Did Mitt Romney assault a prep school classmate?

Actually, this non-story is continuing proof that President Downgrade needs this election to be about ANYTHING BUT his record.

 

It bothers me quite a bit. That's a super shitty thing to do to somebody, and he was a legal adult when he did it.

 

Actually, the age of legal adulthood was 21 in 1965. Couldn't vote at age 18 until 1971, couldn't drink till 21 in most states until early 70s.

 

Agree. Doesn't say much for his consensus-building skills either.

 

Especially when you can remember with crystal clear clarity going to the World's Fair with your dad a year earlier.

Oh, wait...

So it's not so bad if he's 17 years and 10 months old. Got it.

 

B. Rabbit: [rapping] ... Don't ever try to judge me dude / You don't know what the fuck I've been through / But I know something about you / You went to Cranbrook - that's a private school / What's the matter, dog? / You're embarrassed? / This guy's a gangster? / His real name is Clarence / Now Clarence lives at home wit both parents / And Clarence parents have a real good marriage...

 

It's still awful then, but I wanted to cut off the "but he was just a kid" excuses before they happened. Of course, this is all just headed to this anyway:

Well, you should know what they are up to considering you are on Team Obama, or at least act like you are....

 

He mourns for his real mentor, Vidal Sassoon.

 

So you're saying the U.S. committed war crimes by using child soldiers in Vietnam?

 

Some interesting reader comments on a story posted on The New Yorker web site:

"Total bullshit made up story by four left wingers...the only righty is the 5th guy, Stu White, who has already fessed up that he wasn't even there. Queer timing should've been first clue coming 47 years after on the day following Obama's big coming out party. Nice try libs but still weak as your annoited one's economic policies."
