And now the mayor of London is joining the fun:

Speaking in front of 60,000 assembled in Hyde Park at a concert to mark the end of the Olympic Torch relay, the London Mayor reaffirmed the city's zeal for the historic event.

'There are some people coming from around the world who don't yet know if we are ready,' the Mr Johnson roared.

'There's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we are ready. Are we ready? Yes we are!'

9. keep on putting your foot in your mouth, Mitt

When my son comes back from his beach holiday in north east England I am going to ask him about the people's thoughts on Mitt..

15. Unfortunately (in this case) those "people's" won't vote in this election.

But some of the U.K.'s wealthiest citizens may participate in our election through their corporations' superpac donations...with approval of the U.S. Supreme Court.

[Atman]

10. BRING DA PAIN! LOL!

Romney is such a fucking douche bag.

The smack down couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

[muriel_volestrangler]

11. Boris is infamous for gaffes himself, but at least he knows it and can joke about it

13. And he's a Tory, no less!

although, he's an independent-minded Tory, kind of like NYC's Bloomberg minus the nanny-state crap.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. Watched the video of the mayor.

He referred to Mitt Romney as "some guy".

Ouch.

[lastlib]

18. Probably more painful to Mittens than "you people" is to us proles....

[yellowcanine]

17. Mitt opens wide and inserts his foot.

19. Yo Mitt -- London farts in your general direction!

[Initech]

20. His mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries!!

[Arugula Latte]

22. They should catapult a cow at him during the Opening Ceremonies.

[Initech]

23. "Mitt, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

[Arugula Latte]

26. Questioner: "What is your favorite color?" Mitt: "Blue--wait, no, green!"

Another flip-flop.

[Initech]

34. Mitt: Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!!

[A HERETIC I AM]

33. Maybe Mitt just needs to build a large, wooden badger

[YellaDog1950]

21. Mission Accomplished....

He has now done exactly what we expected him to do. Dang, what an embarrassment.....and only a glimpse of monumental gaffes that we would endure if he were in an official position to represent the people of this nation. Dang.

[RickFromMN]

25. Mittens didn't go to the UK to get votes. He went there to get money.

He will call the trip a success--and by his standards, it will be a success. He will get the cash.

The vast majority in the United States won't hear what Mittens did in the UK.

The vast majority won't care what Mittens did in the UK.

We have to keep hammering how Mittens will offshore jobs and screw the working person.

I actually believe Mittens overseas is good for Mittens. Mittens won't be making gaffes here.

32. They just reduced the price of attending his fundraising dinner to 10 grand...

down from 25!

27. More fodder for www.Unfit-Mitt.com

More fodder for my noncommercial website--www.Unfit-Mitt.com--which displays my political cartoons and illustrations (over 100) about the dishonest 2012 Romney/GOP campaign, FREE for use in websites, blogs, newsletters, etc.

28. Excellent I love it!!!!!!

[nikto]

30. What a wise man Mayor Johnson is!

I love Mayor Boris Johnson.

[Gregorian]

35. The most remarkable thing about this is that it comes from a conservative.

And my experience with Britons is that Boris is considered to be a bumbling fool.

Add to it what Cameron said, and it makes the American conservative look like an absolute lunatic.
