After Mittens (and his lame surrogates) got hammered on the Sunday shows over his offshore accounts, he commented briefly about it on a radio show Monday, saying this:

I don’t manage them. I don’t even know where they are. That trustee follows all U.S. laws. All the taxes are paid, as appropriate. All of them have been reported to the government. There’s nothing hidden there. If, for instance, you own shares in Renault or Fiat, you still have to disclose that in the United States,” Romney said. “So, you know, I understand the president’s going to try to do anything he can to divert attention from the fact that his jobs record is weak and he has no plan to make things better.

In other words, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

The appropriate response to that? Bull. There is no way on earth he should get away with this dodge on a very real, very important question. And make no mistake, it's definitely a critical one, but perhaps not for the reasons everyone thinks.
