Since Romney didn't "almost start a war with England", why should I take anything Andy Borowitz says seriously?
And why should we take you seriously when you post something that you know is a lie?
Did Romney make England, one of our greatest allies and cultural trading partners, feel all warm and fuzzy on such an event as the Olympics? The English people are too reserved and prudent to let such words ruffle their feathers to the point of protests like some other countries might have done over such thoughtlessness and callous.
This quote by Andy is a figure of speech used to demonstrate how "off base" Romney's line of inquisition was.
Not a lie but a figure of speech.
Literal = the ground is dry
Figure = the ground is thirsty
Does the ground have a mouth?
Some wars are waged by words and are cold and calculated...
