Mittenspalooza World Tour 2012: The MegaMormonThread!

Oh, but his day wasn't complete, Funk--

The GOP candidate seemed to forget Labour Leader Ed Miliband's first name, simply calling him "Mr. Leader."

And in a big British no-no, Romney announced at 10 Downing Street that he had met the chief of MI-6. It's custom for visiting dignitaries not to announce such things, as MI-6 is highly clandestine.

Way to go, Mittens.

I'm surprised that Poles really have any preference one way or the other between Democrats and Republicans.  I figured that they would still be debating Federalists vs Anti-Federalists.

On the bright side for the Romney camp, he can only go up from here.




I think.

That one is only fair.

REPUBLICAN presidential candidate Mitt Romney has quickly caused a stir on his overseas tour by questioning whether Britain is prepared to pull off the Olympic Games without problems.

"It's hard to know just how well it will turn out," Romney told NBC News, and he called the late-developing concerns over security staffing "disconcerting".
.......

In response to Romney's remarks, Cameron said: "We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it's easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere." 

He apparently was referring to Utah, the site of the Games Romney managed. The lively British media pounced. "PM delivers Olympic putdown to Romney," The Times newspaper in London trumpeted.

Well played Sir.

I like Cameron's soundbite.  Mitt's going to have to do better than that, especially since the US media will gleefully report that the leaders of pretty much everywhere he goes are snickering at him.

That one is only fair.

Duh.  When you forget a man's name, you call him "bro", "dude", or "chief".

That one is only fair.

Especially since there are two Milibands in the Labour Party, and both are utterly worthless caretakers with no brains or vision.

Or buddy, pal, ace, slick, slim, homeboy, campanero, paisano, holmes, vato, my man.

[Caliga]

It'd be ossum if the guy had said something at the press conference and Mitt agreed by saying "Quite right, slick."

I don't know if there is an easier layup in foreign trips than the pre election Olympic visit, especially to a country that Obama is theoretically neglecting and has a london mayor and PM in your party's camp. But now Cameron and Boris are publicly taking shots at Romney and I saw Boris leading a 60k crowd in "yes we can" chants. 

A few more days of this and Romney is going to inspire a massive pro-Obama letter writing campaign from England to Ohio.

Mitt Romney would restore 'Anglo-Saxon' relations between Britain and America

I prefer we stick with 'Norman' relations personally.

Yes, we all know you're a frog-lover.
