1. I liked “W”’s approach best: “When I was young and foolish, I was young and foolish”. And he left it at that.
2. In the current public school concern about bullying, I have wondered what typically happens to all the bullies when they grew up? Did they ever apologize or improve? I think it is heartening to know that Romney remembers having been mean to that kid and regrets it. I don’t really care one way or the other how it affects him as a campaigner.
Actually Romney says that he doesn't remember it.
KILMEADE: Right and some were speaking out and listed in this story, they talk about a prank that could have gone on in high school with a guy named John Lauber, who they say that you and a couple of his friends, this guy was thought to be a homosexual, cut his hair — pinned him down and cut his hair. Do you remember any of this?ROMNEY: I don’t remember that incident and I’ll tell you I certainly don’t believe that I, I can’t speak for other people of course, thought the fellow was homosexual. That was the furthest thing from my mind back in the 1960s, so that was not the case. But as to pranks that were played back then, I don’t remember them all, but again, high school days, if I did stupid things, why I’m afraid I got to say sorry for it.
