Romney's London False Start - If it we were doing a riff on Mitt Romney's trip to the U.K. as a British album, it might be something like London Call-Out, Never Mind the Bollix, or Help!.

But that would be silly. In the spirit of the Olympics, we'll stick to sport.

If there were an Olympics for diplomacy, Romney likely wouldn't be on pace to bring home a medal from London in 2012.

This was supposed to be the trip to remind everyone about Romney's stewardship of the 2002 Salt Lake City games and contrast his statesmanlike demeanor with Barack Obama's 2008 messianic trip to England and Germany.

Romney has been in London for not even two days and already he's been verbally upbraided by the London mayor, the subject of a snide comment by the British prime minister, had an unnamed staffer criticized for comments about a shared "Anglo Saxon heritage" and referred publicly to the head of the British spy agency MI6, which is apparently in England just not done.

The video of London Mayor Boris Johnson using Romney's remark about "disconcerting" preparations to rev up a crowd of 60,000 in Hyde park is remarkable.

PM David Cameron's jibe about Salt Lake City being the middle of nowhere was cheeky.

Cameron later amended after talking to Romney. "He ran a successful Olympic Games in his own country and I think he's very much looking forward to seeing some of the events here. So, I felt a vote of confidence from what he said."

Horse-Sized Distance From Dressage - Romney said today he's excited to watch swimming at the Olympics because as he told Deputy PM Nick Clegg today, "Americans typically do well in swimming." He distanced himself from dressage in an interview on NBC - http://abcn.ws/QlCR9j

Police, Gun Control Advocates Push Washington for Action -Police and gun control advocates today sounded a louder call for politicians to take a stand against gun violence - despite Congress's lack of political will to touch the issue, or the White House's affirmation that President Obama had no plans to put new gun laws on the books. http://abcn.ws/MJ4MhZ (Julie Percha)
