The British press is having a blast with Romney’s arrival in London. Mitt’s gaffes have been occurring almost hourly and the Republican presidential nominee is now being dubbed Mr. Bean. He’s been stumbling around London as if he’s the half-wit love child of a Dubya/Palin love tryst. Romney’s gone from disparaging the Brits’ efforts in preparing for the Olympics to referring to the UK as “the nation of Great Britain.” (There is no such nation. Great Britain is an island consisting of three nations: England, Scotland and Wales. Along with Northern Ireland, they form the United Kingdom.) Not knowing your host country’s name is not the brightest thing an aspiring American president can do when abroad.
If you’ve missed any of Mitt’s gaffes , you can catch up on the fun here.
Andrew Sullivan has noted that right-wing media has said little if anything of Romney’s blunders. No surprise there, of course. One exception has been conservative blogger, Dan Riehl, who expressed his thoughts on Prime Minister David Cameron defending his country’s efforts in staging the Olympics. When I think of the term ‘ugly American’, I’m thinking exactly of people like Dan Riehl. Here’s what this guy wrote.
A Limp Wrist-ed David Cameron hits back at Mitt Romney over Olympic doubts
Get over it, Britain. You’re a second rate, semi-degenerate nation still on the way down because you went too far to the left too long ago for anyone to care about. Don’t expect us to wring our hands over what you losers did. We’re too busy fighting to make sure it doesn’t happen here.
I really give a flip about what David Cameron thinks. yawn … just be glad we continue to allow you to think you’re actually in the game on most things. Now, get out of our face and try to not screw up the Olympics more than you have already.
Mostly a bunch of feckless wankers if you ask me. Put a Gold Medal on that and aim it at the Queen’s arse. How ya liking America, now, mates? LOL
Disgusting and juvenile but what more would you expect from a Breitbart.com writer. Sleaze is what Riehl knows. Sleaze is what Riehl does. You might be interested in knowing this guy is one of Romney’s approved bloggers.

I honestly believe Romney is too dumb to lead a box of dumb rocks out of the box.
The Brits are not the American press. They are brutal when it comes to their politicians. They will chew him up and spit him out and then, unfortunately, he will come back.
No wonder he was the innovator of outsourcing – that was the easy solution, he would have had to think in order to find a solution that would have kept Americans working.
If America elects this moron, we’re toast.
Amen, Diana — scares the hell outa me!!
Thus the origin of the phrase “Mitt happens”.
Don’t dismiss Romney too lightly, however. Remember this
Romney just proved he’s an international man of asshat!!! The Platzner Post Facebook, and Twitter https://www.facebook.com/ThePlatznerPost
Mitt Happens.
Nice. I’m feeling an illustration coming up…
The funny part is Romney saying that Obama goes over seas and apologizes for America, then Romney goes over seas and America is left having to apologize for him. I think the republicans should have vetted Mitt a little better.
The odd thing here is that Romney really isn’t stupid. I myself have used this description, but the error is common when we observe someone who actually is clueless.
He lives in a misty, cloistered bubble of synthetic cotton candy. He is surrounded by staffers who remind him hourly what he must say and portray. He is an actor playing a part which is as foreign to him as if he was chosen for the lead in “Auntie Mame.” He is as awkward and phony as a puppet can be. He is a suit stuffed with straw. Give him a business to run and he might be himself (which I think is only about a millimeter thick in the first place). But ask this guy to display the depth, character and acuity required to be the leader of the free world…
Give him a good wig and he would be better playing your eccentric rich Auntie…
OH PLEASE DON’T REMIND ME OF THE BUSH YEARS…MISS MT YET???? HELL NO
I’m loving the headline “Mitt the TWITT” in the Evening News…and I’m so proud of my ancestral roots these days!!!
Mario…put a wig in it!
Mittens is shamelessly self-promoting…proclaiming that HE and only HE knows how to OUTSOURCE, oops, MAKE THE OLYMPICS PROFITABLE…and unabashedly whistling “AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM”…HIS brand.
My brand is the unimaginable courage and persistence of the American people against the odds…undaunted in their efforts to create and recreate the American Dream.
FORWARD,dammit.
my favorite dan reihl post is the one that talks about him being afraid of a group of black children.
My vision of him was the “batteries not included” pull the string on him doll to get the pre-programmed script. Without the batteries or the script, he’s just a stuffed man doll. And in all reality, he would be better off if he were mute.
