Default Romney apologizes for bullying in high school, and bullying gays

This is what happens to you - stuff from high school is pulled up - when you are running for President on a platform of passing a constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage.

Bullying = "hijinks and pranks"? Tell that to current teen suicides.

Good lord. This man has zero soul.

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney made a surprise appearance on Fox host Brian Kilmeade's radio show Thursday morning to respond to a lengthy Washington Post story on his time as a prep-school prankster and occasional bully of closeted gay students.

"They talk about the fact that I played a lot of pranks in high school," Romney said. "And they describe some that you just say to yourself, back in high school I just did some dumb things and if anybody was hurt by that or offended by it, obviously I apologize."

“I participated in a lot of hijinks and pranks during high school and some might have gone too far and for that, I apologize," he added.
