On Wednesday, Reid stuck to his story, and broadened it.

"I am not basing this on some figment of my imagination," Reid said in a telephone call with Nevada reporters. "I have had a number of people tell me that."

Asked to elaborate on his sources, Reid declined. "No, that's the best you're going to get from me."

"I don't think the burden should be on me," Reid said. "The burden should be on him. He's the one I've alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didn't he release his tax returns?"

I would say Romney has made somone angry who has connections in common with Romney and Reid. gordianot Aug 2012 #2

Hmm... perhaps John McCain? McCain's team has seen 23 years of Mitt's tax returns :) n/t Tx4obama Aug 2012 #3

Either McCain who has little love for Mitt or............ gordianot Aug 2012 #4

I was meh on the Harry Reid bit, but it was a nice set up for the Faux slamfest that followed. tanyev Aug 2012 #5

I wonder, does anyone agree with Jon about Harry? Enrique Aug 2012 #6

I think Stewart was merely using Reid as a set-up to slam FAUX on their hypocrisy qb Aug 2012 #7
