In a CNBC interview with Larry Kudlow to air later tonight, Mitt Romney defends his decision to release only two years of tax returns both filed after he decided to run for President by claiming that 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry also released two years. From an advanced transcript:
KUDLOW: Why not release your tax returns? Why not go back 10 years?
Gov. ROMNEY: Well, weve had people run for president before, and theyve released two years. John Kerry released two years of taxes.. Ive released one already, put the estimate out for the next year. Well have two years of taxes..
In fact, John Kerry released not two years of returns, but 20. ... <SNIP>

Some people are not, after all: we have all encountered one or two such in our lives.

I don't think the concept of truth matters or has much meaning to him.

(14,075 posts)2. He didn't say that John Kerry released *ONLY* 2 years of tax returns - so what's the big deal?
The thing about romney is, even when he is caught in a bald-faced lie, he just tells another bald-faced lie. Sort of like the peasantry really doesn't have standing to question the born-rich.
