Romney recently questioned the city's readiness to host the games in an interview with Brian Williams, angering many Brits. Prime Minister David Cameron hit back at the remark, and London Mayor Boris Johnson also chided the candidate. The gaffe was one of several that Romney made on the first day of his overseas tour. On Thursday's "Special Report," Krauthammer launched into a rant about Romney's Olympics comment...".* Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz discuss on The Young Turks.

  • Ben Mankiewicz is a typical ignorant American. Yes, the Winter Olympics is smaller than the Summer Olympics. But it's much bigger in scope than the Super Bowl, which is kind of a big deal.

    Who gives a shit? Every country that's too cold to grow oranges, dicknose. And then some.

  • TYT - Trying to milk this for all it's worth. That was a SPECTACULAR comment by Cameron though saying Romney's Olympics were in the middle of nowhere.

  • If there is one man who can comment on the Olympics its Mitt Romney, whether you agree or not thats another debate. The guy ran an Olympics that was absolutely doomed to be a failure and turned it around to be a huge success. Why is he not allowed to say what he thinks about what he sees going on since he ran them. I get that people were offended but give me a break it shouldnt be some huge blunder on something he sees. Plus he was just showing his skepticism about how they were going to make it More..

    • @The Grim

      Americans arnt always popular in the rest of the world, because thay can come across as a bit arrogent, thats how Romney has been seen in the UK by making a couple of comments. If your a big pollitacal person, the worst thing you can do is pass a negative comment about the country you visiting, it makes you look like a bit of a dick and thats whats happened here.

    • @The Grim He turned the games around by taking 500 million of taxpayer money. I could have turned it around for that much.

  • This guy needs work. Not ready for romper room time, let alone prime time.

    buuut.. Romney did act like a douche. So, he will be treated like one, now.
    At least in the UK.

    • @Blue3tar Actually listen to Romney's remarks. They were mild and he was only repeating stuff that had been screaming headlines in the UK.

      He did become a lightning rod for criticism though. Instead of all the backbiting in the UK everyone turned on Romney and started defending the Olympics.

  • If that crypt keeper Krauthammer changed says Mittens screwed up, it must be a big deal. He usually keeps his day busy by tonguing Mitts prostate, not trashing him.
