The Right Scoop
I loved her last line ... "hmmm ok". I think she really was hoping to have a bash Romney tag team, but Piers let her down. LOL
Oh. My God. Mitt Romney spoke the truth! What a nightmare. How will the Brits get over this?
Don't worry, Piers will more than make up for his lack of hackery on this particular issue.
makes you wonder what's really happening in the news today. What is the media covering up? they are certainly making a lot out of nothing, because the way I heard it, Mr. Romney was only reiterating what the media has been talking about for weeks...striking tax drivers and other misc. stuff, yes that would seem "disconcerting" a week before the biggest sporting events of the year.
why weren't the media as offended when Obama sent the bust of Winston Churchil back? or when he gave the Queen of England an ipod loaded with all his speeches? now that is what I call disconcerting and something worthy of media recognition.
I'm sure Mr. Romney made similar comments about the olympics he ran. As an event organizer, you are always concerned about the little details running up to the opening day and something as big a deal as security could ruin the whole event. His comments made perfect sense to me. there was nothing in them they made me think he was dogging the organizers. Absurd!
I’m one of those Brit’s who is supposedly offended. Well I’m not.
I live less than a mile away from the Olympic Park and it’s a disaster. London is not ready. At Heathrow Airport, border control is chaos, waiting time for passport control can be up to 4 hours. Traffic is a disaster, everything is clogged up everywhere. Every morning you wake up there is talk about another strike. G4S, the company responsibly for security made a mess of it and then there is the transport system that seems to be having one problem after another.
Here is what this Londener has to say about all this
Romney simply told the truth and used very polite words in doing so. For a very long time I have been puzzled by the media and people's lack of the ability to see, examine, and accept the truth. My husband finally clarified it for me. He said the country has reached a point where they do not want to hear the truth. They want lies and controversy instead. So you see that old saying ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free has gone by the wayside.
I think the British press would love to participate in our elections and is fairly leftist (look at their politics and disdain for the Queen, for anything not socialist) , so it is a no-brainer to me that they will diss Romney every way they can.
Meanwhile, more and more people are losing their jobs nor can't find one, more and more people are losing their home, the economy sinks even deeper into the crapper, 0bama is still a Marxist with the only objective being to destroy everything that this country stands for and has been founded on, radical Muslims still want to kill every westernized human being.
The woman interviewing Morgan seemed to be disappointed that he didn't go off on Romney.
-- A little network bias maybe?
Brits are a bunch of wimps! They are just trying to nic-pic anything that Romney says to help Obama. I was suspicious of Prime Minister Cameron when he visited the US becasue did not even visit with the republican candidates. Cameron is not a conservative.
Brits aren't wimps - not those who actually work and aren't on the government teat - but their 'leaders' are. Cameron is another empty suit masquerading as a conservative, but very far from it.
An empty suit who is so devoid of intelligence that he consulted with 0zero on how to run his campaign a few years ago. He lost what should have been a landslide because he has never done an honest days work in his life. Went from university to his party HQ, then to a PR firm, then to Parliament.
He got a tiny majority that forced him into bed with the super-wimp, europe-loving 'liberals'. He lied about getting the UK out of europe and still hasn't done it. A one-worlder just like Blair.
Scum.
He's right. I'm writing from England atm. And people over here are just being sour that their country sucks; and that whilst Romney's may be 'sucking' currently under Obama, it still doesn't suck half as much as the UK has, since Old Maggie left office. Otherwise, I think secretly they agree with Romney's statement.

Piers Morgan? At what point did he become suddenly relevant to anything? He's the Chargé d’Affaires of all CNN wankers from other countries. And with bona fides to boot.
Screw him.

"Okay" - I love the downward inflection in her voice. This was the last word spoken in the interview and it sounded like she was disappointed that Piers wasn't piling on.
Romney was Captain Obvious on this one
It seems that every Country that sponsors these events regrets it
BUT - IMHO - should have not said anything publicly
That being said >>>
PIERS - Hates Britain and apparently they hate him - otherwise he would have a show there
Ha! That Info-Babe sure looked disconcerted by Piers remarks! The look on her face was priceless!
Ron Paul or Newt wouldn't have done this since they actually know how to communicate with people.
Unlike yourself, right? I read some of your previous posts. You're about as diplomatic as a wildfire. Practice what you preach one time.
It is called diplomacy. Presidential contenders are not suppose to show up in London and disparage their Olympics before they even start. Brit gov officials think "total car crash" and "worse that Palin"... ouch.
Oh and another thing, you guys have disparaged the Olympics by being cowards. Not having a moment of silence for the slain Israelis from the '72 Olympics is outrageous. Cowtowing to muslims by allowing a WALL to be put up between Lebanese athletes next to the Israelis because they didn't want to be next to Jews. Outrageous.
Allowing 100 shariah courts. Sick. Allowing female genital mutilation. Heck, muslims are coming from other parts of Europe to mutilate their daughters in England because you guys have no spine.
Hundreds of muslim girls go missing every year there to be forced into arranged marriages.
Your muslims pedophilic gangs raping British girls and your press won't even call them muslim. They call them Asian. My aunt's sister and family left England recently to move back to Hong Kong because they'd rather try their luck with the Communist Chinese than deal with the cowardly politicians of England that has allowed this islamic invasion.
Heck, your own gov't is the ones that decided you had to put the military on roofs during the games and you're offended that Mitt said it was disconcerting?
Maybe you Brits should channel your outrage where it's needed....the islamic invasion and the raping of your young girls.
I suggest you spend a bit more time demanding Brits get their guns back, stop islamic immigration, and demand Britain repatriate those 7th century savages back to whatever 7th century cesspool they crawled in from.
What he said was it was disconcerting about the stories of their security. Having read those stories, why wouldn't it be disconcerting. It is to me.
He didn't "disparage" their Olympics. He cited well-known facts that have been in the news, said it seemed like the Organizing Committee was addressing the concerns, and we'll have to see if they've done well enough after the fact. As someone who's done the same job, he can appreciate the fact that perfection is unattainable, and what counts is how well you correct the mistakes as they're discovered.
Right, you fail diplomacy 101, see Krauthammers remarks on the topic, he is spot on as always.
Right, and if he HAD just said, "Oh, everything's great! I'm sure it will all be perfect!" then they would have crawled him for being oblivious to problems that everyone knows about. Frankly, I would have been tempted to do that if I were in his place, and I'm glad he called it like he saw it.
The host made it sound like Romney said the Olympics themselves were disconcerting and then at the end, after Piers defended Romney, she said 'oh, okay' as if disappointed. He didn't say anything wrong, actually, and it's the Media that should be called out on the carpet for their faux outrage and made up controversies. I'm pretty tired of it.
Yes. You see, this is all of us doing this. If anybody thinks their one voice doesn't matter, just look around at what's happening. It's because our single voices ring out to others, on e-mail, on facebook, on twitter, on other blogs. It's expanding and one by one, the LSM are falling by the wayside.
The media will have to adapt or fall. The media used to say "never argue with someone who buys their ink by the barrel". Well, we found the answer to that one. Don't buy ink at all. Ignore them and use the keyboard. Money talks, BS media walks.
I tried - but if enough of us do - Maybe - something might give
Look at CNN - ratings are tanking!
BTW - Another one bites the dust >> Newsweek

Honesty from Piers? What's next? Dogs and cats, living together...
Nothing to see hear... the media is desparate to nail Romney with a gaffe... but this ain't it.
So stinking sad that some public figures get hammered for being honest.
