Watch: The Daily Show's Jon Stewart on Mitt Romney's visit to London

"Sometimes we Americans can be so arrogant, not understanding how we might appear to an global audience."

Jon Stewart lays into Mitt Romney's "foreign policy experience".

Jon Stewart ripped into Mitt Romney in his Daily Show monologue last night, lambasting the GOP presidential candidate for his comment that he found several things about London's running of the games "disconcerting".

“What are you doing?” Stewart asked. “This is no time to display your sophisticated knowledge of the inner workings of Olympic preparation. You are a guest at a dinner party that already started five minutes ago. Nod your [bleep] head and say it is delicious that is all you have to do.”

Brit's don't do scathing. Think stiletto, not chain saw.

He talks about arrogance of NBC yet he insults Scotland, Wales and Norther Ireland at 3minutes 15 seconds by stating the "ENGLAND" is America's great allies. I am sick and tired of Americans doing this time and time and time again! Please refer to your geography and go look ad see what Great Britain and United Kingdom comprises of! Do the Americans realise they have insulted the great regiments of Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland that indeed fight side by side the "English" regiments and importantly those Americians that seem to ignore the fact the rest of the UK exists outside England!

Well Duh! Notice how "Americans" refer to America when they actually mean the United States of America. You know, the noisy bit between Canada and Mexico, never mind all the countries such as Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, etc., etc.

I'm a Brit living in the US of A and I often have to explain that they are not Americans. They are Usavians. They never get it. ;-D
