Paul Ryan stages another 'charity' stunt

BuzzFeed's Zeke Miller reports from the scene of Paul Ryan's "storm relief" event in Wisconsin yesterday:

In Hudson, the packing was proceeding too quickly, and the supporters wearing red "Team Wisconsin" t-shirts were given the order to slow down and then to stop to be sure there were still goods to be packed when Ryan entered.
One by one the boxes were filled and loaded into a waiting U-Haul, and then they stopped to wait for the candidate.

Ah, so the priority here for the Romney-Ryan campaign wasn't that the supplies get boxed up and sent off as quickly as possible ... it was that Paul Ryan get his photo taken while as the supplies got boxed up. Makes total sense, because this wasn't a "storm relief" event — it was a "Romney-Ryan campaign relief" event. And it showed.

...had a volunteer empty a box she had just packed, so he could fill it again. Of course, he was unable to pack the box as well, so there were several packages left over....ya know, that geometry stuff is really difficult.
