All it took for Londoners to come together was Romney critiqueing their preparations. 80,000 hardened Brits screaming after Romneys balls at the behest of the Mayor? Yeah, Mitt was just trying to be the glue that binds together... I really liked the P.M.s comments about holding the Games in one of the most densely populated cities as opposed to Romney's in the middle of nowhere! And this dickhead wants to be President? Oh, please!

At least Romney didn't choose to ridicule Britain's dental hygiene. Yet.

They've seen what happens when a Republican starts ridiculing and demonizing someone; You end up laid off or losing benefits. The Europeans have little patience for scheming pricks like Romney, we Americans worship them. We want them to bend us over so they can accrue evermore for themselves. Well, some of us do anyhow.

Heh,heh-I hear you! So far I've only seen the Romney singing America the Beautiful one. I'll bet that one plays over and over in Ohio.
I use the DVR to avoid the commercials. The trippy part is the percentage of content vs adverts. 38 minutes out of every hour is the standard now. I get a kick out of the Alfred Hitchcock commentary from the late fifties to the early sixties. No mercy on the sponsors.

I bet Romney is considering retroactively cancelling his trip to Britain.

One of the nice things about Maryland, the Repubs know it is pointless to run adverts here and the Dems don't have to.
