1) Reid's got something. This is my bet. Maybe it's something bigger than what he's talking about.

2) Reid wants to put the pressure on to force the tax records out, just on the general principle that there's bound to be something in there out of which political hay can be made.For example, people will be very interested if Romney turns out to have been tangled in the UBS scandal & took advantage of an amnesty to avoid felony charges.

So that was better than his 'adjunct professor job?' freshwest Aug 2012 #2

So, what's your point? Jackpine Radical Aug 2012 #7

I would consider that rate of pay to be at the level of unemployment, as well. freshwest Aug 2012 #20
