Anyone remember a huge story about Romney and his bullying days?
The Romney PR machine has got it neatly boiled down on Wikipedia to read:
"Romney was involved in many pranks."
That is it. Six words. Buried so deep few will find it, and it isn't on the page regarding Romney's campaign.
Yes there is a break out to a paragraph at the very bottom of the page. Here is what it reads:
Such pranks included sliding down golf courses on large ice cubes, dressing as a police officer and tapping on the car windows of teenage friends who were making out, and staging an elaborate formal dinner on the median of a busy street. The golf course escapade apparently got Romney and Ann Davies arrested, or otherwise detained, by the local police. Romney was also arrested in 1981 while at a family outing at Lake Cochituate in Massachusetts. According to Romney, a ranger from Cochituate State Park told him his motorboat had an insufficiently visible license number and he would face a $50 fine if he took the boat onto the lake. Disagreeing about the license and wanting to continue the outing, Romney took it out anyway, saying he would pay the fine. The angry officer then arrested him for disorderly conduct. The charges were dropped several days later after Romney threatened to sue the officer and the state for false arrest.
Anyone see any mention above about Lauber being attacked held down and his hair cut? All that is gone.
Well people, is that it? Is that all that comes of this is six words?
Bully wins!
Meanwhile theObama birth certificate story still commands a huge full page on Wikipedia.

I don't know why I bother.
If anyone wants to keep it a little more alive I created a Facebook page. At least it is still up for now till the PR machine takes it down. See http://www.facebook.com/...
