Mark Thompson keeps talking about Larry Flynt and saying that he is going to drop a bomb on Romney

[Windy]

I don't see anything on the net about that and no one else is talking about it. Anyone know or hear anything? Curiosity is killing me!

1. I've seen this for a couple of weeks now

brought up here at DU but Flynt hasn't produced anything.

2. Romney has dropped so many bombs on himself

that I'm not sure more are especially needed. Although it wouldn't break my heart to see a few more.

3. The 2009 taxes. nt

12. On the LO show the other night a tax expert

said we wouldn't see the form about amnesty for Romney's Swiss account in his 2009 tax returns because it's not part of the filing.

But to "bring him back into the fold" (tax jargon for making him pay up and getting him within the legal realm again) Romney would have had to file amended returns for at least 10 years. Those returns would have to accurately detail his holdings in all his accounts including the Swiss bank account and then Romney would have to pay the additional taxes and penalties.

Romney does not want us to see the 2 sets of returns for all those years since that would be pretty conclusive evidence that he took the tax amnesty. And that is why what his attorney so very carefully stated about Romney's taxes is true, and what Harry Reid stated is also true. Amazing, isn't it?

6. Early voting underway almost everywhere by next week. Getting late for "October Surprise"

If there were any cards to play on the tax returns, they should have been played this week.

9. The first debates are next week

The focus will be on the debates - however, its possible he will release something around the debates as people start to pay a little more attention (even if they probably already have their minds made up already).

10. Usually October Surprises take place in October.

Getting late for an "October Surprise" would be October 31st.

7. have you forgotten that it was Larry Flynt who stopped the coup against Bill Clinton?

It was Flynt and the investigator working for him who stopped that coup, at nearly the last minute.

8. Can you be more specific?

[blogslut]

11. His name was Bob Livingston

Ring a bell?

[BlueStreak]

13. Yes, but that didn't have much to do with Clinton and did not stop the impeachment process.

[Bucky]

14. I think Flynt has the savvy to wait until October 10th or so.

But my gut tells me it's just an urban rumor
