A Romney spokeswoman dismissed the reports of Mitt's school days misbehaviour as being unimportant, because it happened so long ago. Her opinion was that this subject was not worthy of discussion.
Below is an e-mail I sent my favorite Sexy Liberal Radio Yak-Show Hostess, Stephanie Miller. It briefly tells about an incident from Manhattan High School way back in the previous century. I have thought about what happened that day but have never talked about it out loud. I can't take it back now.
There was a boy in my high school class who, perhaps was
gay; maybe his voice didn't hadn't changed yet; he just sounded
different. One day I mockingly imitated him when I yelled out his name
across the crowded lunchroom. My buddies and I got a good laugh. He may have had
problems other than jocks making fun of him in public, because later that school
year he used a shotgun to kill himself.
What I did was mean, thoughtless, and wrong. Unlike Mitt
Romney, I remember what I did. It was 1973, but I recall what a horrible thing I
did. I remember exactly.
Perhaps Mitt has had so many of these incidents he can
not separate one memory from another.
This does matter, even though "it was a long time ago".
Jesus was here a long time ago; Joseph Smith was here a long time ago; the
Constitution and Declaration of Independence were written a long time ago; 9-11
was a long time ago; these things all matter today.
It appears that as a high-schooler, Mitt did not care about people. As a businessman, Mitt did not care about people. As a politician, Mitt does not care about people (unless they are also corporations).
