Rick Perry inadvertently calls on Romney to release tax returns...oops, he wants a do-over
Remember Rick Perry? He's the guy who tangled bitterly with Mitt Romney in the Republican primary, attacking him for practicing "vulture capitalism" at Bain Capital and being attacked, in turn, for what Romney characterized as "liberal" immigration policies in Texas.
Perry, the Texas governor, resurfaced Tuesday as a voice in the presidential campaign when he appeared to join the chorus of (mostly Democratic) voices urging Romney to release more of his tax returns.
"No matter who you are or what office you are running for, you should be as transparent as you can be with your tax returns and other aspects of your life so that people have the appropriate ability to judge your background," Perry said to CBS News Austin affiliate KEYE-TV.
An aide later said Perry wasn't specifically calling on Romney to release more returns. Perry, in fact, quickly turned the subject around to President Obama, joining the chorus of (mostly Republican) voices calling on him to release his college transcripts.
