Media Matters Fellow Derides Ann Romney for Book on MS

A research fellow at Media Matters for America went after after Ann Romney for writing a book about her struggle with multiple sclerosis.

Oliver Willis derided Romney on his Twitter account Sunday for writing another book, while she's already written two others — a cookbook and an advice book for college graduates.

Willis downplayed the severity of Romney's disease after being challenged by a conservative on Twitter, who suggested that maybe her disease has something to do with her motivation to write another book.

@owillis Maybe having a terminal illness drives her to get things down now while she can?
