Borowitz: Romney’s Gaffes Worsen in Israel

[Contrary1]

TEL AVIV (The Borowitz Report)—The Mitt Romney Gaffe Express pulled into a new station today, leaving its conductor’s hopes of proving himself to be a nimble statesman in tatters.

Mr. Romney’s troubles began in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to whom he presented gifts of a HoneyBaked ham and a wheel of cheddar cheese.

After Mr. Netanyahu ordered both gifts removed from his residence and destroyed, Mr. Romney went on to address the Knesset, where he congratulated the Jewish people on building the pyramids.

“Ann and I saw them during a cruise we took to the Middle East, and they were magnificent,” he told the stunned legislators. “As accomplishments go, building the pyramids isn’t up there with saving the Olympics, but you should still feel very, very proud. Nice job.”

[No Elephants]

1. Being able to understand Brits better than Obama bc Romney is Anglo Saxon

was probably very well received in Israel, as was scheduling a fundraiser on Israel on a religious fast day for Jews.

2. Romney very likely does believe the pyramid thing...........nt
