I imagined him thinking. "I'm doing this, just like Mommy!"Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan was heavily criticized yesterday for a recent photo op at a soup kitchen that didn't involve helping any actual poor people.
Among the critics calling out Ryan and his camp for their sham goodwill gesture is Brian J. Antal, president of the Ohio charity that runs the soup kitchen in question.
Speaking with the Washington Post, Antal says Ryan "did not have permission" to stage the photo op, and simply "ramrodded their way" in with the help of a volunteer.
"The photo-op they did wasn't even accurate," Antal said. "He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall."
Indeed, as noted by a pool reporter, the soup kitchen was empty by the time Ryan and his family arrived, and volunteers had already scrubbed clean all the dishes from breakfast. That didn't stop Ryan, his wife, and their three children from putting on aprons and scrubbing clean dishes for a few minutes while photographers took photos.
Antal said his charity was "apolitical" and couldn't appear to be picking sides. "I can't afford to lose funding from these private individuals," he told the Post. "If this was the Democrats, I'd have the same exact problem."

This pretty much sums up Ryan as person. Fake as fuck.

Marlene Dietrich was once washing dishes in a military canteen and socializing with the troops. An unnamed starlette came in for a photo op, grabbed a dish, and smiled broadly for the cameras. Dietrich promptly pulled off her dish gloves, slapped the woman accross the face, and resumed her chore.

Very very funny. CNN needs to see this as well as MSNBC

He is a politician, why are you surprised. They all do this sort of stuff simply to create impressions. The dumb will believe it - the bright will comment on it but do nothing more.
