(375 posts)What is the defining image in the Washington Posts story on Mitt Romney, as a student at the Cranbrook School, bullying a gay teen-age boy? Maybe its Romney, the eighteen-year-old son of a governor, spotting the student, John Lauber, with, as a classmate remembered, bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and saying, He cant look like that. Thats wrong. Just look at him! Or Romney, a few days later, marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Laubers hair. Or the Posts description of the attack itself:
They came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.
