Rick Scott to work in donut shop tomorrow in Tampa. Time to DU the photo-op.
He will work at Nicola’s Donuts and Bakery Shop in Tampa from 6 a.m.. to approximately 8:30 a.m.

How about showing up if you live in the area and crash the party. Let him know he has shit for brains and we're not buying his gimmick. Cops, firemen, teachers, corrections officers all need to show up! Let him have it! Please pass this along.

Here's the release from Scott's press shop:

Governor Rick Scott Announces ‘Let’s Get to Work’ Days
Resurrects Tradition Started by Former Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham

Tallahassee – Making donuts, cleaning phone booths, delivering newspapers and selling groceries – all are previous jobs of Governor Rick Scott and tasks he will perform as part of ‘Let’s Get to Work’ Days.

Reviving the tradition started by former Governor and United States Senator Bob Graham, Governor Scott will work at businesses throughout Florida that mirror the jobs he performed on his journey from public housing to the Governor’s mansion.

“Like most Floridians, I have worked hard all my life. I started school in public housing and my family struggled financially,” said Governor Rick Scott. “For that reason I went to work at a young age doing everything from delivering newspapers and cleaning phone booths, to selling groceries and working on a ship in the Navy.”

Governor Scott will aim to do at least one workday each month. The first workday kicks off this Wednesday with the Governor working at a Tampa donut shop, similar to the donut shop he started and his mom operated in Kansas City.

“I was always proud of the jobs I had and learned valuable lessons from each one. My goal as Governor is to be sure every Floridian has the same opportunity to get a job and live the American Dream,” added Governor Scott.

1. How long will he spend ripping off Medicare?
And will he just dive into a vault full of money, or spend an hour rolling around in money on the floor like swine in slop?

3. Donut hole from an asshole
Hey Rick the Prick -- try LIVING for a few months on the donut shop salary and then get back to us.

Two hours of you stuffing your face full of lard and smiling for the camera ain't gonna cut it, douchebag.
