Breaking: Romney apologizes for high-school pranks; Update: Audio added
posted at 11:26 am on May 10, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Thankfully, our long national nightmare is over:
Mitt Romney apologized on Thursday morning for pranks he helped orchestrate in high school that he said “might have gone too far,” including an incident in which he pinned down a fellow student and cut his hair.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee was responding to an article published a few hours earlier by The Washington Post documenting the episode with first-hand accounts from Romney’s classmates.
“Back in high school, I did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that,” Romney said in a live radio interview with Fox News Channel personality Brian Kilmeade. Romney added: “I participated in a lot of hijinks and pranks during high school and some might have gone too far and for that, I apologize.”
Romney’s campaign hastily scheduled the radio interview for the candidate to call in from Omaha, where he is holding a campaign event later Wednesday, to respond to The Post’s report.
Politically speaking, this was the smart thing to do. Other campaigns would have tried challenging the veracity of the stories and/or the motives of the witnesses, but that’s a losing proposition. The more a campaign debates those points, the longer the story goes, and the more legitimacy it has in the media. Instead, the Romney campaign made it an old story before it began to grow legs by just expressing remorse over any cruelty that may have taken place in high school.
I eagerly await the next set of stories about how in middle school Romney refused to give cuts in line to kids from low-income families, or how he shamelessly violated the “exies-no-erasies” rule in elementary school with his female classmates.
Update: Via BuzzFeed, here’s the audio from Romney’s interview in its entirety:
“I don’t remember that incident,” Romney told Kilmeade, chuckling. “I certainly don’t believe that I thought the fellow was homosexual. That was the furthest thing from our minds back in the 1960s, so that was not the case.”
One e-mailer suggested that the hairstyle might have been the focus of the prank, not perceived orientation. Cranbrook would likely have had a fairly strict set of rules on personal appearance. Either way, it’s still a mean-spirited thing to do, but teenage boys (or girls, for that matter) aren’t known for their sense of proportion or maturity in every moment of the day, either.

No, I drop-kicked edwina for that one too. It’s on either Page 6, or 7, or 8…

I’d rather know what kind of “tickling” ends up in a broken arm. That just sounds… off…
Or, let’s move ‘er up into the past 20 years and what’s the story with Obama’s blow habit. Did he snort some off a hooker’s bare butt? How much? When?
PS: Has it been determined that the haircut kid was gay? Or is that just more epic trollage from the insane guy?
kim roy on May 10, 2012 at 3:31 PM
This is almost as bad as Gov. Palin being seen at the Alaska state fair in 2007.Feeding her children corn dogs and cotton candy.Has Romney no shame?I bet he also threw rocks at birds and told tasteless jokes also.We the voting public cannot tolerate this behavior.We must all vote for Obama who we all know has never done anything wrong and i have heard can also lower the sea levels and walk on water.
logman1 on May 10, 2012 at 3:32 PM
blockquote>Like I predicted, this was a dumb move by Romney. By respsonding he made the story bigger. And no, the story does not reflect well on Romney. This was now a top story on the radio news at the top of the hour a few minutes ago.
Norwegian on May 10, 2012 at 3:11 PM
Dude, you truly are phreaking clueless. Spare us the concern. Like I predicted..whatever approach Romney would have taken…you would have issues with it.
It was a 5 page article in the WASHINGTON POST..it was already a story. It would have been a top story regardless. If he didn’t address it..we’d be hearing for weeks and weeks how Romeny is a homophobe and won’t apologize for…in angrylibs words…viciously attacking a kid who may or may not have been gay. There would have been wringing of hands and knashing of teeth and calls that Romney needs to atone for his sins. Not responding quickly is what keeps the media going.
Mittens just deflated the meme with his apology. Most sane people at this point are going to give a great big meh…about something that happened 45 years ago. Romney addressed it and now it makes the media and democrats look like fools dragging out something that happened 45 years ago…and trying to make a major issue out of it.
This won’t even be remembered by Monday.
And Romney continues to talk about the economy.
He can’t control the media and what they want to focus on..he can shut down their lame arse memes and re-direct them to the issues. And that’s what he’s been doing.
HumpBot Salvation on May 10, 2012 at 3:32 PM
This story is a buncha c-rap! Stuff that happened nearly 50 years ago is really relevant? The 1960s were another age, a completely different world then, and in some ways preferable to this one. I can hardly remember what happened in high school and for me that was a few years after Romney so I’m having a hard time believing the level of detail to which these pranks have been described–what, did someone give Bill Ayers the notes and let him
fictionalizeembellish them as only he can?stukinIL4now on May 10, 2012 at 3:33 PM
They are, but I never got into WoW. I played a really old MMORPG for a couple years (Ascheron’s Call), and I now have a few characters on The Old Republic, but I’m finding that I’m not all that into grinding at all anymore. It starts to feel too much like work.
Love shooting zombies and robbing banks though (Thanks, Madison for Payday).

