Oh dear. What should have been a gentle, substance-free sojourn in London designed to raise cash and remind Americans that he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics had spiralled out of control within 24 hours of Mitt Romney landing in London.

4. Could this be early onset Alzheimer's?

Or just another case of dumbass foot in mouth disease?

5. There's only one thing that he could use to pull himself out of this

And that would be the ability to laugh at himself.

If he could manage a little self-deprecating humor, he could salvage something.

AFAIK, however, the man has no capacity whatsoever for laughing at his own foibles.
