Romney's relief efforts

The RW are putting out that the noble and magnanimous Romney has generously donated his campaign bus and Virginia HQ to collect "relief supplies" for Sandy, and are retweeting this pic like it was The Marshall Plan rebuilding post war europe. Looks like the campaign ran inside and grabbed the pack of toilet paper from the john, and packs of granola bars under their desks and threw them in boxes, hastily marked "donations". Pathetic.
