I wouldn’t blame the poor woman for spending at least as much on her hobby as His Headship is burning on his!

Excellent point. Mitt’s spent how many millions on his political career(read: ego) by now? He may have been the breadwinner, but who do we think took care of the family and the house? More honest work besides.

You know you are dealing with people who have way, way too much money when wifey can have a hobby so expensive that a single unit of it costs more than most folk’s rent, but hubby/moneymaker has no idea how many units he is paying for.

True story: When Willard starting running for governor, he bragged that his wife thought going back to Massachusetts would have a bad effect on her health, but as a virtuous Mormon wife she understood that “submitting to the headship of her husband” was no less than God required. And, while Mitt could certainly have become governor of Utah on the strength of his Olympic “triumph”, he felt called to make a difference in Massachusetts. (Translation: Governing Squarestate Moroni-Land isn’t a natural stepping stone for a presidential run.) His PR handlers shut him up on the topic eventually, but Willard never did understand that normal non-sociopathic humans wouldn’t consider this biographical tidbit a net positive for his political campaign…

I assume that Ann’s grasp of her Mormon faith precludes her setting stacks of hundred-dollar bills on fire in her living room, but I wouldn’t blame the poor woman for spending at least as much on her hobby as His Headship is burning on his!

So since I refuse to think that Edwards should move into a smaller house or Gore should take a skateboard, I’m also going to say that I hope Ann Romney enjoys her dressage. When I’ve seen it, it seems truly insipid and boring, but what do I know. I’d prefer to see her barrel racing, but what I really want to do is post that old picture of Katherine Harris once again. <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=katherine+harris+horseback" rel="nofollow">gis for katherine harris horseback</a></p> Sigh, any of our candidates with the exception of Mike Gravel could probably afford this.
