“Garrett, can you see that one of those chocolate…uh…chocolate goodies finds its way to our ride?”

[Blue Owl]

1. "Donuts are pastries, my friend..."

n/t

[slor]

26. LOL...

you are funny!

[ThatsMyBarack]

2. Little Chocolate Donuts.....

32. I don't know whether I should roll on the floor pissing myself laughing or

be alarmed that you had this photo ready for use at such an opportune moment

Oh, hell

[KurtNYC]

3. People who illegally impersonate Michigan State Troopers don't hang out near donut shops.

He won't touch one or say its name; doesn't say he will eat it either. He may also think that donuts can move under their own power as he asks his man servant Garrett to see that the donut "MAKES ITS WAY onto my ride."

[AnotherMcIntosh]

4. Yea, well he probably doesn't drink coffee either.

[Nye Bevan]

6. Nope. Mormons think coffee is evil.

I think, for me, not being allowed coffee would be worse than having to wear the silly underpants.

[malaise]

12. +1,000

[gateley]

5. Another reason he won't get my vote. I've been intimate with countless chocolate donuts, he

could never speak for me.

10. He's not the kind of guy you'd want to have a beer with as he doesn't drink

He's not the kind of guy you'd want to have a cup of coffee and a doughnut with, as he doesn't drink coffee and doesn't know his way around doughnuts.

Maybe he's the kind of guy you'd want to get stoned with. He wouldn't even need to take anything. It's like he's permanently stoned.

7. "Our ride" - WTF!?

The strange, it burns.

[Botany]

11. His ride

his La Jolla house



his New Hampshire house



his Utah house (might have been sold)



his plane



his bank

[JohnnyRingo]

8. ...with a bowl of gander sauce for dipping

Romney sure sounds like American English is a second language. There's one example after another of Mitt using words or phrases that are foreign to most ears.

[Romulox]

9. We've had Dunkin' Donuts here in Michigan for many, many years... nt

[rox63]

13. And there's a Dunkin Donuts every couple of miles

in Massachusetts. I pass 5 on my 12-mile daily drive to work.

[Romulox]

14. I actually prefer Tim Horton's by a wide margin, but they didn't have those, when Mittens lived here

[rox63]

16. We don't have Tim Horton's here in Mass

No Krispy Kreme either. They tried to open a few shops up here, but got stomped on by Dunkins.

[Fawke Em]

19. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are better than Dunkins, but

Dunkins has KK beat on the coffee.

[amuse bouche]

15. And he has

the gall to say the president is from another planet

[MatthewStLouis]

17. He's obviously more used to eating expensive pastries with fancy french names. Hee hee. /nt

[Life Long Dem]

18. Who's out of touch

[RZM]

20. It's great to be here at the table with these dough-based caloric units

The sprinkles are the right length.

[KamaAina]

21. It's kind of like cheesy grits

only rounder, and, y'know, less cheesy.

[Bolo Boffin]

22. What is the deal with him and not eating offered food?

Because that's how he made the 7-Eleven gaffe about the bakery cookies and now this doughnut thing. Both are him trying to fend off offered food. At first he knocked the food in what he considers a humorous way and now he's begging off by asking that the "chocolate goodie" be taken back to "our ride" so that it can be eaten then, presumably. Anybody think crumb one is going to pass his patrician lips?

I guess he's trying to watch his weight on the campaign trail, and he's trying to come up with some way to fend off food. It's not working yet.

[mike dub]

23. What's with telling (staffer?) Garrett to see that goodies get into Rmoney's ride?

Where I come from, a man pulls out his wallet, asks the cafe folks to wrap him one of them chocolate goodies to-go, pays, takes bag o goodies from the cafe and leaves. What the hell's with this fool? Did he lose his ability to function for himself when he became an a-hole 250 millionaire? Oh wait, he was an a-hole Before he became an a-hole millionaire (see Having friends hold down kid/cutting his hair, impersonating police officer, etc etc).

[coalition_unwilling]

29. For a relative newbie, you had my wife and me rolling on the floor with

this one

[Botany]

36. Welcome to DU

Nice list but you forgot the really good time Mitt had getting a blind person
to walk into a closed door or a wall. The man is one twisted up bag of mean.

[Bolo Boffin]

24. I do have to say

Doughnuts and lemonade? My mama raised me different than that.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. What does he call the medicare doughnut hole? The medicare goodie hole?

Or does he even know what it's about?

[Eastern Winds]

27. Donut Romnney

Do not elect Romney!

[amuse bouche]

28. I'm starting to believe

Myth Rmoney is showing signs of dementia.

I just don't believe his gaffes are only due to being a clueless rich guy

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

30. I don't know if Chris Christie would be compatible as a VP candidate

Christie could write entire dissertations on the science of doughnuts in all their splendid variety, their different smells, their textures, the qualities of their oils for facials, their effects when intravenously injected, etc.

[coalition_unwilling]

31. ROTFLMFAO - n/t

[Beaverhausen]

33. This entire thread is a DUzy!!!

[white_wolf]

34. Damn it all. Now I want chocolate goodies, I mean donuts.

Though, I actually prefer cream filled or sprinkled. Yes I know it's childish, but I used to get them all the time growing up so I like them still. Oh, and you can't beat an original hot glazed donut. You know if giving up donuts, coffee, alcohol, and your basic humanity is the price you have to pay for becoming a millionaire, I don't think it's worth. It's like he isn't even human.

[JCMach1]

35. He lost Iowa on this as he completely dissed the owner of this place

when his people destroyed some stuff during this photo op.

The story played all over Iowa.
