Mitt Romney - Imposter

A young Mitt Romney who previously had been known for bullying a gay classmate, and seriously abusing his dog - Seamus,  now we find out that little Mitt was full of laughs.  It turns out Mitt also liked to impersonate a police officer.  

When Mitt Romney was a college freshman, he told fellow residents of his Stanford University dormitory that he sometimes disguised himself as a police officer -- a crime in many states, including Michigan and California, where he then lived. And he had the uniform on display as proof.

So recalls Robin Madden, who had also just arrived as a freshman, the startling incident began when Romney called him and two or three other residents into his room, saying, "Come up, I want to show you something." When they entered Romney's room, "and laid out on his bed was a Michigan State Trooper's uniform."

Madden, a native Texan who graduated from Stanford in 1970 and went on to become a successful television producer and writer, has never forgotten that strange moment, which he has recounted to friends over the years as he observed his former classmate's political ascent. The National Memo learned of the incident from a longtime Madden friend to whom he had mentioned it years ago.

Said Madden in a recent interview, "He told us that he had gotten the uniform from his father," George Romney, then the governor of Michigan, whose security detail was staffed by uniformed troopers. "He told us that he was using it to pull over drivers on the road. He also had a red flashing light that he would attach to the top of his white Rambler."

In Madden's recollection, confirmed by his wife Susan, who also attended Stanford during those years, "we thought it was all pretty weird. We all thought, 'Wow, that's pretty creepy.' And after that, we didn't have much interaction with him," although both Madden and Romney were prep school boys living in the same dorm, called Rinconada.

Other eyewitnesses have previously recalled Romney's alleged use of a police or trooper uniform in pranks during his high school years at the exclusive Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.
Phillip Maxwell, a prep school buddy, told the New Republic in 2008 that Romney had pulled over students from a girls school next door to Cranbrook while wearing a police uniform as a prank. Other former classmates described Mitt as a "happy-go-lucky guy known less for his achievements and more for his pranks."

Yes laugh a minute Mitt,  got his kicks out of impersonating a police officer and "creeping" out his friends.    What a guy!   Although I do not know why anyone would be surprised by this story, he has been impersonating a serious presidential candidate for over 6 years now!!

  1. There's something about these old, rich, white men and their ability to keep themselves and their upper class in power that seems to be the biggest hurdle to anything.


    How do they do it?

    Marketing.

    Keep the message so simple, even a caveman would vote for them!

    Take Sarah Palin, darn-tootin' straight-shootin' family values, hee-haw!

    Every one of these pricks, and take the pick, George Bush, to Ron Johnson, to Walker..., especially in debates....
