to discuss Ann Romney's speech. Charles Krauthammer called it a "triumph," and Brit Hume said it was "the single most effective political speech I’ve ever heard given by a political wife."

But their fellow panelist Juan Williams -- a Democrat -- panned Mrs. Romney's effort to connect with women, describing her as a "corporate wife" whose claim to understand the struggles of American women fell flat.

"Ann Romney ... looked to me like a corporate wife. The stories she told about struggles — eh! It's hard for me to believe. I mean, she's a very rich woman, and I know that, and America knows that."

This disgusting racist needs to go back to NPR or MSNBC. I'll be grabbing the remote control from now on when I see him come on the screen.

He has a point some what, I personally would have like to have had a working husband of a candidate like Todd Palin instead, but you have to go with what you have. Its the hand we’ve been dealt.

“A Corporate Wife”!!! The HORROR!!! is she worse then the devil??

seriously , not knowing much about Mitt or his CW, My wife and I really enjoyed her speech. She seems pretty bright and well spoken...

She was also easy on the eyes... :)

But I am sure Mrs Zero has TONS more real world experience and is much closer to my life*

And what is wrong with being a corporate wife?

To be fair to Williams, I have heard many people on both right and left denigrate women who have chosen to be helpmates to their husband’s career.

Well, you'll be grabbing it a lot, and I'm doing the same. Since Juan was ditched by NPR and became more full time on Fox, he seems to pop up on almost every program throughout the day, taking the liberal side. Actually, I used to think he was fairly tolerable for a liberal, but now he's on too often and it's easy to become tired of seeing him. He's definitely overexposed, whatever a viewer might think of his commentary.

I thought the most insulting thing Juan said came when he was pressed by Megyn Kelly to explain what he meant by “corporate wife. Juan answered, “She looks like a woman whose husband takes care of her.”

Juan Williams job is to give the left line. Fox brings him and people like Alan Colmes in to maintain their “fair and balanced” slogan. Often, I don’t think they believe what they are saying, but that is what they get paid to do.

Juan only understands one thing. She is white.

If women truly stood up for their dignity, there would be a huge condemnation of this disgusting remark. What a POS Juan is.

Juan Williams continues to bite the hand [Fox] that feeds him. He should be fired for this ... immediately.

Unreal. Juan has been becoming more and more angry of late. Anny Romney is classy...... Something the Libs don't understand or can relate to. They are use to pig mouthed Rosie, Barbara, collection of Sex in the city elites, who drink, party and have sex with many people. So I can understand why Juan and his like minded people can not relate to what a honest, normal Mom is all about. I flip the tv channel when Juan or Shep are on FNC. If I want that kind of opinion I can watch NBC, CBS,CNN,MSNBC. They have lost me!

Juan provides FOX with the left-leaning side it needs for some ‘balance’

Otherwise we would need to switch channels and expose ourselves to (*shudder*) Rachel Maddow or (*cringe*) Big Ed on MSNBC or something

“A corporate wife.”

Oh the horrors, Juan. She supports her husband. How dare she?
