Did Juan Williams just call Ann Romney a "corporate wife?"
— Ryan Lizza (@RyanLizza) August 29, 2012
Yes, he did.
Self-proclaimed “real reporter” Juan Williams of Fox News promoted his RNC convention appearance earlier tonight:
Be sure to watch @FoxNews tonight w me, @BretBaier @megynkelly for GOP convention coverage http://t.co/k9Mvuss4
— Juan Williams (@TheJuanWilliams) August 28, 2012
How did he use that airtime to display his renowned “real reporter” skills? By engaging in the very misogynist rhetoric that Obama operatives have hurled at Ann Romney.
Got that, ladies? Juan Williams writes off an accomplished mother & grandmother as a "corporate wife". How utterly condescending.

The Twitter backlash was fierce and growing after his Neanderthal remarks:
Tonight, as with most all his TV appearances, Juan Williams causes me to feel sorry for his wife!

@TheJuanWilliams I'm sure your corporate wife is happy you have had a job and take care of her. #poorchoiceofwords #showshowuthink

Kudos to @TheJuanWilliams for calling @AnnDRomney a "corporate wife." Way to expose that Republican #WarOnWomen, Juan!

Ann Romney tonight: gracious, intelligent, kind, firm, truthful, incisive. A home run. Juan Williams — what an embarrassment for FOX.

Ann Romney = Class. Juan Williams = Ass. #rnc2012 #gop2012

Williams disappeared from the panel after his remarks, but Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Megyn Kelly said he wasn’t removed for putting his Ann Romney-bashing foot in his mouth:
Did Juan Williams just get the boot from panel for his ignorant remark about Ann?#foxnews

Bret Baier clarifies that Juan Williams' wasn't dismissed from the panel for his "corporate wife" candidate. If you say so, Bret…
— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) August 29, 2012
Somewhere, fellow liberal sexist Hilary Rosen is cheering.
Exit question:
.@michellemalkin So, can we now expect Juan Williams to dismiss someone as "Just a corporate wife who blogs?" #caring