How dare you? You disgusting, vile, pathetic little cretin. How dare you insult the millions and millions of men and women who have served this country honorably and those who continue to serve today? Fellow Americans who serve bravely and stand ready to die to protect your right to spew your venomous bile while you cower like a precious little flower behind behind them. You ignorant, selfish little ba$tard. You are protected and defended by men and women whose boots you are not worthy to wipe clean.

Myst brings back so many memories. I remember playing that and the King’s Quest series as a kid.
I’ve meant to play Portal but just haven’t yet. I hear it’s well worth it.

One way to measure libtard zeitgeist by the way is to read the leading stories (or most viewed, or ‘hottest’) at Buzzfeed or the Atlantic. Judging by that, it seems like even libtards don’t care.

This story is crap not only because it happened 50 years ago, it is crap because the source is an admitted Obama campaign worker (who just so happened to run into the alleged victim some unspecified time later) and the alleged victim is dead so he can’t confirm the hearsay statements attributed to him in the article by said source (as Jim Treacher put it, he died of a broken heart 43 years later from natural causes).
Further, a second source wasn’t even witness to the alleged incident as claimed by WaPo.

melle1228 on May 10, 2012 at 3:39 PM
I lumped GW in with the five others that lost the election. Ford, Dole, GHW Bush, McCain. But GW won the second term them immediately turned into a huge Moderate. This assured we lost big time the House and Senate really setting up Obama.
Now instead of learning from this we nominate another Moderate. How much damage do we do the the Party before we learn that trying to please the Press and get along with Democrats destroys any desire for voters to vote for us?

I like puzzle games too. Myst and RIven were awesome. Portal is amazing. Valve is an amazing studio. Half-life 2 is superlative. The team that did the sound design for HL2 did the sound for District 9. INCREDIBLE!
tom daschle concerned on May 10, 2012 at 3:40 PM
Portal is the biggest mindscrew of a game you will ever play. You can’t walk through your house without going, ‘if I put a portal here and a portal here, I could get up there so much faster’.
Word of warning: Don’t play it if you get motion sickness easily. Or if you like cake.

Romney pretty much had to respond in some way- the left would have turned into a an even bigger BFD if he hadn’t. It’s laughable that they’re trying to paint Romney as a gay bashing thug. Really, Romney?! Puh-leeeez.
Our biggest challenge this year is going to be slamming back the MSM. This dumb story WAS the lead bit on my radio this morning- it’s gone now, but ABC radio made sure they got their digs in.

Heh heh heh, Oh I remember those days with very fond memories. I ran a Wildcat BBS back in the late 80′s and early 90′s before internet access was readily available to everyone. I also leased an old carpet and tile outlet building/warehouse during the early 90′s it had 32 T-4 lines in it from the old carpet company. (The band I played for back then “Dorian Grey” ran a underground rave club/rock club out of it) and I ran the BBS off the phone switchboard line inputs. The BBS was called the same thing as the club, “The Dungeon” I had a half a dozen modems that were totally illegal… lol lol lol

But this is over the top even for you. I’ve had family members who have lost their lives to give you the right to rant like a lunatic for over a month now.

