Mitt Romney Retroactively Insults Britain in Book

I don't really get Mitt Romney's decision to make a special trip to England just so that he can insult its government and its people in as many ways as he can come up with. But hey, I've never been much of a long-term strategist.

Even so, I'm gonna say that building a time machine just so that he can go back in time to 2010 before his book No Apology was published just so that he throw this in this catty comment seems a tad excessive…

"England is just a small island. Its roads and houses are small. With few exceptions, it doesn't make things that people in the rest of the world want to buy. And if it hadn't been separated from the continent by water, it almost certainly would have been lost to Hitler's ambitions."

How much you wanna bet that right now he's got top men working on a perpetual motion machine capable of sticking his foot in his mouth an infinite amount of times between now and November?
