Well, that's funny - I praise a Romney performance and then he runs off to London and gaffes his foreign proto presidential promenade to death in its febrile infancy. He has an unfortunate knack for making awkward statements - although in many ways they're awkward only in the sense of not being perfectly attuned to the dictates of political correctness, because his Olympics gaffe was a simple statement of truth - but that's not to excuse the misstep, you just can't say what he said unless it was your intent to piss off England - which is actually what I thought at first, a response to the sad embarrassment of Cameron's obsequious fawning over Obama when he was in Washington - but there's no way it was deliberate [although as way of compensation Romney's taunt that he would like the bust of Churchill back was a nice touch].
