Sunday Talk: The special relationship

When Mitt Romney began his foreign tour this week, he was hoping to rekindle the Anglo-Saxon love between America and the nation of Great Britain'a love that had, in the estimation of conservatives, been forsaken when President Obama returned a bust of Winston Churchill that was on loan.

But even the best laid plans sometimes go awry; less than one full day into his trip, Romney's agenda was already in shambles.

Upon arriving in London, Mitt's first order of business was to throw Ann's horse under a double-decker bus.

He then proceeded to insult his hosts (again) with a series of boneheaded public comments, which royally pissed off our second-tier ally, and created an international incident.

The British press and politicians responded by making a mockery of Romney'in light of which, it's hardly surprising that he's decided to conduct his next foreign affair in secret.
