Oh, it just gets better and better

Remember how some of us thought that the big story of Mitt's trip was going to be his megabucks fund raiser with the white-collar-criminal element of the Piranha Brothers?  Well that was before Willard became a blight upon 'Ol' Blighty" -- and now look how that turned out:

Romney appears to have angered the entire of the British Isles in the past 24 hours.
Worse still, it seems that his fundraiser, which happened tonight, might not exactly be a huge success — it sounds like attendance could be a little thin.

Tickets to the event, which were originally priced at between $25,000 and $75,000, were being given away for just $1,000 a few hours before the event, UK right wing blogger Guido Fawkes tweets. Milo Yiannopoulos, a UK tech blogger, says he was offered a free ticket to the event three times.

Can't give away tickets to a fundraiser?

Rmoney is fast becoming the Glenn Beck of politics, isn't he?

That would be a real problem, except that the Rmoneybot can afford to pay people to attend, which is sort of an upscale version of buying your friends.

And yet he could still become president. It's reminiscent of the famous British newspaper headline in 2004: "How could 50 million people be so dumb?"
