Last week, London Mayor Boris Johnson called out Mitt Romney:

“There are some people who are coming from around the world who don’t yet know about all the preparations we’ve done to get London ready in the last seven years,” Johnson said. “I hear there’s a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we’re ready. He wants to know whether we’re ready.

“Are we ready? Are we ready? Yes, we are!” Johnson says, exhorting the crowd to cheer.

When Romney said he wasn’t sure they London was ready, he might have been referring to the zip line Mayor Johnson got stuck on today during his dramatic entrance into Olympic park. He was left dangling for a few minutes — long enough for the crowd to take some souvenir photos:

Somebody might owe Romney an apology:

Normally politicians put taxpayers on the hook so it’s nice to see it the other way around for a change.
