  Read the headlines and it was the candidate's foreign trip from hell: a succession of mishaps capped by an expletive-laden tirade from an exasperated aide to an equally exasperated group of travelling reporters. In fact, Mitt Romney's foray to Britain, Israel and Poland is likely to have only the tiniest impact on his chances of winning the White House in November.
  
  Last night President Barack Obama's Republican challenger was heading back to the US from Warsaw, scene of a final brouhaha, as his travelling press secretary lashed out at reporters who yelled questions at Mr Romney after he laid a wreath at Poland's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
  
  "Do you have a statement for the Palestinians?" shouted one as the candidate walked back to his car. "Do you feel your gaffes have overshadowed your trip?" yelled another. Mr Romney ignored them, but not so Rick Gorka. "Shove it," he said, before inviting another questioner to "Kiss my ass". The spokesman quickly called the reporters involved to apologise. But the damage was done.
