It was suggested to me yesterday that, based on the speed of the Axelrod/Michelle twitter reactions that this could well have been a set up rather than an accident. A remark offensive only to some, which allowed the administration to take the high ground by criticizing one of their operatives, while opening the issue for their allies in the media.

A “Sistah Soljah” moment then?

[ilgipper]

It was intentional other than than words ‘never worked a day in her liefe’, which will be used to browbeat the democrats for the next six months. The rest was right off the script.

A mother of five, who beat cancer and battled MS is going to be hard to demonize. She is a lot more like a typical suburban voter than the scowling Michelle who does not connect at all with suburban women.

Whenever I am in a waiting room and see slime magazine, I manage to put in the TRASH in the men’s room, where it belongs.

[exit82]

I firmly believe this was a set-up.

Someone as high up and connected to the WH does not wildly go off message without clearance.

All of this Hilary Rosen bashing by Obama, Biden, Axelrod, etc. was already planned and is being doen with a wink, wink, nod, nod.

It gives Zero and the Dems the opportunity to appear like knights in shing armor while at the same time using their criticism as a platform to launch into an attack on the
GOP war against women.

It’s another Charlie Brown and Lucy holding the football moment that the GOP never,ever sees coming.

They are laughing their @sses off in the WH over this.

So predictable.

What does a North Korean missile launch and Hilary Roesen's career have in common?

....

Same trajectory.

[econjack]

Sixty-five percent of the public even now believes that preschool children are not likely to suffer if their mothers work outside the home.

Bull crap! I really don't care what the public "believes", because most of the time they're wrong. Indeed, Obozo wouldn't be President if they believed the truth. Like they say, I'd agree with the BS presented in this article, but then we'd both be wrong.

[Lady Lucky]

I am “out of touch” with Ann Romney. I know almost nothing about her and don’t want to.
Making her the victim of any attack, just makes people step up to defend her, which leads to sympathy and possibly support of the Romney candidacy.
It’s engineered to help Romney.
Let’s not fall for it.

[TomGuy]

Media are trying to throw Rosen a lifeline.

Administration have already thrown Rosen under the bus.

[F&F showed a timeline of this ‘crisis’. Within 20 minutes of Rosen’s original comment, Twitter was all a tweet. Within a hour, even the WH was distancing themselves from this disaster.]

[NautiNurse]

this could well have been a set up rather than an accident.

Doubt it. When Carney tried to deflect by saying he personally knows three women named Hilary-with-one-L Rosen, and she (single L Hilary) has visited the White House 35 times, they are in full damage control mode.

[Westbrook]

> Hilary Rosen Was Right: Ann Romney Is Out of Touch with Most Women

Yes, and we know that lesbian CommiecRAT Hilary Rosen, $350K per year political earmark Mooshelle, and Judith Warner, the author of this trashy hit piece, are “in touch” with “most women”.

Right.

[vicar7]

True Ann is not like most other women she has raised 5 kids while learning she has MS and still is not playing the victim card.

[GOPJ]

“Time” is quickly stepping in to cushion a potential blow for Democrats? I’m shocked.../s

[SouthTexas]

I tend to disagree. I this whole crew is given credit for far more intelligence than they actually possess.

If you are in doubt, what has this administration done that has actually worked or was beneficial to the country as a whole?

[Timber Rattler]

So how many kids has Judith Warner here raised?

[humblegunner]

Hilary Rosen pointedly questioned Ann Romney’s fitness to serve as her husband’s ambassador on women’s economic issues.

So Romney said he listens to his wife about women's views on economy.

That doesn't necessarily mean Ann Romney. He might have meant one of the other ones.

[Christie at the beach]

People have to admit-people like the Romneys do not have a normal life like most of the average joes have- like worrying about rent payments/paying bills on time/getting kids clothes/school books..they have maids-gardeners-chefs-chaffeurs special elevators for their cars :) Ann Romney probably does not associate with people who are not in her spouse's income earnings. She reminds me somewhat of a Martha Stewart type. Been nice to see her show grace not running to Fox and a twitter fight. She would do anything to help Mitt as what we are seeing. Imo.

[Candor7]

[Bainbridge]

Pretty obvious. The idea is now in people’s minds. While the Campaign can pretend it did not do it.
The Republicans are entirely inept: no match for the Chicago Thugs. You run Ken and Barbie, with a weird religion and tons of money ? You have to be insane.

[John 3_19-21]

On some of these social issues the GOP should just use the "give them enough rope" strategy.

The thing about evil idiots is they tend to get more stupid the more you let them talk.

a daughter of privilege who became wealthier still while married to Mitt

New Rules: As children of privilege, any member of the Kennedy clan is now "out of touch" with their respective gender, and any gender-related statement or public policy by same member(s) should be publicly ridiculed and then disregarded as nonsense.

Same goes for Chelsea Clinton, Alexandra Pelosi, the Obama daughters, and [insert name of wealthy Liberal family here].
