http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3cvAjId ... r_embeddedAt a campaign stop this spring in Derry, New Hampshire, Mitt Romney pulled a gag that raised eyebrows. While posing for a photo with his arms around the waitresses at Mary Ann's Diner, Romney suddenly jumped forward, acting as if someone had pinched his hind quarters."Oh, my goodness gracious!" he exclaimed. The GOP presidential candidate later said he was "just teasing" and the gag is "kind of fun to do."

I am a little more tolerant of campaign & speech gaffes than most here because it would be so very tiring. Crazy schedules, all that travel time, heckling, etc. I can see why they have punch drunk moments at times.
Example #1? VP Joe Biden. He is like the White House Court Jester.
Asked to expound on the importance of Revere’s famous ride to rouse the countryside from Boston to Lexington and Concord on the night of April 18, 1775, Ms. Palin mangled history a bit.
Among other things, she said Revere warned the British (although to be fair his ride served as a wake-up call to the Redcoats that fighting in the colonies was going to be tougher than they’d thought), and that bells and shots alerted the Middlesex farmers. It was actually lights and shouting, as anybody who’s read Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s famous poem on this subject knows.
“...he who warned the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringin’ those bells and, um, makin’ sure as he’s ridin’ his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free. And we were gonna be armed.”
I'd post the list of Romney gaffes, but they're pretty much all listed in my sig-line...Palin is "a noun, and a verb, and the words 'freedom' or 'liberty' or something about 'guns'"... She's an intellectually empty populist, and at this point it's nothing but pure entertainment."

Now that's presidential......I think Romney will be a hoot at dinners overseas....he could probably get lessons from GW on how to treat foreign dignitaries to a back rub.
