Election 2012 Wife of Quarter-Billionaire: "We can be poor in spirit...I don't even consider myself wealthy"
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 3:30 PM
Turns out, Ann Romney is just as awkward as Mitt Romney when it comes to talking about wealth. Notice the forced laugh after she says she and her quarter-billionaire husband "can be poor in spirit." She clearly knows she fucked up, and so what does she do? She steals a page from her husband's playbook and digs herself an even deeper hole, saying: "I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing, I—I—I—it can be here today and gone tomorrow." You're going to keep seeing this clip between now and November, I promise:
