americans, rich americans, in london and britain, so he s going out and doing that, but he s put his foot in his mouth yet again, because it s just been revealed some of the comments he s made in the last couple of years about britain. he called it a second-tier nation. he said it had produced nothing that anyone wants. hello. shakespeare, dickens, the beatles. tea. you know tea, mitt romney. the drink that you re not allowed to have because it stimulates the brain. you know, something that the hard of thinking worry about. ah. the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. martin lewis, thanks so much for your time tonight. my great pleasure. thank you. remember to answer tonight s question there at the bottom of the screen and share your thoughts on twitter @edshow and on facebook. i want to know what you think. coming up, his book is called no apology, yet mitt romney spent a good part of today apologizing. evan mcmorris-santoro of talking points weighs in. we ll be
undertone that people will pick up when they hear those words. whether or not they re intended. that s something he s going to take responsibility for. i don t think he s done that. yeah, you know, my late pastor who came up with the term the audacity of hope also said to me that look, a mosquito doesn t have to intend harm to you. it just wants blood. but it can give you malaria. intentionality does not embrace consequence. so even if his intentions are not such of a racial nature but the consequence, of course, do you buy romney s walk-back? because he doesn t appear to be conscious of what you just said. i don t know if i can buy the walk back. only because i don t know what he believes. again, you can t walk something back if you re not willing to express what your values are. so what is it that he s walking back in the first place? this adviser, who he kind of denied the adviser said he kind of denied there was an adviser. and then he kind of said he doesn t know who that
there they are. they were made in china according to bbc news. and yes, the one in the middle is mitt romney. which if you think about it looks a bit like this guy. the egotistical dude from beauty and the beast. see the likeness? that s awfully nice. and one more thing. mitt romney s wife has made it to the olympics with her horse. but mitt romney is so intent on not sounding like a rich guy he said this about his wife s olympic event. i have to tell you, this is ann s sport. i m not even sure which day the sport goes on. she will get the chance to see it. i will not be watching the event. i hope her horse does well, but just the honor of being here and representing our country and seeing the other olympians is something which i m sure the people that are associated with this are looking forward to. maybe he s getting another briefing from mi-6. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight s question, did mitt romney fail his first international audition? tex
olympic games. the message that he wanted to get out from this trip has been obscured. if he s here to make friends, he s got a funny way of showing it. oh, my goodness. i am even sorry for mitt romney. his trip to europe was designed to showcase his statesmanship, his ability to command respect on the international stage, and then mitt romney opened his mouth. i guess i really ain t that sorry. first, he insulted the british on their own turf, then he publicly acknowledged meeting with the head of mi-6, the international arm of the british secret service, something romney was supposed to keep to himself. romney also managed to snub the american press corps and he was publicly mocked by the mayor of london in front of tens of thousands of people. the gaffe field trip has prompted one conservative here at home to compare him to mr. bean. and while one of romney s advisers claims the presidential candidate intends to fully honor the special relationship between the u.s. and the uk,
about it. david axelrod makes a statement about it. the president doesn t have to say a word. because anybody who has any understanding of american history, and you have a better understanding of that than almost anybody. anybody who has an understanding of that can clearly see what s going on here. so all you have to do is put those words out there, let people interpret that as they will, and force the romney campaign to explain or defend what they re doing. you know, this has been a horrible week for mitt romney to go overseas to try to showcase his knowledge of foreign policy, his knowledge of his ability to be a commander in chief or his ability to create relationships with other nations. if this is what he s giving us, i don t understand how he expects the american people to buy into that. he s got to do a better job in order to convince people that he has something realistic that we should be willing to accept. yeah. maybe he better play down that anglo-saxon heritage and play
