A photo of former presidential candidate Mitt Romney pumping his own gas has gone viral on social news website Reddit.
The humbling image shows the 65-year old, best known for having trouble connecting with average people, looking disheveled as he fills up his 2011 Rolls Royce Phantom.
The popularity of the photo has re-energized Romney, and OMGG.com has learned he’s since applied for work at an Exxon station near his home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
“This proves that I’m just like the average American,” the billionaire told us as he checked the tire pressure in our news van. “Hopefully Ohio and Florida residents appreciate my blue collar work ethic when I run again in 2016.”
An OMGG.com poll revealed that more than 61% of Americans are showing up to vote today just for the free sticker.
“It doesn’t matter who gets elected, all politicians are corrupt,” explained first-time voter Maurice Kendall. “But chicks seem to be impressed by that sticker, so I cast a ballot this morning for one of those idiots…I think the white one.”
Poll worker Annie Vick said there is a strict “one per person” policy on the labels, because as soon as they run out people lose the incentive to show up.
“Last week, I bought one of those suckers on eBay for like four bucks,” said Jerry Punlit, a 36-year old mechanic. “It was such a relief, saved me the hassle of having to wait in those long lines today.”
Most polls show that Obama handily won the second and third presidential debates, and currently has the edge in key swing states Ohio and Florida.
Hoping to turn things around, Republican candidate Mitt Romney made a desperate plea to the American people this morning.
“Every voter who picks me gets a boat,” he announced as he pointed towards attendees at a rally in Duluth, Minnesota. “You get a boat. You get a boat. You get a boat.”
With the election just weeks away, analysts are worried the “Oprah” strategy will bankrupt the former Massachusetts governor.
Not true, says Romney.
“There’s a reason I refused to release those tax returns,” the 65-year old told OMGG.com. “This giveaway will barely put a dent in my offshore Cayman accounts.”
During this week’s presidential debate, Mitt Romney said that while governor of Massachusetts he was brought “binders full of women” to hire as potential cabinet members.
However, OMGG.com fact-checkers discovered today that those binders were actually used to find Tagg Romney a second wife.
Tagg, easily the creepiest of Romney’s five sons, says none of the books produced anyone that met his criteria.
“I’d like to punch whoever was responsible for putting those binders together for my dad,” the angry Mormon told OMGG.com. “They were full of women my family doesn’t associate with, like liberals, minorities and the poor.”
After holding his own in the first debate against President Obama, Mitt Romney is getting cocky.
“At this point, I can’t imagine a scenario in which I’ll lose,” the former governor of Massachusetts told OMGG.com. “On October 16th, I could take a dump on the podium and still win over undecided voters.”
The 65-year old is so confident, he announced plans to attend the Hofstra University town hall without pants on.
“He’s brash, ignorant and his policies set women back 50 years,” said MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “That being said, he’s earned my vote with overwhelming sex appeal.”
In his first-ever presidential debate, Mitt Romney was so dominant that many wondered if he was having an out-of-body experience.
“In a way, I was,” the Republican candidate admitted. “With so much on the line, I outsourced my spot at the podium to Bill Clinton, a man who I knew could outdebate anyone.”
Fox News discovered that the former president was paid $2 million for his services, a bargain considering the bump in the polls it provided Romney.
“I just dipped into one of my Cayman accounts to pay Mr. Clinton,” the 65-year old told OMGG.com. “If I decide to pay taxes in 2012, it’ll count as a write-off anyway!”
Is the Republican presidential nominee a fan of tan-in-a-can?
Mitt Romney appeared a bit orangey during his interview on Univision last Wednesday, causing many to conclude he dyed his face to appear “more ethnic.”
During a secretly-recorded campaign fundraiser earlier this year, the 65-year old did say “it would be helpful to be Latino” — but in an exclusive OMGG.com interview this morning, Romney insisted he didn’t “fake bake” last week.
“Diet affects skin tone, and I had a lot of carrot juice to drink before that interview,” the GOP leader explained. “In fact, to prepare for my speech in rural Texas today, I’ve been chugging milk all morning.”
On Live with Kelly & Michael Tuesday, the Romneys said the majority of their arguments are over who controls the household remote.
“We’re both big television fans, but our tastes in shows couldn’t be more different,” Ann told the hosts. “I enjoy Modern Family, but Mitt isn’t a fan of what he calls the show’s ‘gay agenda’.”
The Republican presidential candidate admitted that while he’s never really understood comedy, a certain reality show has become a guilty pleasure.
“My friends and I get together every Wednesday and watch Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” said the 65-year old. “We get a kick out of sipping scotch while checking out how the other 47% of Americans live.”
