The National Memo » Did Young Mitt Romney Impersonate A Police Officer? Another Witness Says Yes
Yes, I know; /yawn - who cares. Y'all know the drill.

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 Romneys room, and laid out on his bed was a Michigan State Troopers 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 classmates 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 Maddens recollection, confirmed by his wife Susan, who also attended Stanford during those years, we thought it was all pretty weird. We all thought, Wow, thats pretty creepy. And after that, we didnt 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 Romneys alleged use of a police or trooper uniform in pranks during his high school years at the exclusive Cranbrook School in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
