If I’m invited to someone’s house for dinner, and thought the green beans were overcooked, I’ve got the diplomatic sense to eat them and ask for more. Mitt Romney has no clue how to be polite or diplomatic. The very fact that the UK united joyfully against his rude statement, as true as it might have been, shows that he’s not ready for the world stage. Diplomacy is knowing when to tell the truth, and when to smile and wave. When the UK’s prime minister visits America, he doesn’t talk about how many Americans die from our lousy health care system. Because he’s a diplomat, and knows it would work against him.
