Add Rick Santorum to the list of Republicans calling for Mitt Romney to release his tax returns.

"I don't know why he hasn't released his tax returns. I think he should," Santorum said in an interview Monday on the Laura Ingraham radio show. The former Pennsylvania senator added that it was important especially for "someone with the enormity of wealth," like Romney.

"Well, let's see how he manages his own economy," Santorum said.

Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich have also called on Romney to release his tax returns. And President Obama's campaign has criticized the former Massachusetts governor for not doing so. The "Barack Obama" twitter account, on Dec. 30, asked: "Why won’t Mitt Romney release his tax returns?"

1. Li'l Ricky Sanctimonium shouldn't be throwing stones from inside that glass house where he resides

There's plenty for him to worry about when the 'daylight disinfectant' reveals how much he's gotten in the form of bribes from K Street lobbyists over the years.

2. If Romney was wise, he would release his tax returns now so he can pull the bandaid off during the

primary rather than the general election.

If he pulls off that band aid now, it will mainly be old news when the general election rolls around.

3. I was hearing something the other day about how this can be postponed (or maybe they were citing

an instance where this happened) so the info was released AFTER the vote.

4. Yeah, right after Mr. Frothy pays back Penn Hills for his "cybershit" scandal.
