Boris Johnson proves that Romney isn't the only moron on the world stage Aug 2nd 2012, 20:53 http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2...hnson-zip-wire And he's STILL a million times more acceptable than RMoney (no misspelling there). Quote: Boris Johnson has continued to make his presence felt at the 2012 Olympic Games – on this latest occasion he was left dangling 20ft in the air after getting stuck while taking part in a zip-wire act. For those who thought they had been given a break from the mayor of London's voice after the ditching of his transport message to tube and bus users, they only needed to look up to see the unmistakable figure of Johnson hanging wistfully in the air clutching a union flag in each hand. He took to the zip-wire in Victoria Park, east London, close to the Olympic Park, with safety helmet firmly on after Team GB's first gold medal victory. But after a promising start gliding along happily waving his flags, he lost momentum and came to a halt, dangling over a crowd of people, for a long and somewhat awkward moment. Johnson, always game, flashed his ankles as the safety harness pulled up the trousers of his smart suit, to the evident discomfort of the London mayor. As onlookers snapped photos on their mobile phones, he tried humorous small talk before calling out in mock despair: "Get me a ladder!" Once taken safely to the end of the ride and back on terra firma, the mayor said he thoroughly recommended it and mused that someone may have forgotten to take the brake off.
