Wait. I'm supposed to believe Mitt wheels a cart of groceries out to the ol' SUV . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . opens the back of the black/blacked out windowed Escalade, and loads his own bags and mumbles something about having "some folks over?"

I'd say it was good camera work because his personal driver and body man were kept out of view.

Hey Mitt . . . . do you a Safeway Loyalty Card?

You fucking sham of a liar.

[rustydog]

1. He probably giggled all the way pretending to be "normal"

I bet he had a GHW Bush moment marvelling at the bar code readers.

[Raine]

15. Yeah that stupid Beevis/Butthead laugh of his ... hee hee hee. nt

[lonestarnot]

2. No shit. Fucking cracks me up that this POS is running for President of the United States.

[Loki]

3. When asked what he bought at the hardware store

He replied "hardware stuff". I'm starting to suffer from brain-lag listening to his inanities. Another rich white guy whose father bought him his place in the world. November can't get here soon enough.

[Beartracks]

9. "Hardware stuff"?? LOL

Bush Lite might've played rancher every now and then, but at least he looked like he'd worn denim before. Mitt looks mighty uncomfortable in them jeans.

Do I hear banjos?

====================

[Raine]

16. He doesn't even know what "hardware stuff" is. I would bet he randomly gathered whatever

attracted his attention and put it in his little bucket not having a clue what he had picked up.

[Moonwalk]

4. Those folks he was having over must have been the servants....

...I can't imagine his chef making up food from Safeway to serve the Romney family or any of their friends, can you?

[Booster]

5. Pathetic. This is his answer to Bush clearing brush. Yeah, right, Mittwit.

[Major Nikon]

10. The truly sad part is that wingnuts are easily fooled by these antics

Shrub was born, raised, and educated in New England and lived in the suburbs all his live up until buying the pig farm in 1999. He managed to fool plenty of people into believing he was a man of the soil.

It speaks volumes about just how fucking gullible the GOP's constituency is.

[Booster]

11. Doesn't it though. Stupid people. It's the same as Bush Sr not knowing what a scanner was.

[demosincebirth]

6. I think the shopping cart is a prop and the whole thing is a pretty well staged setup.

[MindPilot]

7. It is kind of an insult when they try to be "regular guys".

Don't. You're not. It doesn't matter where on the spectrum your politics lie, you are not a regular guy when you have reached the level of presidential candidate. You may have been a regular guy in the past, but you are not now.

Mitt makes it even worse because he doesn't have the advantage of a regular guy past to fall back on. It would be kind of entertaining to watch him go though the items in that bucket. Definitely sounds like the premise for an SNL skit.

[SmileyRose]

12. good post

Thanks

[Skittles]

22. he was never a regular guy

he always has been a bullying, stuck-up elitist ASSHOLE

[NJCher]

8. Black Escalades are at the top of my disgust list

Of course Mitt would drive one. Of course.

[la la]

13. looks like he had mostly water in there, maybe...

some- uh- french bread...

how unamerican is that? can't drink the water from the tap and eat regular american white bread...what a loser! ;&gt ))

[JHB]

24. The bulk of it was...

...a case of Pepsi, a case of Coke, and a case of Perrier.

The Pepsi was for Bob, the driver/door holder, the Coke was for Pierre his dessert chef, and the Perrier was for him.

Or close enough.

[grasswire]

14. having some folks over for two (2) ears of corn?

Cheapskate.

[TeamPooka]

17. a kernal on every plate

[charlie]

18. We should make him EAT what's in that cart

That'll learn him.

If Poppy can choke down pork rinds, regular guy Mitt can scarf some Velveeta and Miller High Life for our amusement.

[Mopar151]

19. Wolfeboro is not on this planet

"America's Oldest Summer Resort" is a very ritzy little enclave for the right sort of people. I live a couple towns away - watching the rich dicks pretending to be regular people is kind of painful.

[silvershadow]

20. Yes. And also that he got

exactly what he went in for, from his list, that he checked off as he went, just like he does at home. Hardware stuff my ass, he had no clue what was in that bucket, and I can only imagine if the cart he grabbed had a sticky wheel how he might have reacted, just by the stuff way he handled it. Someone else said it best, pathetic.

[dixiegrrrrl]

25. Unless he was photographed actually picking out the items

I was thinking he walked into the store, got handed the already filled cart, and walked out.
any proof of how long he spent IN these stores???

[LatinGround]

21. Maybe he left his big money in his other wallet

Maybe his dog ate his other wallet?
Maybe his butler quit?
Let's give him credit for being willing to do the stunt or ad or whatever it was.
I don't suppose he'll ever actually become a regular guy?

[Skittles]

23. the guy is an empty suit and a total fraud

which is why he is the GOP presidential candidate

[FSogol]

26. He'll never be a real boy. He should be thankful his nose doesn't grow whenever he lies.

Welcome to DU, btw.

[yesphan]

27. He does have a loyalty card.

A special loyalty card that allows him to pay almost nothing for his groceries.
