Adding a bit to mistermix about how Mr. Personality has already pissed off the British on his little “pretend I’m the President” world tour. I especially liked this response from the PM:
That prompted a tart rejoinder from the British prime minister, David Cameron. “We are holding an Olympic Games in one of the busiest, most active, bustling cities anywhere in the world. Of course it’s easier if you hold an Olympic Games in the middle of nowhere,” an allusion to Salt Lake City, which hosted Games that Mr. Romney oversaw.
And the Brits aren’t the only ones pissed off. Via Political Wire, the Mittster’s U.S. media minders are not amused:
Romney’s press-corps faux pas: During his meeting with Miliband, according to the pool report, Romney answered questions from British reporters but did not take any questions from the American reporters, which isn’t protocol. In fact, it’s considered a bit of an insult to the U.S reporters who are following the presumptive GOP presidential nominee overseas.
My considered advice to Chuck and the rest of the campaign media corps is don’t get mad, get even.
