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:

Mitt Romney pulled back today on his critique of Great Britain's readiness for the Olympics, following comments in an NBC interview that created a stir in London

...

Romney's comments were big news in London. On the website of The Telegraph, the headline read: "Mitt Romney questions whether Britain is ready for the Games."

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...

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.

Ah, yes, what better phrase to share your excitement for the Olympcs than to respond with stuff like "the warmth is here"? LOL!

1. This guy is a doofus.

He is making W look like a statesman.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Ah yes

those were the days.............can't find doors, giving the German Chancellor a surprise massage.............

[progressoid]

10. And he had pretty quick reflexes.

Especially when dodging flying shoes.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. Oh yeah

forgot about that one........... Don't forget about his international relations prowess when it came to whipping up his "coalition of the willing" for Iraq and his warnings about the UN becoming irrelevant (by treating it as irrelevant).

[Motown_Johnny]

2. Well, it this doesn't bolster his foreign policy credentials then nothing will.

My money is on "nothing will".

[treestar]

3. Looking forward to the debates

When Mittens will plunge in the polls due to his obvious stupidity. Not enough Americans realize it yet.

[TBF]

25. +1 nt

[WCGreen]

29. But he's brilliant..

Isn't that the way the myth goes here in the US of A.

Only smart people are rich, they are the best and th brightest, only the able get rewarded with riches.

Why Mitt's middle name mid as well he Horatio...

[PatSeg]

34. I agree

Most people are not following politics like we do and Romney APPEARS to be relatively normal. Then he opens his mouth and all the stupid gushes out. The debates will reveal this to a much larger audience.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. Will President Obama have to send Hillary on a special diplomatic mission

to repair international relations with all of the countries Mitt visits after it's over?

[Enrique]

6. "Weather. warmth. comfort"

[RedStateLiberal]

21. LOL!

[JaneQPublic]

28. Followed by...

The mercury in the thermometer is the right height."

[FSogol]

7. Romney: Not ready for prime time.

[elleng]

8. and in BRITAIN, to talk about 'the sunshine!!!'

'The weather could not be better,' but just wait until ? tomorrow? when the weather will be anything BUT better, which is what it tends to do 'over there!' The Games will go on, in spite of it, you do know, sir; right?

[WCGreen]

30. Stiff upper lips

[elleng]

32. Yes indeed,

and a cup of tea, and some Scotch!

[tk2kewl]

9. All of the hurdles are just the right height.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Obama should issue an apology on behalf of America

for allowing Romney to make such idiotic statements abroad.

Romney needs to be put in the international spotlight as a buffoon who is not to be taken seriously.

[ailsagirl]

12. Oh, goodie-- Rmoney puts his foot in it-- on foreign soil

Good job!! Keep it up!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. The British press will skin him alive.

This is a thing of beauty

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. This is actually how the majority of Americans behave when visiting London

[Arugula Latte]

22. Next he'll loudly complain that the burgers aren't the same as they are in the States

[liskddksil]

23. and that the trees aren't the right height

[Arugula Latte]

24. And that the beer is warm ... Oh, wait, okay -- not that.

[siligut]

16. A link to the page with the video, Mitt Romney meets 'Mr Leader' Ed Miliband

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19000272 There will be a brief ad before the video.

He sounds like he wants to be in charge again, I am guessing Mitt always wants to be in charge.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. And once again, the walking gaffe machine doesn't disappoint!

They should sell a "Chatty Mitty" doll complete with phrases -

"I love this state. The trees are the right height".
"I love cars. I love American cars".
"Lemon. Wet. Good."
"Fortunately the sunshine is out. The warmth is here."

See Spot run. Run Spot run. Puff.

[gopiscrap]

18. What an out of touch dumbass!!!

[B Calm]

19. After Bush, the Brits have to be laughing

their asses off at the American Republican party. .

[Bossy Monkey]

20. "Error! Error!" It was a big risk taking him to London.

I bet they have to keep him out of the rain, for fear he'll short out.

[Chiyo-chichi]

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

He can't even do that well!

Wasn't he also blathering about the weather to Tony Blair?

[Scurrilous]

27. ROFL

[Scootaloo]

31. The all-new Mitt-tron 3000!

He stumbles! He gaffes! He cuts hair! He even talks!

"The weather could not be better. whiiirrrrr, click-click"
"Corporations are people people people people WHIIIIIIRRRRR bzzzzzt people my friend."
"Wzzt Wzzt I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter clack-clack!"

33. They forgot to allow for the time difference in his programming.

Consequently, his Word Salad 3000 unit is assembling the wrong words.

[malaise]

35. Another Romney triumph as he forgets Ed Miliband's name:

Is that true?
