<p>NEW YORK (<a href="http://bit.ly/NhEEu0" target="_blank">The Borowitz Report</a>)—One
day after he was roundly criticized by both parties for his comments
about Libya, Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney attempted to
burnish his foreign-policy credentials today, telling reporters that “no
one has spent more time overseas than my money has.”</p>
<p>“My money has served in banks from Switzerland to Bermuda, and from
Bermuda to the Cayman Islands,” Mr. Romney said. “I challenge my
opponent’s money to equal that record of service.”</p>
<p>Doubling down on his latest theme, Mr. Romney promised that “on Day
One of my Presidency, I will ensure that American money is safe and
secure in secret vaults and underground caves around the world.”</p>
<p>Mr. Romney’s recent foray into foreign policy
may have hurt him in a new poll, in which a majority of likely voters
agreed with the statement, “Mitt Romney is starting to make his trip to
the London Olympics look like the pinnacle of modern diplomacy.”</p>
<p>An official statement from the Romney campaign did not refer to his
latest comments, but indicated that between now and the election Mr.
Romney’s schedule would deëmphasize events where he might be called upon
to open his mouth.</p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Art Deco (Wayne A. Fox)<br><a href="mailto:art.deco.studios@gmail.com" target="_blank">art.deco.studios@gmail.com</a><br><br><img src="http://users.moscow.com/waf/WP%20Fox%2001.jpg"><br>
