How Mitt pulled a fast one on the media with his 2011 tax return

My point? Even though the current news headlines of the day show Mitt as having released his 2011 tax return with a 14% tax rate and an abundance of altruism, what the news media have neglected to report is that Mitt received an extension, deferring his 2011 tax reporting until just now, when he could carefully paint a picture of the best-possible tax face.

That he manipulated his returns is all over the media like stink on a skunk.
Rachel had it front and center and I read all about it in The Seattle Times this morning.
Believe me, it is being picked up and they are going to run with it.
