PS: I think it is unfair to blame Ryan because a bunch of yahoos decided to stop funding the soup kitchen because of political reasons. Maybe the photo op was a poor idea but he never asked anyone to stop giving them money, that was the spontaneous decision of a varied group of dummkopfs.
Glad for the donations. If the group is truly doing the good they claim to be, then that's for the better.
Not letting Ryan off the hook though, you don't do political photo ops in places where that isn't permitted, without asking first. He and Romney are desparate to make it appear that they care about the less fortunate, so much so that they step in messes like this.
As for the donors, that may or may not have actually happened. I can't imagine witholding funds for such a reason, pretty shallow.
Not a big mess by any means, but a mess.
