Truman Demands Romney Release His Tax Returns
The last of God’s creatures on earth has demanded that Mitt Romney quit dilly-dallying around and “either release his tax returns or give me a treat.”
Hairy S Truman (see below) said yesterday that if Mitt doesn’t release his tax returns, he’s apt to be nipped on the ankle by dogs and every darn political commentator in the country, from George Will to Erin Burnett.
Burnett said Romney was cruisin’ for a bruisin’.
“If he refuses to release them, it is because one, he had a lot more money in tax shelters in prior years than he does now,” she continued. “Two, he did something shady. Or, three, he’s stupid.”
And Matthew Dowd nipped, too.
Political strategist and ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said “there’s obviously something there” in Romney’s tax returns that he doesn’t want to release publicly, adding that Romney’s refusal to produce his prior returns was a sign of “arrogance.”
And there’s even growling Bill Kristol …
Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol called Romney’s refusal to release more than two years of tax returns “crazy.”
“He should release the tax returns tomorrow,” Mr. Kristol said. “You’ve got to release six, eight, 10 years of back tax returns.”
Stupid? Arrogant? Crazy? Whoa, wait, isn’t that already the motto of the Republican Party?
