Mitt Romney hasn't changed

Cut off his fag schoolmate's dyed hair.

If he'd kicked the kid's face in, we could have skipped all the Republican-primary nonsense.  You couldn't offer those voters a better credential.

Too bad hate crimes hadnt been invented in the 1960s - otherwise we could all be outrageously outraged.

I mean, if somebody claims that the freshman that I duct-taped to the hallway floor when I was a junior was targeted because he was gay (not true, he wasnt) and he later died (completely unrelated to the assault), well... there goes my public office ambitions!

Unconfirmed reports also indicate that Mitt Romney once cut somebody off on the interstate in the 1980s because the victimized motorist was gay

Mitt Romney also tied a dog to the roof of his stationwagon because the dog was gay

Classy comments.

People change. I did. But Romney's non-apologetic apology dismissal suggests that he is still that bratty fuck who thinks it's his lot in life to impose. Whether Mittens did it because the guy was gay, or because he thought the guy shouldn't have that color/length hair -- does the reason really matter? What matters is who that bungling purveyor of awkwardice is now -- and I think we have our answer.

I'm with you on that one.

"Folks, I'm here to address the Washington Post story about my behaviour when I was in high school. I'm sorry to say that the story is true. I did that, and I was a jerk to do it.

"Mr Lauber, if I could still apologise to you, I surely would.

"I hope, and I believe, that in the forty years since that episode I've grown beyond who I then was. I look forward during this campaign to demonstrating who I am now.

"I'm ready to take your questions."

But we didn't hear that from him, did we?

That is an apology I could admire respect.

And you'll never hear him make that kind of apology, because that's not who he is, in-my-not-so-humble-opinion.

No; that's not who he is. He's a rich kid with a mean streak. George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, shelled from the same pod. People like them don't apologise.
