Remember that Special Anglo-Saxon Heritage Bond? Uh, Scratch That..
Mitt, Mitt, Mitt.
You’ve already started a war and you’re not even the nominee yet.
It’s “the middle of nowhere” vs. “There were a few things that were disconcerting.”
Romney had to walk back his prissy remark about how the Brits didn’t do this Olympic stuff as well as he did. You know how Republicans say that President Obama is always apologizing for America (even though he doesn’t)? Hey, at least Mitt Romney would only have to apologize for himself … over and over and over again.
Cripes – he’s George Bush in a better suit.
Thanks to everybody for heads up.
You’d think with all the time he had to prep, he would have done better than he is doing.
1Talk about not ready for Prime time!!
I’ll bet the horse is even embarassed.
I find myself repeating this .. Willard’s life experiences are so thin, so self-centered and self-indulgent he can’t help but act the fool. He may or may not have high raw intelligence, i can’t tell, but he is far below the average male of the species in empathy and innate understanding of others. He is in Bush 43 territory there. But you’d think at his age and with his lack of social skills he’d have more dents in his head…. I just don’t understand him.
2Nope, he is WORSE. Mittens has entered a $77,000 tax deduction into the #horseprom.
Dubya did things waaaaaayyyyyy beyond STUPID, but anyone with so much money they can and DID deduct $77,000 for a “dancing horse” that neither Mittens nor QueenAnn ride, has no business being in the highest office of these United States of America.
Oh, #YouPeople, just wanna play class warfare.
See ya’ll at the Horse Prom~
3I am not sure it is a better suit, maybe he just looks better in one than Chimpy.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha
5I’ll tell you that I haven’t laughed this much in long time. Mitt is a hoot. I can’t wait til he goes to Israel. I hope someone tells him that Jews celebrate the Sabbath Friday evening til Saturday evening. Wonder how that Baptism for deceased Jews goes over.
And Poland, the opportunities are limitless.
Keep up the #mittastrophe, and #mitthitsthefan
Just about the most amazing part is with the Libor business and the Barclay’s problems that he is having a fundraiser in the heart of Libor.
I think Monty Python must be managing his campaign!
6The suit may be more expensive, but it certainly isn’t very well-fitting. Look at the picture of Romney in front of 10 Downing Street:

(I don’t know how to post pictures here. May be impossible.)
7Trust me on the fit – fashion is my profession! He looks rumpled and – to use a word every southern girl grew up with – tacky.
And in Britain, where tailoring is supreme! Tsk, tsk.
Mitt to Bibi Netanyahu: “I want my baby back……..”
8Does anyone remember the cloud of corruption that fell over the SLC Winter Olympics. Those LDS folks that wanted the bid apparently weren’t above a little bribery. The BBC said, “Last month, the IOC panel identified 13 members involved in alleged excesses stemming from Salt Lake’s winning bid for the 2002 Winter Games.
Nine of those members have either resigned or been expelled. Three others remain under investigation and another received a warning.
In all, 24 IOC members have been implicated in vote-buying schemes – roughly one-fifth of its membership.”
There wouldn’t have been an Olympics for Mittens to oversee (as a lobbyist) if they didn’t cheat.
9Sam in Kyle: and now Mitt’s getting the benefit of vote-suppression schemes.
Here’s a new favorite:
As the Jackson Free Press discovered, under Georgia’s new rules, voters would need to produce a certified birth certificate in order to get a photo ID, but would need to produce a photo ID in order to get a certified birth certificate.

Usually I agree not to attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity, but in this case I make an exception, because the malice has been so obviously expressed on multiple occasions by multiple people.
10Apparently, Mrs. Rmoney put a gag order on her horse, no press! But here’s the real rub. Mittens (R 1%) says he won’t watch the horse compete. Seriously? The man gets a $77,000.00 tax deduction for the horse and he won’t watch his dancing tax haven compete? Good grief! Mittens is one shallow dude.
11It sounds as if he’s dumped a pantload of Mitt all over England. His horse tapdances better, but Mitt’s tapdancing more. He’s been lying for over a year about President Obama “apologizing for America.” Now he’s given POTUS a reason to.
Dear cousins over the pond,
Obama has never apologized for America, but America apologizes for Mitt. And for the Tea Party … the current one… not the original.
