As you can see in the picture above, Mitt Romney’s ‘ foreign goodwill tour has hit yet another wall. Okay, so this one’s actually the Wailing Wall, and Mitt is presumably using it to try and contact the planet Kolob, to ask god to maybe give him a break, once on this disastrous trip.
The Daily Mail, quartered in London (The kick-off point for Romney’s charmless and offensive ‘Charm Offensive’), is reporting that the Romney campaign was forced to cancel a $50,000-a-plate fundraiser in Israel, because they scheduled it for today which is Tisha B’Av, a day of fasting.

It doesn’t matter who you are, 50 grand is a lot of money for an empty plate.
Of course, if you’re the RNC and you have a lot of empty plates, what can you do?
Jonny Daniels, a leading Republican political strategist in Israel, told The Huffington Post that the campaign had been aware of the date of the holiday when it scheduled the fundraiser. The campaign thought it could hold the event in a way that would not offend, he said, but was taken by surprise at the ferocity of the public outcry over the timing.
“It wasn’t really a gaffe,” Daniels said. “They knew what the day was, but they were looking for the correct time and circumstance to do it. Instead it ended up seeming like a big dinner, but that’s not really what it is.”
“Don’t worry, they’re not going to not have a fundraiser,” he added. “They’ll find a way around it maybe by having a breaking of the fast meal combined with a Romney fundraiser.”
Don’t worry about us worrying, Jonny. We all know by now that the RNC and especially Mitt Romney, doesn’t have any shame. We know you’ll still get paid. Every time Romney or one of his stooges embarrasses the U.S. on the world stage, the more apparent it is that the only purpose of this ‘tour’ is to collect money from foreign power brokers, looking to ‘invest’ in a Romney presidency.

Ha ha! 41 straight months of 8% plus unemployment- a national record and still going strong. His flunky Jay Carney can’t even say which city the Obama administration considers to be the capital of Jerusalem. And hello, addicting info.com- you didn’t build this website! Obama is going to get his whining, finger-pointing, incompetent ass handed to him on a platter in November. I can’t wait to watch the debates when Captain Teleprompter trips over his own tongue. It’s going to be soooo sweet! You had better get used to saying “President Mitt Romney” after November 6th!
Pardon me, I meant to say Jay Carney can’t say what the capital of Israel is. He’s probably just too busy helping his boss kiss the asses of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Can you blame Romney for trying to shut out the press? He obviously works best in secret.
