(And not to hide money)

The Mittster, while taking a three-nation swing,
Showed talent for saying the very wrong thing.
He teed off our English friends lickety-split;
The tabloids in London town called him a twit.
Apparently having no motives ulterior,
He seemed to be calling the Arabs inferior.
In English and Arabic venom Mitt bathed.
’Twas only in Poland he came out unscathed.
His trip, meant to show foreign-policy cred,
Because of Mitt’s gaffes was a model instead
Of what not to say when abroad one doth roam.
So here’s the consensus: he should have stayed home.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