Love,
U.S.A.
12The British Twitter tag to follow: #romneyshambles
Screamingly funny.
13The IOC is, as Molly Ivins called it, “a notorious sinkhole of corruption”. You don’t get the Olympics without bribery, under-the-table paybacks and various other forms of chicanery.
If the rumors be true, even the losing cities lose a boatload of money and favors, just to be in the running. The Olympics go to the highest bidder.
Can’t imagine why Romney wouldn’t want this part of his career to be exposed to close scrutiny…………
14I thought for a long while that Mitt was just socially maladjusted because he had to suppress the need to wipe his hand every time he mixed with us people. But, sadly, I’m convinced my assessment missed the mark by a country mile.
He’s not at all ill at ease. He’s a chicken poo twerp and a bully. He’d rather destroy another person’s accomplishments than admit his own mistakes, laugh at the underdog than extend a extend a helping hand and brag about his own actions before he gives credit to another person for their successes. No $10,000 suit will ever disguise that cold heart.
How humiliating. The leader of our closest international ally calls him out on his baloney because no one here had the guts to tell him you don’t insult your host in their own house. Classless twit. And he wants us to trust him with foreign policy? Really? That’s a train wreak waiting to happen.
15http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/london-mayor-mocks-romney-olympic-rally-204944027.html
I heard the mayor give his speech on BBC – the crowd did NOT care for Mittens.
I am thinking the Brits prefer the black guy…special relationship or not.
On his stop in Poland, he will no doubt start his speech with a couple of Polish jokes, and won’t be able to figure out why they won’t be laughing.
16Well, I can’t get it–I thought Mittens had to have the US Govt bail out the Olympics in Utah with some big cash after handing off all the contracts to his buddies at Bain (or contacts he made there) so its another thing he failed at– as governor, he left the State in bad shape, and he’s a job destroyer, not creator (successful at getting paid big bucks for that destruction and vulturing) he’s a bully and a asshat–as a professional, “you person” I’ve dealt with a lot of them…
17Monty Python was mentioned above, and it brought to mind the routine about the Upper-Class Twit Award. Rmoney is right in line for that one!
18Well, Well, Well.
Mitt has pissed off our best friend in the world. Who will come to our support when republicans want to go to war against Iran?
What’s going to happen when he visits Israel?
Will he start WW3?
What is the matter with this guy and which republicans thought it was a great idea to have Mitt be the nominee?
Or is this the ‘best’ republican money can buy??????
Actually it could have been worse. It could have been rick perry or rick santorum
19http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/26/romney-tells-public-of-secret-meeting-with-mi6-spy-chief/
Now he’s revealing secret meetings.
20We must be the laughing stock of the world.
I was born and raised in England, the English people are really
21savvy about politics, they follow things more closely than
most Americans do, perhaps it has something to do with being a smaller country, they know their own politicians well. They can see through a phony and they have certainly seen Romney for what he is. Don’t get me wrong, they are very fair minded as a rule, and to have this reaction about Romney – it really means he is a phony! A gold medal phony!!!!!!!
Romney charm = Offensive.
Yesterday was the most fun I ever had on the computer! I laughed so much my sides are sore. Today I’m mad because the San Antonio newspaper has only a very, very watered down story on Mitt’s terrible day. The new editor must be a Republican.
22What I’m wondering, is how Rafalco is going to tap dance without his posterior?
23I caught myself yesterday wringing my hands and wondering if we could convince Queen Elizabeth to take us back. The experiment has failed bigtime. I want to go home where even in this crazy era there is still a modicum of sanity in politics.
24From a commenter at the Guardian link above.
Red Squirrel Faction
Got to share this, from the comments on this story in the NYT:
TNFriendswood, Texas
All is not lost, Mitt! You can still mollify our friends across the Pond! All it takes is something in the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan, the Pirates of Penzance perhaps. Here goes:
“I am the very model of a modern major candidate.
My thoughts are incoherent, and I am without a plan, to-date.
I’ve managed the Olympics, and I quote my base hysterical
On everything from gun control to policies chimerical.
“I’m very well acquainted too with matters economical
25I outsource jobs in such a way I think you’d find quite comical.
About my healthcare history I am teeming with a lot of views
With many shameless flips and flops, depending on the facts I choose.”
@Lindy: BRAVO!
