[Image: A picture of GOP candidate Mitt Romney speaking and gesturing in front of a microphone with a U.S. flag behind him. The text reads: “Visits hurricane damage in Louisiana to show he’s compassionate. Tells newly-homeless victim of hurricane Isaac to go home and call for assistance.”]
Yesterday, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney visited Louisiana, where much of the state was flooded due to Hurricane Issac. While visiting the Pelican State, however, Romney had some odd advice for one victim of the hurricane who had lost her home due to the flooding. According to Jodie Chiarello, a suddenly homeless resident of the state, Romney advised her to “go home and call 211.” 211 is a telephone number in Louisiana that provides information to residents about health and human services programs.
Another thing I had to Google to verify that this was not a joke. What a buffoon.
I had google this too, because HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Really? But it’s true. Here are other sources (AP, Huffington, etc. Yeah, I know, they’re not without flaws, but they generally fact check mostly)

I just don’t know, I mean. Really? Seriously? You have all this fucking money Romney and you can’t even pay to have some advisors tell you how to pretend to be a fucking human being? You’re really that…willingly evil and ignorant of how to be decent?
Holy shit, I really thought this was a fucking joke. Fucking hell.
