National Lampoon's Romney vacation?
Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has been out of the country in a multi-country tour. This was likely an effort to shore up his light foreign policy experience. That experience to date has been limited to a Swiss bank account, untold millions of dollars in the Cayman Islands, and creating thousands of jobs in low-paying countries. Unfortunately for Mitt Romney, this tour has turned out to be from one gaffe to another.
The first leg of his trip brought him to the United Kingdom, and succeeded in creating an unflattering image of Romney in the country he once referred to as "a second tier nation" and "just a small island." In fact, his trip already has a Twitter hash-tag: #Romneyshambles.
Romney first got himself in hot water by publicly stating that he was not sure if London could handle the Olympics, calling the situation "disconcerting." Not surprisingly, this offended British politicians and officials, including Prime Minister David Cameron who responded by suggesting that holding the Olympics in downtown London is a bit more tricky than in Salt Lake City, or as Cameron called it, "the middle of nowhere." Romney then told NBC that we would have to wait to see if Britons would "unite" for the Olympics, again offending Cameron and many other Brits. London's eccentric Conservative Mayor Boris Johnson publicly mocked Romney to a crowd of 60,000 Londoners. In light of all this, maybe it is easier to understand why members of the UK's Conservative Party expressed that their "heart" is with Obama.
Romney continued upon this collision course with the UK by publicly acknowledging that he met with the United Kingdom's highly secret intelligence service, MI6 - an acknowledgment that is considered a major gaffe in Britain. Then, he made the British press wonder if he even bothered to learn Labour leader Ed Miliband's name after he referred to Miliband as "Mister Leader." Romney's foreign policy advisors outraged many on both sides of the Atlantic when they told the British newspaper The Telegraph that Romney would be better for Britain because of a shared "Anglo-Saxon heritage" that Obama did not share.

But I've seen the episodes 
Romney is so stiff, I'm surprised he doesn't fall more often- like with a moderate breeze. Although, he is so dry it probably wouldn't even be funny...
