Voters head to polls in SC as Mitt Romney belittles Gingrich and does his own laundry

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Voters battled rainstorms and tornado warnings as they streamed to the polls here today, capping a tumultuous and at times politically dizzying week of events that, by tonight, could potentially reshape the Republican presidential nomination process once more.

Extending a more aggressive phase of his campaign, Mitt Romney today renewed attacks on Newt Gingrich, calling on the former House speaker to release records related to his role consulting Freddie Mac, the quasi-public lending agency that many blame for accelerating the housing crisis.

“I’d like to see what he actually told Freddie Mac,” Romney told reporters after visiting his campaign headquarters. “Don’t ya think we ought to see it? This is a big issue. We’ve got a Washington insider talking about Freddie Mac, let’s see what his report was to Freddie Mac, what he said to them, what advice he gave them.”

His campaign sent out a press release – “Happy 15th Anniversary, Mr. Speaker” – to draw attention to the day 15 years ago when Gingrich was reprimanded by the House for ethical wrongdoing.

Yet while Romney was happy to criticize Gingrich to reporters, he avoided any face-to-face interaction with his rival......

Romney, in a week in which his opponents criticized him for being out of touch, showcased that he was doing one of the most humble chores, washing his own clothes. His son, Tagg, sent out a photo on Twitter of Romney dumping Tide into a washing machine. Ann Romney, dressed casually in a sweatshirt, removed clothes from the next machine......................

But wait, I thought Mitt Romney was “so Presidential.”

Yeah, right. Nothing presidential about “calling on” so and so to release something from many years ago.

Desperation.

Romney doubles-down on showing just how much disdain he has for "simple" folk, you know, the base of the GOP, conservatives.

Romney is such a turd. If he’s the nominee, I’m finished with the GOP. I can’t vote for this socialist empty suit.

“Where’s Mitt?” Gingrich said when he arrived at the restaurant.

Yes...but is he doing his socks on a scrub board?

When they left the laudromat, they stopped by the out house before returning to their cave.

Careful!

You're not supposed to mention the garmies around here ... and whatever you do, do not post a picture of them!

Besides, deferring to some of the pinged experts, I don't think that you're supposed to wash them. Instead, it is my understanding that you wear them until they are a lost cause. Then you burn them in a holy fire after you cut out the sacred masonic symbols and righteously bury them in a consecrated place.

It’s a good thing there are directions under the lid... Romeny would be lost otherwise. But, the good news is... he can read, comprehend, and act on instructions.

Damn, he is getting desperate. He has clearly contracted Obama photo-opitus.
