WaPo ‘Bullygate’ Profile Foreshadowed Mitt Romney ‘Police Impersonator’

Some excerpts :

According to the new report, from NationalMemo.com, a Stanford University classmate of Romney’s named Robin Madden (and his future wife, also a classmate of Romney’s) recalls the future Massachusetts Governor confessed to a habit of dressing up in a Michigan State Police uniform (which he laid out on his bed to show them) and pulling people over using a red flashing light that he attached to his car. But Conason’s report also acknowledges that Romney’s affinity for police prankery has been reported on before:

    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.”

    In The Real Romney, a biography published by Boston Globe reporters Michael Kranish and Scott Helman this year,another former friend recalled how Romney had “put a siren on top of his car and chased two of his friends who were driving around with their dates.” The two friends were in on the scheme, but the girls were not. There was beer in the car trunk, according to a prearranged plan. Mitt told his two counterparts to get out of their vehicle and into his car. Then they drove off, leaving the girls behind.

    “It was a terrible thing to do,” said one of his accomplices, a Cranbrook classmate named Graham McDonald.

While there are probably lots of people who haven’t read The Real Romney, or missed that New Republic story, seemingly the entire political world pored over that Washington Post profile a few weeks ago (including me), yet somehow, they all missed this:

    But in a well-known prank in which Romney flashed a police siren and, bearing a fake badge and cap, approached two friends and their dates parked on a dark country road, there was a stronger undercurrent of fear to the incident than commonly conveyed. Candy Porter, a Kingswood boarder from a small town in Ohio, had a strict 11 p.m. curfew. As Romney and his Cranbrook pals played out the joke, pretending to be shocked over empty bourbon bottles in the trunk, Porter thought of the dorm mothers waiting at the door and the threat of expulsion. “I just remember being like a deer in headlights,” she said. “I just remember being terrified.” Once she realized it was all a prank, and was safely back at her dorm, Porter joined in the laughter.
