Ann's trying to make them look like plain old folk again

[meadowlark5]

Anny was on Rachel Ray communing with the little people of America

"I always start at Costco," Romney said on the "Rachel Ray Show" today as the audience watched pre-taped video of her pushing an over-sized grocery cart at the bulk-goods store.

Zooming around the store that she' didn't name by location, Romney grabbed large bags of spinach, several containers of frozen cream puffs and pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.

"The great thing about frozen desserts, they're always ready to go," Romney gushed.

For roughly $4.50 per person - a $137.50 tab - Romney can feed all five sons and their families, a total of 30 people, she said.

Then she said how Mitt will cut to the front of the buffet line at holidays. Sounds about right - me first, it's all about me

1. course we believe she does the shopping--oh, that's right, she even bought that cardboard cutout

three shirts at costco (has anybody told her they are a fairly blue company??)

2. oh what fucking shit

For roughly $4.50 per person - a $137.50 tab - Romney can feed all five sons and their families, a total of 30 people, she said.

13. They undoubtedly spend alot of these special dinners

discussing the "little people" and the "good food they can get very cheaply." Pompous asses, that's all they are

[meadowlark5]

3. She probably just moved a decimal in the $4.50

It probably is more like $45.00 per person. I can't imagine those Romney's eating rotisserie chicken from Costco. Unless they're rotisserie cornish game hen.

4. Blows my mind that they think his behavior . . .

. . . is cute. The whole family acts so odd.

So, does Costco sell Paint-Chip Rocky Road Ice Cream?? Just plain weird . . .

Welcome to DU!

[Skittles]

5. I cannot fucking stand her

I'll say it again: we don't hate you because you're rich; we hate you because you are clueless assholes

[grasswire]

6. the Romney family should take the food stamp challenge

About $20 per person for a week.

[justabob]

12. really

4.50 per person? for one meal? I read that and did a double take. She thinks she's being thrifty and smart. I know they don't have to pinch pennies like a lot of us, but damn....

[hrmjustin]

7. Gop women will eat this crap up. I don't understand it.

[imanamerican63]

8. Mitt went to Home Depot, too!!!!!

He brought a gold handle shovel which cost 7.9 million dollars!!!!!!!! I can't understand why they try to look normal, when we all know otherwise? If they would be who they really are, maybe they would be a good family and people might like them?

9. Did someone help her with a rehearsal? how to push the cart, how to pick things from shelves

21. Making fun of MS as an illness is NOT okay.

I can't stand Ann Romney either, but as a person with MS, I find your comment to be insensitive at best. I luckily don't have too many issues with the disease, but what many people don't know is that MS is an invisible disease for the most part. She may not be physically crippled RIGHT NOW, but it could happen to her (or to me) at any time. It really sucks when your nervous system goes against you.

In any event, I think she is a nasty, unlikeable person, but I won't make fun of her disease.

[DonRedwood]

22. I can be quite insensitive but I try to do the right thing when it is pointed out to me.

comment removed.

My best wishes for your health.
Don

23. Thanks.

Hopefully it will continue as it is now... I was almost 60 when diagnosed, which is unusual.

[handmade34]

10. even if

she does shop at Costco... that's not the point the Romneys have every option available to them... when she really is forced to budget, then I will listen


...and what in hell are they trying to save money for??? just so it doesn't trickle down to the "little people"??? I can't take her (or the rest of them) seriously

[DonViejo]

11. His cutting to the head of the buffet line with his family might reflect his

religious beliefs. He's the patriarch of the Romney tribe, he's entitled.

[sheshe2]

14. Costco

Didn't the CEO of Costco just endorse Obama a short time ago? I know I saw that somewhere recently.

Wow and to think the Annie and The King of Siam really embrace us commoners!

[meadowlark5]

16. Yes, the owner of Costco is an Obama supporter

Even says it in the article too.

Nice that the Romney's can give money to Costco so he can donate to the Obama Victory Fund :lol:

[sadbear]

17. I'd like to see them photoshopped on American Gothic.

Now get it done!

[sadbear]

24. I found this:

[badhair77]

18. Why is SHE shopping at Costco?

Why aren't they, the job creators that they say they are, creating some household jobs for others at their estates? I'm calling BS on her whole story.

[txdemsftw]

19. LOL

I was just coming here to post this 'story'...

I just commented about this being nothing more than FAKE FLUFF BULLSHIT!

Ann trying to act like she actually does any of the shopping or cooking..my ass. What a fake.

[TeamPooka]

20. when I see "rich folk" shopping like that I think they are fools. WHY ARE YOU RICH!

if you want to live cheap and do it yourself go ahead and give 90% of your money away not just 10.
If I had a quarter billion dollars I would be hiring people to do stuff for me all the time just to get rid of it in a good way.
And I'm lazy....
You want me to take out the trash honey?
okay...I've got a guy for that....
Hey Rick take out the trash...

[progressivebydesign]

25. what a fucking liar. nt
