    To be fair, he had to fire the Help that fixes his hair and irons his shirts….and apparently applies foundation…. in anticipation of Obamacare.

    Ben, if you were paying attention, during the primaries, mitt romney washed his own clothes in the hotel sink. Also, if you watched any of the interviews at there home, they have no hired help such as maids or cooks. When asked about this, Ann said they like their independence. When the have some of their kids and grand kids over, they set up a paper color coded pinwheel like device with specific chores for every family, then they just rotate it everyday

    Looks to me like he’s doing the “walk of shame.” What dorm was he leaving?

    Rusty,

    Do you actually believe that? He washed his clothes in the sink? Really?

    TC-

    I totally believe the bit about the pinwheels & chores for family members. I went to school w/ a couple of Mormon families. Both did crazy shit like that.

    TC …I just snarfed some of my tea after reading that bit about the walk of shame. Good stuff.

    RDL,

    I get the chores part too. I just never saw a picture of Mitt on the campaign trail where he looked like he washed his clothes in the sink. Above photo excepted of course.

    Of course Mitt washed his shirts in the sink.
    How do you think Paul Ryan learned how to scrub the pots in the soup kitchen?

    The information about Mitt washing his own clothes in the hotel room sink came from his body man during the primaries. He said he was constantly asking mitt to let him get his close washed or cleaned, but mitt would never let him, told him he would just wash them in the sink
    In this life alot of our success depends on knowing who to believe. Roland, I am assuming you mean crazy shit like that in a very positive and organized way

    Mitt probably took one of his freshly pressed shirts out of the dry-cleaner’s box and washed it in the sink for a photo op.

    Rusty, it’s not that I don’t believe that you heard that, it’s that I don’t believe for a second that it’s true in any way, shape or form. These campaigns are well-funded and choreographed down to the last detail — what tie to wear, when and how far to roll up your sleeves, how to wave to the crowd, etc. The notion that his handlers would let him go out in public in shirts not professionally cleaned and pressed is just crazy. That reeks of trying too hard to seem like a regular guy.

    I won’t argue about home life. But on the trail, no way.

    If he wanted us to think he is a “regular guy” he should have gone to the laundromat and used too may driers like the rest of us.
