Mitt Romney's defenders speak out

Before you leap to conclusions about Mitt Romney's character, you really should listen to what his wife and a former high school classmate have to say about him in his defense:

According to Ann Romney, Mitt is still the "crazy" guy from high school who loves "playing jokes" on people. And according to his high school friend Gregg Dearth, Romney probably was merely acting "jokingly" when he bullied John Lauber. Dearth, who didn't witness the attack, imagined it was probably a barrel of laughs, the kind of thing that might "traumatize" or "scare" somebody, but "no harm, no foul."

So there you have it, folks. Mitt Romney was a crazy jokester who liked to traumatize and scare people unfortunate enough to be his lesser, but there's nothing wrong with that. And he's still the same guy today that he was back then. No harm, no foul.

With defenders like that, who needs critics?
