Insulting his British hosts, stumbling over "Anglo-Saxon heritage," blabbing about MI6, holding a press conference without calling on any American reporters, making offensive, culturally snooty comments in the Middle East.... sheesh. Did anything about Silly Willy's recent overseas excursion go right?
Well, maybe Poland? We're not sure, because it appears that Solidarity and Lech Walesa kinda got their wires crossed.
So, the trip was a bomb. But does it matter? We cats say, yes, actually.
It matters insofar as Romney's bumblings make it more difficult for foreign-policy Republicans — say, like Colin Powell — to pivot from their 2008 Obama support and endorse him.
It matters in that it makes inside-the-Beltway media types like Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer — who don't love Willard to begin with — even more restive.
It matters in that it was a lost opportunity for the campaign to control its message... whatever that was.
But apparently it raised a lot of money.
Poor Willard. Maybe he should nominate himself for a Titanic Award.
UPDATE: We have not mentioned the Romneybot's comments in Poland that the press should kiss his you-know-what and "shove it." Aside from the fact that the campaign clearly is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, we don't understand why they would invite all those reporters on an overseas trip and then not talk to them.
