Mitt Romney's Latest 'SMH Moment': Offends All of London While In London
by therehastobeaway
You can't even make this stuff up: Mitt Romney offends London while in London.
From today's "Romney scales back criticism of Olympics" via USATODAY:
Okay, so this guy seriously needs a teleprompter because could you be any more (blunderrific) gaffetastic, Romney? How about not offending a entire country especially while you're there visiting!
This, of course, follows Romney's embarrassment of Australian Foreign Minister just days ago.
Bonus:
And in more "The trees are the right height" robo-awkwardness...
Ah, yes, what better phrase to share your excitement for the Olympcs than to respond with stuff like "the warmth is here"? LOL!

The Labour leader told Mr Romney: "It's great to have you here, it's great to have somebody here who's organised a successful Olympic Games and I'm sure you share our excitement about the Games."
Mr Romney replied: "Absolutely, the weather could not be better, fortunately the sunshine is out, the warmth is here.

I think someone told him not to say "sport." So, he thinks talking about the weather is safe.
