Not remembering is no excuse

While admittedly not a big fan of Mitt Romney, I felt he was OK until he said he did not remember chasing that boy down in high school and cutting his hair. I am old enough to be Mitt Romney’s mother but I remember every stupid and certainly every mean thing I did in high school.

A person of conscience would have admitted it and apologized for it, maybe even have said he regretted doing it, but it speaks volumes about the man if he doesn’t even remember it.
