Mr. Romney in another yearbook photograph from Cranbrook. Old acquaintances described an episode in which he bullied a fellow student. Mr. Romney acknowledged playing "pranks."

So what about Romney? If he really doesnt remember the event it says
something deeply troubling about him. It would mean that he committed
this act against his classmate without feeling very much about it one
way or the other and without reflecting on his actions later in life.
Maybe this was just another day at Cranbrook for him. I would find that
deeply disturbing because that is consistent with the behavior of a
sociopath.

I don't get it. Is that supposed to be funny?
Yep. I went to school with him, too.

When there are two girls making out and there's a douche behind them putting upside down devil horns to his tongue. That particular douche is the Hoverbag. "Uh, guy, can you get out of the shot like, NOW and shit??"
Mitt is merely doing the prehistoric Mormon version of that . . .

he's just as insufferable now as he was back in the old days.
Remember the "Mitt Romney wears mom jeans" kerfluffle? Uh yeah... not much has changed. Those aren't terrible pants, but to use 1950s slang, he looks like a square.
