The phony smile and dismissive "I was such a jokester" line isn't going to take the legs off this story.

What's interesting is that one of Romney's fellow bullies in the incident has written how this incident caused him deep regret and troubled him to where he approached and apologized to the victim years later, and the victim reportedly admitted that he had been troubled by it over the years. Yet Mitt has a free conscious...so much so that he can't even remember it. I guess it was just one of many incidents for the prankster.
