Teen Romney was the villain in a John Hughes movie

[Wrong Element]

Busybody has a thread on this, but for those among us who have him on Ignore:


Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney apologized on Thursday for what he called high school pranks that may have hurt others, after a report that he and other students at a Michigan school bullied a student who was presumed to be gay.

"I did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt by that or offended ... obviously, I apologize," Romney said in response to a Washington Post story that detailed a 1965 incident in which Romney pinned down a fellow student and cut his hair.

The report about Romney's days as a prep school student whose pranks sometimes crossed the line into meanness toward presumed gay classmates came a day after Democratic President Barack Obama declared that he now supports same-sex marriages.

Remember when the GOP chortled over John Kerry, boarding school twit? Meet Willard "Mitt" Romney, prep school punk. Add in the dog torture story, and the notion that the Mittster just may be a complete asshole begins to come into focus.

And I doubt Mittens could punch his way out of a paper bag

Jesus, yet another reason I'll never run for office. Someone would dig up an old prep school classmate and find out I watched Excalibur every Sunday for a year and played Dungeons and Dragons in my dorm room.

Or worse, they'd go even deeper into the past and find the two friends from sixth grade to tell the story about how we killed that snake and then pissed on it.

That wouldn't keep me from voting for you.

I probably wouldn't vote for whoever beat you up because of that stuff, though.

Hey, a lot of us did things when we were kids we're embarrassed about. The number of us who reveled in hurting people when we were kids is a lot smaller, though.

It all fits in with what we know of Romney currently: someone who believes that people with wealth and power are simply better than everyone else.

Curiously enough, I've never been beat up. For a skinny, timid kid with a serious wiseass problem, I was fortunate to stay out of fights all my life.

Those were the kids in prep school I fucking hated. The ones who thought I wasn't good enough because my dad was only a bank president. The ones who owned their own cars and whose parents showed up in limos for parents' weekends. Gah. What a bunch of assholes they could be.

It's interesting that the ones from serious, old money, ruling class aristocrats, like the grand daughter of the president of Panama, were generally really wonderful people. I had the same experience when one of the Rockefellers took a class I was teaching. She was great company, a lovely person.

But, consider, your opponents would come under the same spotlight.

I'm not sure how much consolation that would be.

What I really want is for some pervert on here to run for office and get "outed" as his screen name on Lit, so Drudge will publish all his posts.

He's begun calling me Nigel. I'm not sure what's up with that (though I suppose it's better than calling me Niggerelement). I'm not English, and nobody is making plans for me.
