Trump: Romney shouldn't disclose tax returns until Obama proves his identity

Donald Trump weighs in on the debate over whether Mitt Romney should disclose his tax returns and financial records to the public:
President Obama wants @MittRomney to hand over even more past tax returns- he should when @BarackObama reveals his college applications.
— @realDonaldTrump via web
And:
.@MittRomney should not give any other further information until @BarackObama releases the things that everyone wants to see----
— @realDonaldTrump via web
So I guess that's the birther's case for why Mitt Romney is right to keep his tax returns and financial records under lock and key. But former Republican Party chairman and Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says that if he were in Romney's shoes, he wouldn't hide his returns:

I think I know where Trump spends most of his day, on the Yahoo news boards.

He's kind of like Sarah Palin in the sense that his fifteen minutes of fame have long since expired and he's desperate to be noticed again. So he says stupid shit to stir up the teabaggers, who are the only people who are stupid enough to still acknowledge his (and Caribou Barbie's) existence. Donald and Sarah: Please go away. Nobody who isn't dangling teabags from their three-cornered hats while holding misspelled signs and drooling gives a flaming crap what you think.

Mitt still needs to show an actual long form birth certificate without void running down the sides. Conservatives don't get how stupid they sound asking for documents that their own candidate hasn't released yet. Let them get Mitt to release his college transcripts and then they can ask Obama to do the same.

Is it of this world? Are the hair strands that we see actually tentacles of a creature living under his scalp? Otherwise, how does he explain the fact that it can withstand hurricane force winds without flying off?
