I’ll admit it. I’m a “new media” addict. I haven’t turned on a MSM channel or subscribed to a newspaper in years, and yet I’m more informed than I’ve ever been in my entire life. From morning till night, armed with my Walkman radio and my key board, I’m what Laura Ingraham describes as an “aggressive news consumer”. My morning starts with Laura’s show, which leads into Rush, who leads into Glenn Beck’s radio show, who leads into Sean Hannity’s radio show, who leads into Britt Hume, who leads into Glenn Becks CNN tv show, who leads into O’Reilly, who leads into Hannity & Colmes. In between, I’m surfing the web, hitting up all my favorite blogs, and usually by midnight, I’ve consumed a fair assessment of the days news. I thank God for radio talk shows, the internet, and the demise of the stranglehold that the left has had on the media and the news we receive. I applaud the death of the Dinosaur Media and will dance upon it’s grave when it finally dies off.

As Electromneyin2008.com (this sites owner) is constantly updating with up-to-the-minute election news with the help of several wonderful contributors, finding unique content for WomenforRomney is a challenge. I will, however, try my best. During the course of any one day, some things stick and some things don’t, whether it be for informative or entertainment value. On this particular day, it was a call into Rush Limbaugh’s show that stuck with me……

The day after Mitt Romney’s Michigan Primary win, several women called into Rush’s radio show. Rush was taken by surprise by their enthusiasm and the depth of their knowledge of Mitt Romney as a candidate. Mitt was their “guy”, and they were brimming with excitement that Michigan had given him a pretty resounding nod of the head, with a strong conservative/republican vote for the win. After several calls, Rush realized that these women callers all had a deep admiration for Mitt Romney; not only as a candidate, but as a husband, a father, and businessman. Rush took three calls, and they all went similar to this:

RUSH: “I’m wondering — it’s hard to say this with three calls in one busy broadcast — but I wonder if we’re uncovering something here that’s being missed, and that is that there’s this army of women who apparently are really drawn to Romney…..You’re right, you are the third babe today that’s just going on and on and on about Mitt Romney. It’s all based on policy, right, it’s not based on how he looks?”

CALLER: It is based on policy, yes. He’s a very good-looking man — but it is based on policy, because we women who are true conservative –Republicans — and comfortable in our own skin — and would never vote for anybody based on gender or race, want to listen to what these candidates are saying.”

RUSH: “What do you think of his wife and family?”

CALLER: “I think that he has a lovely wife and five beautiful sons and daughters-in-law and grandchildren. He comes across as a very wholesome American. More important than that, though, is for us to begin to see that he believes in Americans’ ability to use their own mind and ingenuity, to produce the best ideas and products, and hope that the government would just step aside and allow the free market system to work and let our government just continue to protect us so that we remain the strongest country in protecting freedom and homeland security and the war on terror, and I — ”

RUSH: “Let’s get to the character side. I’m running out of time. Does Romney, to you, exude a powerful morality?”

CALLER: “He exudes the most powerful morality I have seen in any candidate.”

RUSH: “This is fascinating. Ruth, I can’t thank you enough.”

CALLER: I thank you, Rush, and just keep up the wonderful work. My husband and I listen to you every day, and we love you, and just keep that faith, because there are Republican conservatives out there who will prove who the true candidate will be, and I believe it will be Romney.”

RUSH: “We have decided to come up with a name for you babes who are smitten with Mitt Romney, first of many, but this works: Mittens. We’re going to refer to you as Mittens.”

I guess in Rush’s world, that makes me a “Mitten”.  It’s a title I can definitely live with….it’s comfortable and it fits.

In an interview with Sean Hannity, aired on Fox News yesterday, Mitt Romney made a serious mistake. During the course of a discussion about the qualifications of Hillary Clinton, he used the word “intern.” Not only that, but he used it to make a valid point that had nothing to do with her husband or embarrasing public scandals.

What he said was, “And I think the greatest drawback, beyond the direction she’d take us, is that she’s never run anything. She’s never had the occasion of being in the private sector running a business or, for that matter, running a state or a city. She hasn’t run anything.

And the government of the United States is not a place for a president to be an intern. You need to have experience actually leading and running things.”

So the Clinton tag team did what it does best. It got offended.

On MSNBC Live this morning, Andrea Mitchell decided to ask Howard Wolfson, a Clinton insider, about the comment and Romney’s intent.

Mitchell: “This is not the first time he’s used the word ‘intern’ in reference to Senator Clinton’s alleged lack of qualifications, so it’s an intentional point. Do you think he’s trying to provoke her by using that?”

WOLFSON: “I think it’s unfortunate. You know, Hillary Clinton is a two-term United States senator. She has represented this country abroad in dozens and dozens of countries. She’s been a — an advocate for families and children, one of the nation’s foremost advocates for families and children for 35 years. And so, you know, Mitt Romney wants to engage in a campaign of insults, that’s his choice. Americans want to hear issues and ideas and not these kind of insults.”

Pointing out Hillary Clinton, or any other presidential candidates lack of experience is not an insult. It goes directly to the heart of the issue. Certain lessons are best learned by the hard knocks of experience. Do we really want a president learning those lessons with the fate of the nation hanging in the balance? Hillary’s accomplishments are meager. Her resume for President of the United States is remarkably bare. Some would argue that it is blank. Even her most ardent supporters cannot offer up an instance where she has successfully implemented a policy or drafted a piece of legislation.

Instead, they rely on the image of her as a “battered woman;” a victim of male brutality and oppression. Whenever the slightest hint of criticism hits the airwaves, Clinton and her supporters are there to reassure us that her opponents would only do this because she is a woman, because they hated her husband, or because they just want to revel in the smut of her family’s dirty laundry.

As it turns out, there really aren’t too many succinct ways to describe a person who takes a job in order to gain work experience. These days, in the United States of America, the common term for such a person is an “intern.” It was this point that Romney was trying to illustrate when he used the word. The nasty pictures it conjured were all painted by the Clintons and their friends.