3) the Hot Air staff who seek revenue over cerdible, on topic discussions

gerrym51 on May 10, 2012 at 4:10 PM
Sorry for your loss. I had two brothers who went to Nam but they came back (both have since died). I enlisted out of high school (six days out) in 72′ but didn’t get sent to Nam. I guess it was winding down and they had their fill of journalists there (even the 71Q’s). Dad was Army Air Corps in the Pacific in WWII and I had uncles in that war as well. Granddad was a Canadian soldier in WWI. My neice’s husband is an Iraq vet and her dad was a Marine. More vets than you can shake a stick at and I’m sure we’d all agree that angryed is a first class dick. Don’t sweat the small stuff, though. Folks like that have always been around and have never mattered much. Still don’t.
swinia sutki on May 10, 2012 at 4:10 PM
Exactly. But so much of what I want to do requires that I play class missions alone, and it’s so easy to out level my friends, which was the whole point for me initially.
That’s why I’ve somewhat reluctantly become a shooter fan. It’s easy to play for a couple hours and just escape (literally with Payday).
I have it on good authority that it’s a lie.

The moderators of this site. i.e., Ed and Allah have done nothing to preclude him from this behavior. I have watched folks here banned for lessor behavior. I won’t risk being banned over him, he is worthless, I have some worth. Hopefully he will slip. One of us will catch it. He will be walked to the door. Ed and Allah both have been made aware of him.

May have, but you’d think that would be included in the article, no?
I wasn’t around in the 60s, but that even makes sense with my own childhood and adolescence in the 80s – 90s even when homosexuality was already becoming less of a taboo. Maybe my experience wasn’t typical of the time, but I don’t recall anyone being teased because of a sincere suspicious that they were gay. That’s not to say people had no opinion on homosexuality, just that they weren’t likely to assume anyone was gay based on appearance.

I just saw Romney on Cavuto and it didn’t sound like he even remembered this incident happening. He did however handle his response with a lot of tact and class. I want to see WaPo humiliated for this if it turns out to be made up- it is ironic that it seems to have led to a few of Barry’s high school hijinx as well.
BettyRuth on May 10, 2012 at 4:48 PM
I chose to ignore that remark and him in general after that. This is the sort of person who giggles behind his monitor every time he can get a reaction out of someone else and he will say whatever offensive thing he can to get his giggle.
It’s pointless to chide people like that, because you’re just giving them the drug they crave. The best way to deal with sick people like that is to ignore them.

I spend most of my video game time these days watching my husband and his friends play Call of Duty.
They did get me to play Team Fortress 2 with them (which is both free and fun so it’s a win-win). Valve knows how to make a shooter fun!
When I’ve got more time on my hands I like playing platformers. Though I have enjoyed Left for Dead both times (apparently I’m a sucker for anything Valve releases).
JadeNYU on May 10, 2012 at 4:54 PM
I agree.
Now, Mr. Romney has publicly asked for forgiveness and acted sincerely contrite. Should that not conclude the matter? er Distraction?
dogsoldier on May 10, 2012 at 4:54 PM
I have to think that is the likely reason. He is tedious. I have been on threads where no one will respond. He talks to himself for a few comments and then leaves. I’m all for starving him. Its a tough way to go for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is getting everyone to have discipline. Success rate for starving them is a fairly low percentage. I prefer the hammer. Plus the hammer makes a nice breeze. ; )

He went on my ignore list a while ago. Nothing is added by his comments.

Dunno – I like having The Hammer around for really egregious offenses, but trolls who don’t have the sense to stop when they’re getting the dog-droppings smacked out of them are a valuable source of amusement for me. This thread definitely made an otherwise frustrating day somewhat enjoyable…

Sounds like a big bunch of nothing to me. But that’s not what matters. The media can do a drip drip drip thing. All those who smugly sat by while Palinization was being perfected, take note.

This story is ugly. A super rich bully at an ultra-exclusive private school. Not a good image…

I know, its true many folks here enjoy it, I’m not one. I like the hammer. Trolless threads are more enjoyable for me. If he would say it to my face, I promise you, he wouldn’t manage it twice. ; )
