I predict that RMoney will make major mistakes during his little trip abroad.

His mouth will overflow and his foreign policy speeches, crafted by his PNAC masters, will sink him. I'm anxiously awaiting the continued slow motion train wreck!

Its already stated with the "anglo-saxon" comment made by one of his advisors. The foreign press will rip him apart.

He can't open his mouth without offending someone.

Now it's a foreigners turn to be the target of Mr. Businessman's ignorance.

We do still hate the French, right?
Are they still serving Freedom Fries at the Congressional cafeteria?

Mitt's campaign has literally been a rolling production line of gaffes, goofs, mistakes, missteps, misreads, and misjudgements -- none of which inspire confidence in his leadership abilities. It's gotten to the point where it's just a matter of how soon he'll outdo himself.

But sometimes, the way Romney communicates to our species, it's not always clear what he intends to say.

Maybe dolphins could help?

If the gaffes are significant enough and reported heavily in the UK and elsewhere, the US media will have no choice and will have to cover the story.

CBS reported the anglo-saxon gaffe. Unfortunately though the Australian situation hasn't been covered at all.

Getting his voters to care about those mistakes at all is another matter entirely.
