Caption this pic of Romney


PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Newt Gingrich won in South Carolina. Yeah, yeah, yeah - whatevs.
GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney did his own laundry.
We bet Newt can't even wipe his own gla$$. ... Clean those shirts, Mitt!
Clean up that campaign trail!
(Hmm. ... We wonder if there are any sweater vests in that washing machine?)

I thought they just rinsed it in the ocean.

We can tie him to the roof of the car and dry him off!

9. We know this is a photo op because we know that all of Mitts clothes are

washed or dry-cleaned pressed neat and tight by a laundering service. He's probably never done laundry in his life before... This is kind of like the pics of Hillary at the gas station pretending to pump gas and get a cappuccino out of the the machine.. we all know she hasn't driven in years (hello secret service detail) and her aides get her coffee or what ever when she wants something.

Also, who does laundry like Mitt is doing. The shirt looks clean anyway, probably unwrapped one white shirt from the dry-cleaning bag. And he's' holding the shirt up half way out of the machine, while also pouring the Tide powder box into the machine... the box isn't even open... there is no powder coming out of the box. AND most people doing laundry either put the soap and water in before the clothes OR put the clothes all in and pour the soup in while the water is filling up the machine. I personally add the soap and and water first (along with any bleach or special cleaners), fill up my downy ball (yes I have a very basic washing machine that doesn't have its own dispenser.. I bought the washer/ dryer set off of a friend when they were 3 mo's old and have had them now for 12 yrs all for the bargain price of $300.00), and then I throw the clothes in as the rest of the water is filling up, depending on if I'm using bleach.. if bleach, I wait so that the bleach isn't too strong and put holes in the clothing.

Anyway, its so staged and phony that its not even funny. Would have been better if he never had anyone release this photo. Fake like everything about him!!! This pic is right up there with his photo from 2008 when he was putting on the blue glove in front of the Fudge sign.

11. That glove pic of Mitt reminds me of the proctologist on Cannonball Run

Matter of fact, if you google "proctologist glove cannonball run" then go to "images", the ninth picture shown is Mitt Romney.

10. It took three wives to get Newt's shirts as white as a Mormon missionary gets them

Vote for me, Mittens Romney, who attacks his own ring around the collar.

Note how he's turned to pose ever so slightly to make sure we all get the point of this ridiculous fiction.

If anyone believes this boy who's time is worth money when it comes to making money does his own laundry, I have a refrigerator factory in Antarctica to sell you.
