Fox News's Juan Williams Calls Ann Romney a 'Corporate Wife'

CNSNews.com) - As part of its Tuesday night convention coverage, Fox News assembled a panel of political analysts to discuss Ann Romney's speech. Charles Krauthammer called it a "triumph," and Brit Hume said it was "the single most effective political speech I’ve ever heard given by a political wife."

But their fellow panelist Juan Williams -- a Democrat -- panned Mrs. Romney's effort to connect with women, describing her as a "corporate wife" whose claim to understand the struggles of American women fell flat.

"Ann Romney ... looked  to me like a corporate wife. The stories she told about struggles — eh!  It's hard for me to believe. I mean, she's a very rich woman, and I know  that, and America knows that."

Pressed by Fox News anchor Megyn  Kelly to explain what he meant, Williams said, "What does it mean? It  looks like a woman whose husband takes care of her, and she's been very  lucky and blessed in this life," Williams replied. "She's not speaking, I  think, for the tremendous number of single women in this country or  married women. She did not convince me that, 'You know what, I  understand the struggles of American women in general.'"

                                    TAMPA, FL—Ann Romney shocked the crowd at the Tampa Bay Times Forum into silence Tuesday, announcing during her remarks to the Republican National Convention that she plans to divorce her husband of 43 years, whom the party had just nominated for president of the United States. “Good evening and welcome! I want to use this opportunity to talk about my husband Mitt and ask him for a divorce,” said Romney, who sources confirmed received two seconds of applause before the audience processed what she had actually said. “Mitt Romney is fiscally strong, he has a great vision for this country’s future, and I’m requesting a very substantial figure in alimony. I strongly feel this is what’s best, both for me and for our family, and my decision is final. If he wants to discuss the matter further he can contact my attorney.” Following the speech, a beaming Mitt Romney reportedly walked across the stage, took the microphone from Ann, and asked the crowd, “Wasn’t she great, everybody?” to continued silence.
