Romney’s ‘disaster relief’ looks a lot like a campaign rally

[left-of-center2012]

When is a campaign event not a campaign event? When it’s billed as “disaster relief” instead.

Mitt Romney’s campaign announced Monday that out of “sensitivity” to those affected by Sandy, he’d cancelled a campaign event for Tuesday in Kettering, Ohio, which had been scheduled to include former NASCAR champion Richard Petty and Alabama lead singer Randy Owen.

Instead, Romney appeared at a “disaster relief” event in … Kettering, Ohio. And he was joined by — you guessed it — former NASCAR champion Richard Petty and Alabama lead singer Randy Owen.

1. Romney did suspend campaigning...

He's not tending to a diaster. The disaster that is his campaign.

2. A campaign rally and a chance to get rid of those canned goods you never got around to eating.

3. "...those canned goods you never got around to eating"

You must be referring to those cans of green beans in my pantry.

4. No, green beans are primo items!

I'm thinking canned beets, pearl onions, marinated artichokes.....
