Mitt Romney Thinks He's Funny, Likes Gino's Pizza

On Friday presidential contender Mitt Romney visited Gino's East and afterward sent his deep-dish leftovers to Obama's Chicago election headquarters as a prank. We're confused. How is that funny? Hey Mitt, is your refrigerator running? Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

Romney tweeted:

Great deep dish at @ginoseast. Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team http://twitpic.com/52v65c

The Washington Post called it a "pizza prank fail," and Huffington Post called it the prank "that no one understands because Romney is bad at humor."

If you base your 2012 vote on presidential pizza choices, is it more offensive that Romney likes the mediocre slices at Gino's? Or that Obama has snubbed Chicago and claimed that the best pizza is at Pi in St. Louis?
