Reason #938470394709734708 why Paul Ryan is an obnoxious ass.

I'm sure you've all seen this image. You probably noticed how clean those dishes he's washing seem to be. You may have seen the crease in his apron and the wristwatch he hasn't taken off. You may have even noticed that the soap seems to be quite far from the sink.

Well, here's what actually happened. 

"They showed up there, and they did not have permission…The photo-op they did wasn’t even accurate. [Paul Ryan] did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall."

Brian J. Antal, president of the Mahoning County St. Vincent De Paul Society. He’s irritated that the Romney campaign had Paul Ryan stop by his soup kitchen, unannounced, and pose for pictures while “washing pots and pans that did not appear to be dirty,” as the Washington Post puts it. Antal is particularly distressed at the prospect of his center appearing to take political position, as he believes that could jeopardize its continued existence: “We are apolitical because the majority of our funding is from private donations,” he explained. “I can’t afford to lose funding from these private individuals.”
