I know I have said how thankful I am for the Romney candidacy as it provides so much fodder upon which to write, but political writers cannot keep up with Mitt's pace.  He screws up faster than we can write!

The latest from word from across the pond is that:

* It didn't occur to Mitt that when you are in another country attempting to make a good impression, don't suggest that they aren't handling the Olympics as well as you did.  Especially when it hasn't started yet.  Mitt's comments elicited this response from David Cameron, the British Prime Minister: "We are holding an Olympic Game 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."  As usual, Mitt is doing his usual amazing level of making friends and influencing people. Maybe you should remind the British people how they are all Anglo-Saxon again, Mitt.  That went over so well.

* After complaining that the White House was leaking secrets, don't announce to the media that you had a "secret" meeting with Sir John Sawers, the chief of M16.  The point of a secret meeting is...you don't mention having it...to anyone...especially the press. Alfred c'mere!

* Mitt apparently didn't have time to learn all the names of the important people he would be meeting in Great Britain, so during his meeting which was once again held in front of the press, he kept referring to Ed Milibrand, the Leader of the Labor Party, as "Mr. Leader".   This gaffe had James Chapman of the Daily Mail quipping on Twitter, "Another Romney triumph as he forgets Ed Milibrand's name: "Like you, Mr. Leader, I look forward to our conversation here this morning." If you looked forward to it so much, Mitt, you would have learned his name.

Apparently, things got so bad that Romney's foreign money fundraiser was forced to lower the prices on their tickets from $25,000 to $10,000 in order to attempt to sell the final tickets.

By the end of it, Chapman was bemoaning on Twitter: Do we have another Dubya on our hands?  Serious dismay in Whitehall at Romney debut. 'Worse than Sarah Palin.' 'Total car crash'. Two of the kinder verdicts #romneyshambles. And finally,  "Another verdict from one Romney meeting: 'Apparently devoid of charm, warmth, humour or sincerity' #romneyshambles  #mitthitsthefan "

Take in mind, this is the political editor of the conservative Daily Mail.  James Chapman is a self professed Tory.  If this is how those who should be the most favorable to Mitt see him, wait until the rest of the heads of state do.
