Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, made an appearance Friday at an Omaha-area fundraiser for her husband.

She had scheduled interviews with The World-Herald and other reporters but canceled after controversy erupted this week over her comments to a public radio station in Iowa about her husband's Republican critics.

She said the critics from within Romney's party needed to "stop it," that campaigning was hard and that they were welcome to run if they thought they could do better.

She appeared at the luncheon, $250-per-plate fundraiser at the Embassy Suites and La Vista Conference Center. The event was closed to reporters.

5. What's next $20 at a Motel Six?

I'm sorry, but if Mitt is sending her out to the Embassy Suites for $250 a pop, I hope he's not shaking her down for all of it.

7. If you watched SNL That's like.....

10 Quarters per plate, Pretty low for Queen Ann, She must need
fresh hay for her million dollar horse, or a raise for the hired help.

9. "closed to reporters" and no doubt the Help was frisked for cell phones. nt

[eyewall]

11. c'mon now, stop it.

this is hard.

[CitizenPatriot]

12. So Mitt was right

people get sick of Queenie. They're used to hiding her. They had to do it back when he was running for senate too. SO HARD. WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

14. This woman makes Laura Bush look like Joan of Arc

Although, in all honesty, I never had an issue with Pickles other than that she was an enabler for the moran she married.

Poor thing.

[central scrutinizer]

15. closer to Barbara Bush

now, there was one nasty FLOTUS. No wonder her spawn are all such assholes.

19. Great quote from Richard Nixon (I know, I know...)

Referring to Babs he said "Now there's a woman who KNOWS how to hate."

16. Looks like the $50K/plate donors are drying up. Poor Queen Ann & Lord Rmoney!

Break into your own millions and create some jobs for your base, why don't you?

18. A search of the Omaha news stations, shows the media dismissed her appearance.

The news stations were promoting her coming to Nebraska, and normally, there would be a nice little story about her visit, but not a word, except for the incident with the plane.

20. Can shouting with a bullhorn outside Wal-Mart be far behind??

Collection bucket for customers as they go in and out...might make a few bucks that way.

21. I cannot wait until that entitled, self-aggrandized, bitch fades from memory.

That horrible Ann Romney has no idea what it really means to be a young and hungry college student.

Most of us have one or more reasons identifying why she is not like us, and just mocks us instead.

[spiderpig]

22. Say it, Quantess!

When I think of that entitled hag (oh, did she mention she has MS?) I just want to barf. Not demeaning people who have MS, but I have an equally disabling condition, NOT in remission, and have to worry about a mortgage, keeping my feeble health insurance, and thinking about how to pay my well-over-13% taxes.

She makes me sick.

[underpants]

23. "This is hard!"

[nobodyspecial]

24. Boy, I need to wake my brain up. This is what I saw.

Ann Romney visits Obama fundraiser.

25. Lol!

I saw the same thing. Had to rub my eyes.
