Mitt and Ann Romney’s interview with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan (Transcript)

Kelly: Which George bush?

Ann: George W, and he was covered up but I was so embarrassed that the next time I did see him I didn’t know what I was going to say to him we were going down the elevator from the White house going to an event together and I walked up to the elevator and am just like blushing, blushing, blushing and he looks at me and he winks as he does and says, ‘I look pretty good, don’t I.’”

Michael: Does Mitt snore

Ann: On rare occasions. Rare occasions.

 

Kelly: who hogs the blankets?

Romney: no question about that, that’s Ann, that’s Ann. And she takes a lot more blankets than I do. She has piled up… [inaudible]

 

Michael: Ann, what does Mitt wear to bed [LAUGHTER]

Romney: Really? Really?

Mitt Romney: I hear the best answer is as little as possible.

End of Rapid-Fire Round

What is your biggest pet peeve with each other?
Ann: He doesn't like the way I squeeze the toothpaste. It's just random. It's random.
Mitt: oh, that's right. She doesn't go from the bottom and work up and she leaves the top off.
Kelly: She's busy. She raised your five sons.
Mitt: I put up with a lot. Woody Allen said that 95% of history is explained as a man trying to impress a woman. And that's true in my life. My life is trying to impress Ann so I make very little out of the fact that she squeezes the toothpaste from the middle.

Ann: Oh, about Mitt. Let's see. There can only be one? Sometimes it's how often can we keep going over this is a problem or that's a problem. Like, ok, keep looking at the good side.

tv show:
Mitt: Modern family.
Ann: yeah, we love watching.

Kelly: I heard your second favorite was Kelly & Michael. (coughing) I heard that. Maybe it was just in my own head. Do you keep up with the Kardashians?

Ann: Who keeps up with the Kardashians? Who can keep up with the Kardashians?

Michael: Ok the most serious question of all? Honey Boo Boo or Snookie?
Kelly: Do you know who either of these are?

Mitt: I'm kind of a Snookie fan.
look how tiny's she's gotten. She's lost weight. She's energetic. Just her spark-plug personality is kind of fun.

Kelly: there you go. Last one - should I just pick one? Blackberry or Iphone.

mitt: Iphone
Ann: iphone

Kelly: I'm going to pick one more last one. Does Mitt sing in the shower?
Ann: no but he sings. We horseback ride, trail ride sometimes. And as soon as he puts his leg over the saddle, sits on that horse, out it belts.

Kelly: Wow -- good for you. What's his go-to karakoke song?
Ann: Well, it's Western. Especially if we're riding, you know, trails on the mountains.

Mitt: Absolutely, absolutely.
