Ignore the fact she  got really into this big-time about the time she was diagnosed with this  illness \u00e2\u20ac\u201d you might want to look that up. It just seems odd to me that a  network with the very letters \u00e2\u20ac\u0153M-S\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in its name wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t resist making  fun of someone who has to live with MS every day \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 These guys taking pot shots at Ann Romney are horse\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s asses.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although Cavuto does not mention any specific MSNBC anchor, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediabistro.com\/Lawrence-ODonnell-profile.html\">Lawrence O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Donnell<\/a><\/strong> took on the topic of dressage on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Last Word\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Monday, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Now, this is not in any way to make light of Ann Romney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s difficulty with MS, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s obviously a very difficult thing to bear \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Dressage does not appear in any of the more traditional courses of treatment. And if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true that dressage is how wildly rich people deal with this very difficult personal health problem, then why, why does the horse appear on Mitt Romney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tax return as a business expense, that in 2010 produced a $77,000 business deduction?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Romney recently sat down for an interview about her health with Fox News contributor <strong>Dr. Marc Siegel<\/strong>.
