photo of ryan in soup kitchen faking washing the dishes!

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Looking at the pictures published by CBS, AP, NBC and the NYT, it appears as if Paul Ryan rolled up his sleeves and helped clean up after a meal served at an Ohio soup kitchen. That’s in contrast, though, to the WAPO post which indicates Ryan not only arrived after all the homeless diners had left, but also after the kitchen was cleaned up. Although cautiously worded, the WAPO story indicates that Ryan, with his family present and donning aprons, took already clean dishes, then soaped them up and washed them for the cameras as if he was really contributing.

1. And again I say: does he have lips? Does he have teeth?

Where is the backwards cap?

[theKed]

50. Found it

[treestar]

2. Nothing is beneath these asshats

Incredible. But not.

[CoffeeCat]

61. Ryan said that 30 percent of Americans are takers...

Tell me, Mr. Ryan--is a "taker" a shameless jerk who strolls into a homeless shelter for a photo op--and washes fake dirty dishes to snag some compassion points from the 47 percent?

You IDIOT.

[treestar]

64. Kind of interesting too how he is not really doing anything for them

They are of course takers and moochers and don't deserve any help, but that doesn't mean he won't try to look like he is helping them. But he made the effort to look like he was helping, but not the effort to actually help.

[bulloney]

65. Ranks up there with Bush and the plastic Thanksgiving turkey photo op.

[GallopingGhost]

3. BREAKING NEWS.....I wash dishes every day!!

Dirty ones.

Nice to know they can relate to the 47%.

[Volaris]

56. I was just going to say...one WHOLE summer..damn I AM impressed.

What this asshole does as a campaign stunt millions of underpaid workers do to support their lives, families and Dreams. EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES.
Classless fuck.

[Left coast liberal]

4. Wiff of desperation? Faking hanging with the great unwashed!

What a cad.

[Donkees]

5. Ryan Rescues Last Bean, says it's 'still viable'

[Voice for Peace]

36. LOLOLOL!

the last bean.. still viable.. ow ow ow

[BlueToTheBone]

6. She's smiling because she never saw him do this before!

She knows this is such a joke...note how her hands are nice and dry with her jewelry in place.

[crazylikafox]

12. That was my first thought too

33. LOL!! Anytime anyone smiles around him, you know he's engaging in lying on some level.

[Maximumnegro]

37. She's fake smiling

She is faking it. You can tell. That is not a genuine smile. If it is, she should stop doing that because it will scare small children and discerning adults.

[goclark]

45. Where is his wedding ring?

Did he take it off because he was doing heavy duty cooking

[jmowreader]

47. I can see it

[goclark]

69. Thanks, now I see it

I was so busy looking at that phoney face and pretend visit
I couldn't see the ring.

[BlueToTheBone]

67. note the cheap looking watch too. n/t

[WestSeattle2]

7. Hilarious - both aprons are gleaming white - and absolutely spotless. Way to roll up those sleeves

and contribute, Ryan(s).

What a joke.

[LiberalElite]

26. and...

The creases are still intact. They've got that just-put-on-look!

[Generic Brad]

39. I hope he has a waterproof watch

I always remove mine before I wash dishes so I don't ruin it.

[Kadie]

8. It's good he is learning a new skill, he may need it after election day.

[aletier_v]

30. Yes, at Burger King!

Holy cow, R&R are so lazy they can't even FAKE it properly?

How sad is that?

[bushisanidiot]

9. More Ryan/Romney SMOKE AND MIRRORS

This is BIG. He just got called out by the Washington Post (A VERY CREDIBLE SOURCE) for setting up this
scripted photo op and NOT ACTUALLY HELPING.

So once again, the republicans want CREDIT for doing work of OTHERS.

[adigal]

10. You know Romney wouldn't even go there!

Too many commoners for His Royal Highness to be near!

[GeorgeGist]

11. Apparently he needs 3 women ...

to instruct him how to do it.

[madaboutharry]

13. This reveals his character.

He is a poser and a fraud. Using a soup kitchen for a phony photo op is an insult to those who truly give their time and effort as well as to those who go there.

[Cooley Hurd]

14. I'd be more impressed if cameras weren't present...

...and this action came from the goodness of his heart.

That is... if such a heart actually existed within his plasma-laden vessel of a body.

[GallopingGhost]

15. I hope he didn't chip a nail. n/t

[JackN415]

16. Their aprons look fabulous, not a single drop of water

[progressivebydesign]

21. still has the folds from the package on it. nt

[lame54]

17. those plastic turkeys can leave quite a mess

[crazylikafox]

71. DUzy

[Helen Reddy]

18. Even more pathetic is

his wife observing so adoringly at Crispin Glovers' character 'Thin Man' of Charlies Angels. A hint of serving a fake turkey anyone? Dubya? want to answer that?

I ask someone who is more techno savvy than me to do a split screen of Thin Man and Paul Ryan. Por favor.

[flamingdem]

19. training for his new career

glad to see it. good luck to him

[southernyankeebelle]

20. Oh my reminds me of the picture Bush Boo Boo did when he went to Iraq someone

took a picture of him holding a plater with a turkey on it. Come to find out it was a fake turkey. Those republicans will do anything to look normal. That pot little eddie was washing looked brand new. The apron he is wearing is clean and hasn't been used.

