Mitt Romney said Wednesday he finds the whole controversy over tax returns -- a huge source of grief for his campaign -- somewhat entertaining.

"It's kind of amusing," Romney told Columbus, Ohio, CBS affiliate WBNS. "I'm releasing two years of records as well as all that's legally required and, for that matter, I'm doing the same thing John McCain did when he ran for president four years ago, which is releasing two years of returns, and we'll see what time has to say about this."

Romney has maintained that he won't release more tax returns than what he has already -- his full return from 2010 and an estimated return from 2011 -- despite calls from even Republicans that he disclose more to the public to end the debate.

7. I am entertained too.

McCain was in the congress filing his required disclosures for how many decades while you were playing LBO corporate raider, Willard?

I applaud this. Keep on keeping on. I'm sure it will all blow over soon.

9. AND his 2010 is INCOMPLETE, and he is guessing on 2011.

After watching that film on Youtube, When Mitt Romney Came to Town (created by a right winger during the primaries,) my blood boils whenever I see Romney smirking and acting like he's fucking above it all!!!

10. What does "all that's legally required" have to do with anything?

You can't be prosecuted. Whoopee! You're not trying to avoid prosecution (yet), you're trying to convince people to vote for you. And what do you do? You sound like a crook trying to get off on a technicality!


Not that I'm complaining,mind you. In fact, I'll probably emphasize your shifty, lawyerly weasel-wording every chance I get. Because your shifty, lawyerly weasel-wording seems really, really suspicious.
