Is Ann Romney is Too Polarizing?

Do pundits even listen to speeches? Do they even comprehend their own words? Andrew Rosenthal of the New York Times;

"The genius of Mrs. Romney’s diva performance was the way she smiled so warmly as she delicately slipped the knife into President Obama. This was no Sarah Palin, who was all teeth and no warmth.
“It amazes me to see [Mitt’s] history of success actually being attacked. Are those really the values that made our country great? As a mom of five boys, do we want to raise our children to be afraid of success? Do we send our children out in the world with the advice, “Try to do … okay?”
Mrs. Romney added: “And let’s be honest, if the last four years had been more successful, do we really think there would be this attack on Mitt Romney’s success?”
Cue the knowing smile, the small, sharing chuckle, and the little nods of recognition and waves as if she had just spotted a familiar face in the huge crowd."

Never mind the outrage we would have heard if someone on the right had referenced moon faced Moochell as a diva. Paranoia strikes again! Sweet Ann Romney asks two rhetorical questions and the Times has a cow. How long before we hear that Ann Romney is too polarizing? After all Barack Obama is only trying to make the world safe for mediocrity.
