In Mitt and Ann Romney's first interview since losing the bid for presidency in November, the former candidate likens the Presidential race to a theme park ride. The most soul-sucking, disheartening theme park ride ever:

Among those absent from today's inauguration was Mitt Romney, the man who almost was. NBC News' Peter Alexander also reports that a former aide of Romney's says it's "doubtful" that the Romneys were watching. What's your problem with Beyoncé, Mittens?

There's Mitt and Ann Romney's facial expressions at the exact moment that Manuel Marquez delivered a perfect knockout punch to Manny Pacquiao in last night's big fight.

Janna Ryan's husband Paul didn't get the big promotion he was after last night, and boy did it show on her face; she looked like the most miserable person in the world when she went up to hug Ann and Mitt on stage after Romney conceded the race.

Continuing her "we're real human people with real human blood" talk-show tour, Ann Romney stopped by Rachael Ray's show today.

Ann "Of The People" Romney stopped by Good Morning America to talk average American stuff — show horses, Welsh cakes — this morning. She was a "guest host," filling in for Robin Roberts who is, of course, still recovering from a bone marrow transplant.

It's been a while since we talked about Ann Romney's Olympics (loser) horse Rafalca, but the noble beast has reentered the political conversation.

Ann Romney gave a wonderfully delusional interview on Radio Iowa today on behalf of her husband's campaign, which, as we all know, is going super well right now. Thankfully, Ann was able to do her part to contribute. To her husband's detractors within the Republican party, she had this to say:

It was a question without a right answer, and Mitt Romney still managed to get it wrong. Which reality TV sign-of-the-end-times do you prefer — Snooki or Honey Boo Boo?

Ann Romney's speech to the Republican National Convention last night featured an awkward and transparent pander to female voters, whose troubles the quarter-billionaire dressage enthusiast said she had "heard stories of." It culminated with a memorable, and failed, attempt to ape human affect with the line, "I love you, women!", and was premised on the increasingly anachronistic notion that women run their households while men golf or slurp beer on the couch. This may have been true in Ann Romney's home. It is, regrettably, not true in mine.

In response to a question about what constitutes must-watch TV for her, Ann Romney told Entertainment Tonight that ABC's Modern Family topped her list of highly anticipated TV shows.

In a fit of Oprah-channeling enthusiasm, Ann Romney went off-script tonight and told the RNC crowd "I love you, womennnnn." And I bet that's true. Of course, she didn't mention this, this, this, or this, but it's a long campaign season; I'm sure she'll get around to it eventually.

Before you go around criticizing Ann Romney for her eliteness, remember that you, too, could probably buy a horse, pay for its upkeep, and pursue a career in dressage.

Michelle Obama joined Pinterest today. Ann Romney has been dominating that ish for months.

By now everyone is familiar with the comments Hilary Rosen made last week wherein she said that Ann Romney had never had a job in her life. On tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart took stock of Fox News' strong response.

Ann Romney is ready to set the record straight about the whole "dog strapped to the roof of the car" business. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, Ann recalled that Seamus the Irish Setter "loved" riding in a carrier on top of the family's Chevrolet. In fact, it would have been far crueler to leave him at a kennel.

On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert took great pleasure in the way that the GOP has flipped the War on Women script against the democrats after comments about Ann Romney never having had a job. Colbert is so happy, he could dance.

After a brutal year of female-alienating policy debates, the GOP has settled on a message it apparently thinks will appease the ladies: "Don't Let Barack Obama & Democrats Insult Women, MOMS DO WORK!" The mug-friendly slogan is, of course, an outgrowth of Ann Romney's war against left-leaning pundit Hilary Rosen, who said last night that Ann "never worked a day in her life."

Ann Romney joined Twitter last night, apparently to retaliate against CNN talking head Hilary Rosen, who criticized Ann by saying she "never worked a day in her life." @AnnDRomney has tweeted twice so far:
