Let's face it: Romney went all "Pip, Pip, Tally-ho!" on the UK and they ain't buyin' it.

All that's left is to yell "Yeah, Baby, Yeah!", remind them of the Revolution, choose the "wrong" football team, call Her Majesty the Queen "the Old Girl," or imply that the Brits were nothing until the Yanks arrived in WWII.

I mean, seriously.

in a lot of other countries he'll have to speak through a translator so maybe they won't really understand how much of an ass he's actually being.

Whenever he would say something truly stupid or offensive he would blame the translator and fire them.

Or at least after sundown on Saturday. So Mitt will have to find some other way to be uncharming and offensive.
