Kinda late to the party aren’t cha?

Being the WAPO is already retracting.

Even without notice.

"retracting"?

So Backstabber Romney APOLOGIZED for an alleged
incident which, you claim, "did not happen".

Romney is clearly delusional.

Instapundit has a good roundup of the ongoing Compost walkback on this "story."

Pretty obvious that Biden's over-the-skis blurtation on Sunday led to Zero's premature evolution on Wednesday. That in turn meant that the trigger got pulled on the Romney bullying-homophobe WaPo story before it could be vetted at all - even by MSM standards.

Of course it's all fake but accurate. The Romney folks need to counter now before the bully meme gets set.

I listened to NPR this morning. They are not retracting. In fact, they are bringing up that multiple classmates are confirming the story and Romney is clearly not denying it, and even saying he admits he did "stupid" things in High School (don't we all).

His Richy Rich perception is increased with this one.

I'm really glad that this came out before the nomination process completed.

To be clear, what he did in HS is not a concern (short of selling drugs). But I believe it will be with a lot of voters. Many will see him as Biff Tannon.

Is this the same Boston Herald and Washington Post and New York Times that gave Bill Clinton a pass for jacking off in the sink in the Oval Office? If they didn't consider that a legitimate story how does this become a story worthy of 5500 printed words?

What’s ironic even if we were to pretend for purposes of discussion, the story were 100% accurate (which the family disputes)

I would bet good money, that the misfit encountering peer pressure and having his freak hairdo cut like any normal person, was PRECISELY why his parents sent him to an exclusive prep school, to have happen.

The parents almost certainly wanted that. It’s why he ended up there. Back then, it was either than, or the Army.

I would go further, and bet they gave him that exact choice.

They very likely sent him there, because they did not know how to handle him, and wanted their son to be normal.

Yeah, and the man that was supposedly bullied is dead and his family denies it happened. How did I know the man would be dead and not able to answer questions... Hmmm... And for those that keep saying Romney apologized for this, he said he never remembered doing anything like this but was a Prankster in HS.

This "story" is an example of how disconnected the leftwing media are from reality. Nobody cares about a highschool prank almost fifty years ago, and especially "bullying," a fabricated straw man of the homosexual lobby. It ranks right up there with the dog-on-the-car-roof "story." Normal people don't care about that one either. The only people who care about this are already obama zombies.
