Fun & Games.

Well chaps, Olympic screw-ups have already started.

The North Korean team were welcomed by the organisers flying the South Korean flag. As the two countries are still technically at war, this didn't go down well.

If that's the case, then I'd like to buy the decision maker a drink.

Mitt does London! For someone who values our cousins across the pond, he certainly has a funny way of showing it. The Mayor of London gave him a right good public caning for his comments that London could have done a better job of it.

Good for you Mitt! Reinforce the reputation of the Ugly American on holiday. Brilliant job, Herr Baron Willard Mittlothian Leber Von Romney! (Oops, sorry. It must be my Hessian turncoat ancestry rearing it's ugly head...)
What a joke! Too bad it reflects on us. I wonder what kind of faux pas he's going to whip out in Poland? Why isn't France or Germany on the itinerary?

Please don't judge us by this buffoon with a silver spoon stuffed up 'is arse.
He's just an innkeeper with a pub called The Prancing Pony in Salt Lake, Utah.

Mitt really stepped on his dork. His base probably loved it because they view all Europeans as evil soci@lists.

The only reason Poland is on his itinerary is because the missile shield got cancelled, so no doubt he will promise to revive it if elected. Of course the citizens of Poland don't vote in our elections. Or after citizens united maybe they do.

These are the comments pounced upon?

"There are a few things that were disconcerting, the stories about the private security firm not having enough people, supposed strike of the immigration and customs officials, that obviously is not something which is encouraging. Because there are three parts that makes Games successful.

"Number one, of course, are the athletes. That's what overwhelmingly the Games are about. Number two are the volunteers. And they'll have great volunteers here. But number three are the people of the country. Do they come together and celebrate the Olympic moment? And that's something which we only find out once the Games actually begin."

Is the new "Dear Leader" going to send telepathic instructions again?