[lunatica]

22. I can see the sweat streaming down his face and the wet stains

on his shirt from splashing water and sweat. His hair is plastered to his skull and the apron has all those food stains.

He's so one of us!

[CoffeeCat]

60. I know...right???

You know, I've been an undecided voter for the past year, and I've been so confused, until now. Paul Ryan and his amazing circular washing motions, as well as his inviting apron have pulled me over to the Romney/Ryan ticket.

[Blue Idaho]

23. Was this after the marathon he ran up Mt. Everest?

What a fucking poser.

[Quantess]

24. The Romney campaign forced him to do this.

There is no way Paul Ryan would be helping out in a soup kitchen on his own wishes.

[Grammy23]

32. What I was thinking was that of course Paul was forced to do this because....

There is no way in hell you'd catch Romney doing this duty. I also couldn't help but wonder what the regular folk running that soup kitchen thought about Lyin' Ryan being there "helping out" especially given the way Paulie and Mittens think about the 47 % and assorted other dead beats in this world. Did they have to tell THEM to smile, too???

[KurtNYC]

25. Likes coming in AFTER the mess is cleaned up....I'm seeing a pattern here.

[renate]

63. EXACTLY

Well said!

[tblue]

27. That's reason enough to run him out of the country

for good.

[liberalmuse]

28. This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.

His left hand isn't even wet and he's left his wedding ring on.

[SoapBox]

29. Always fake and always phony...

These Pukes make me sick.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

31. After this sinful behavior he had to return to his Ayn Rand shrine and pray for her forgiveness

and promise to do penance by introducing new legislation against the poor.

[SemperEadem]

34. his wife smiles all the time because she knows she's married to a liar

I wonder if she sleeps with one eye open?

[femrap]

35. More Lying Ryan....

not only in words but in actions.

[dgauss]

38. Fraud. eom.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

40. If Obama had done this the media would have reported it as a fraud.

[and-justice-for-all]

41. Their all shitheads...nt

[ladym55]

42. This is just so offensive

Youngstown has known great poverty and suffering in its recent past, and this privileged jerk fake washes dishes in a soup kitchen. God forbid he actually shows some of that deep, deep Catholic faith that he held forth on at the debate. God forbid he actually met some of the homeless.

[JB126]

43. Wasting his time anyway

So many people here in the Youngstown area work at the Lordstown GM plant, we know Mitt wanted to let GM wither away in bankruptcy. So, all of Ryan's faking was for not.

[juajen]

51. I believe the word you want is "naught", not "not".

You have been visited by the DU spelling police. Hope it didn't hurt.

[Cobalt-60]

44. He's no Dish Pig

He lacks the essential machismo!
Could this nebbish dominate the savage cooks?
Could he keep the bus boys in line?
Does he have the muscle to wield the Sprayer?
I think not!

[bloomington-lib]

46. How can he look at his family knowing they just watched him lie like that

[Skittles]

48. Look! I wash dishes! VOTE FOR ME!!!

[underthematrix]

49. when I first looked at this I fell out

laughing because LyinRyan looked so phony trying to channel his version of the 47%.. But it is his wife standing in the background wearing her fake smile that tells the real story.

[Permanut]

52. I thought maybe he would follow up with serving a plastic turkey..

Maybe next time.

[JimDandy]

53. Oh, PATHETIC! Washing dishes with his watch on?

I put myself through a few semesters of college washing dishes. You would never leave even a water-proof watch on because it would get nasty from all the food getting caught in it.

[LibDemAlways]

54. I have a feeling it's been a long time since either

Mr. or Mrs. washed a dish. That's something the "help" does in their world. She looks very amused, though. No doubt a minute later those aprons were off and the two of them were out the door.

[marlakay]

55. If your going to do a photo op

At least say hi to one homeless person and wash two or three dirty dishes....

This speaks so loud about how they are afraid to touch real people.

[donqpublic]

57. Even this simple everyday task...

evokes a lie from this cretin.

[Fearless]

58. He's washing in the rinse sink.

That is a three sink model. The first (leftmost) is used for washing. The middle (that one) is for rinsing. The third is for sanitizing. Look at the placement of the faucet. It is on the center sink and swivels between all three. What a tool.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

59. My fervent wish besides re-electing Obama

is seeing this phony charade of a candidate suffer a double election loss. No VP, no H of R.

[pa28]

62. Another day another lie.

If anybody in the media decides to question this he'll just double down.

[oldbanjo]

66. That's what he should be doing now,

washing dishes, he's sure not worth a shit as a Congressman.

[JoePhilly]

68. The both must be wearing water-proof watches.

[Major Nikon]

70. Clearly this is the job he was meant for

[Botany]

72. please

If you are really washing dishes you take your watch off and you have water all over you and sweat*
coming out of the back of your shirt. BTW you either wear a rubber apron or no apron at all ......
I know I have washed dishes in the past.

* most places have commercial dish dryers which are hot and steamy!

BTW this is how it is really done
