Stop Me If You've Heard This One

I wonder how long the Obama campaign has been holding on to this story about how insensitive and bullying young Romney was (and still is, at least in the former), waiting for all the other Republican candidates to fall out of the running.

The Romney campaign allegedly asked that a friend and former classmate of the presidential candidate offer “supporting remarks” in the wake of a Washington Post article about his past.

The article, published on Thursday, described how Romney and his friends pinned down a fellow classmate, John Lauber, and cut his hair with scissors. Romney had complained that it was “wrong” for the boy, who was often teased and accused of being gay, to have such long hair.

Stu White told ABC News that Romney’s older brother asked him and several other classmates to counter the story. White said he was uncertain whether he would offer his support..

I'm thinking he just made that decision by squealing on them.

Responding to the story, Romney said at the time he had “no idea what that individual’s sexual orientation might be.”

“I don’t recall the incident myself but I’ve seen the reports and not going argue with that,” he told Fox News host Neil Cavuto. “There’s no question that I did some stupid things in high school and, obviously, if I hurt anyone by virtue of that I would be very sorry for it and apologize for it.”

According to the Washington Post, Romney also used to shout “atta girl!” at a classmate who was a closeted homosexual. Romney said he had no recollection of the event.

Elsewhere I read that he said he didn't remember the haircutting incident either, but he was sure he didn't think that guy was gay.

And speaking of great sporting events...

Republican Mitt Romney took the White House race into uncharted waters, suggesting he would like to challenge President Barack Obama to a bit of waterskiing.

“I don’t think I’ll play the president a round of golf but I’ll be happy to take him through a waterski course,” the presumptive presidential nominee said on Fox News on Thursday when asked whether he was as “hip” as the commander-in-chief.

Which is absolutely a top priority qualification for the oval office.

But wait! There's more...

We keep learning more disturbing, crazy things about the crop of sociopaths who all want to be our next President. Barry Obama is a secret muslim, Rudy Giuliani is a cross-dressing gay roommate-haver, and now Mitt Romney is detailing his horrible Mormon mating rituals:

We met in elementary school – we did. I was a Cub Scout, and she was riding a horse bareback over some railroad tracks. What do Cub Scouts do when they see a little girl on a horse? We picked up stones and threw them.

So that's what you learned in Cub Scouts? Really? Is that what Cub Scouts do? Nice upbringing. Did you also pull wings off flies?

Well, we do know he once led his blind teacher into a wall, deliberately.

These are the personalities that we call elite.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
