'Sit down you pig, I love you'

Only the colossally inept Romney campaign could so effortlessly couple these two sentences:

"Kiss my ass. This is a Holy site."

I once managed to learn a little--very little--Chinese and upon dining with some Chinese friends at a Chinese Restaurant I somehow uttered to one, "Sit down you pig, I love you." Roars of easily deciphered Chinese laughter ensued.  

My excuse? I was trying to speak Chinese. Romney's crew, to its detriment, is sticking with English.

To be fair, they were trying to speak Spin.

Unfortunately, they ended up speaking Marty. And for those that miss that, just chalk it up to my old age.

Hey I once tried to ingratiate myself with a French professor of engineering, with whom I had ambitions to work, by publicly complimenting him on his "petite gosses" a Quebec colloquialism for his delightful children. Little goslings. But he was from Paris where it is a slang term for balls, as in gonads. Something of which I was blissfully unaware. I got the job but much explaining was required. I'm not entirely sure the Romney gang is qualified to deal with the nuances of English.
