Today, let’s do a favor for Mitt Romney.

...................


about the hair-cutting story. When Mitt was asked about it, he said he did not “recall the incident.”

This puts a whole new spin on things. The idea that Romney could have absolutely no recollection of this event is way more shocking than the incident itself. Did he engage in this sort of behavior so often that things just sort of ran together?

I don’t believe he’s that lacking in feeling. So I propose that we give him the benefit of the doubt and agree that he is lying through his teeth.

Yes! And, honestly, it’s a good bet. We have seen far less evidence of Romney as a guy with a mean streak than of Romney as a robotic campaigner who finds it impossible to speak in an open, unprogrammed manner — particularly about any incident that makes him look bad.

1. Since the memory seems to haunt the others involved, yea, he's a liar, or....

a total sociopath. Let's face it, he's never stopped being a bully. First a school mate, then the family dog, then corporations and their employee, and now he strives to bullly the entire nation and world.

2. I think Anne is as guilty of it

as he is. Glad I didn't have to work for either one of them in their many homes with kids that are probably as entitled acting as their parents.
