Mitt Romney is not like us people

FSM on a broomstick, we know Slippery Mitt's tax returns are different.

A top campaign official who worked for Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) 2008 presidential bid and helped select his running mate said Sunday that Mitt Romney's tax returns "do not look anything like the average American," but held nothing which prevented him from being on the ticket.

That official would be Steve Schmidt who is now saying he viewed the tax returns. If memory serves, only a few days ago, Schmidt claimed he didn't see them at all. Why doesn't somebody ask him about that? And if there's nothing in bad them, then Slippery Mitt should fracking release the last ten years so the voters can see for themselves just how different he is from "us people."

Bit weary of the excuse, so easily accepted by our prime time prima donnas of the media, that Mitt just doesn't want to give the Obama campaign thousands of pages of oppo to "distort and use in attacks." It's only oppo if he's got something to hide. We're talking about appropriate disclosure here and asking questions about the facts revealed in the returns is not an attack no matter how many damn Pinocchios Kessler thinks those questions deserve.
