When Friday rolled around, so did the local milkman and 7 thousand pints of the dairy product. The delivery guy kept his word to Mitt Romney and refused to reveal the name of the anonymous donor to VA officials. Two years later and just days from retirement, the delivery man finally shared his secret with hospital staffers.

There’s that Romney...showing off again. He probably did that with the Presidential election in mind. You know...like paying more taxes and giving all that money to charity.

I forgot to include that the milk deliveries continued weekly for two years until Romney straightened out the budget when he was governor.

In the MSM no good deed comes without punishment, expect to see some “genuine vets” with lactose intolerance before the end of the day bitching about the milk Romney helped supply...

The original article mentioned that he visited the Hospital after Ted Kennedy did because he was running for the Senate. He stopped after 2 years, he was not Gov. when stopped the support. If it was an anonymous donation no one would have known who the donor was, certainly not a milk delivery man. It was a very charitable thing to do and he stopped for reasons of his own which is his right. I don’t understand why his charity has to be embellished as if it cannot stand on its own.

When the now Republican presidential candidate toured a Veterans Administration hospital

Something isn't adding up with this Romney tale.

The news of the time, reports Mitt visiting a homeless shelter for vets, not a VA hospital.

Also, Mitt's first response created an embarrassing furor of outrage, as Mitt's first reaction was to crack that 'the vets need to learn how to milk cows'.

A homeless shelter (not the VA), an unmentioned campaign gaffe, a political recovery attempt, and for some reason, a truck driver that handles administration and purchasing of what he delivers, so that he would know who was anonymously paying for the milk over the phone, at the warehouse purchasing office.

If someone wants to get the details on this story, they can purchase the story here, and share the details with us. http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/access/62033819.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Nov+05%2C+1994&author=Robert+A.+Jordan%2C+Globe+Staff&pub=Boston+Globe+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&desc=Undecided%3F+Just+read+on&pqatl=google
