Ann: "They're burning," she muttered through clenched teeth to an unseen minion

[kpete]

"After raising five boys, I'm ready for anything!" cried an enthusiastic Romney, catching a football and wearing a hot pink jacket as the camera announced her presence at 8am. But the best thing about live television is you can't always follow a script.

"They're burning," she muttered through clenched teeth to an unseen minion, seconds later, not realizing she was on camera. "You can turn the griddle down."

That was the first and last we saw of the Welsh cakes.

Instead her first segment is a forgettable interview with the losers of last night's Dancing With the Stars. DWTS is not having a good season on ABC, so if the wife of a residential candidate can help get the show some viewers – great. I'm not sure Romney sitting formally in her signature red shirt-dress asking singer Drew Lachey: "How did you like your scoring on the cha-cha?" will really bring it home. But she tried.

1. It's hard to raise children with all the housekeepers, chefs, laundresses, maids, gardeners, valets,

automobile elevators, etc.

2. Impossible to find good help these days.

3. You mean all that staff not listed on their tax returns?

Or maybe Rafalca just kept the stables clean herself.
