In this case, Margaret Speaks for me....
Margaret, I just called my friend Patricia to apologize for dipping her hair into that inkwell back in grade school. I feel bad that I did it and I feel even worse that she no longer remembers who I am or that she one time had hair long enough to put in pig tails. Were getting old, Margaret. And you know what else is getting old? The parade of schmucks who keep running for political office.
The population of the United States is now over 300 million people. That means that every four years, one person out of 300 million gets the honor of being President of the greatest country on the planet. With those odds, you would think the Republican Party could have found someone who wasnt a dry drunk like George W. Bush
or the bully in high school like Mitt Romney. I know. I know. We all did dumb things when we were young. Youth. I miss it like I miss my waistline. Shit happens
or in this case Mitt happened. Back in high school, I did some dumb things, Romney said. And if anyone was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that. Me too. I really do feel bad about dipping Patricias hair into that ink well.
Mitt went on to say, Theres going to be some that want to talk about high school. Well, if you really think thats important, be my guest.
Thank you Mr. Romney, I think I will. I think I will talk about this because unfortunately we dont seem to have solved the problem yet. Bullying is alive and well today and it is just as inexcusable today as it was 48 years ago. You can send your wife out to the media to laugh about your wild and crazy high school years but I wonder how the two of you would have reacted if one of your sons had done this same thing. Wild and crazy? Yes, actually. It was. And its even more wild and crazy today that anyone would want to honor you with the highest office in the land. Mitt was the son of a Governor
born into a privileged life. You cant tell me he didnt know any better."...
