In reply to the discussion: Beware of this Rovian maneuver... it is coming. [View all]aint_no_life_nowhere
(21,925 posts)5. How will they prove it's a fake tax return if they don't release a real one?

We're not dealing with fonts or typewriters as we did in the Bush AWOL story. The only way I see it working is if they release a copy of Romney's actual returns bearing the date stamp of receipt by the IRS and his signature. If Romney's real returns look completely legit and non-controversial, I'll be very surprised. I would think any scheme of this kind would only put more pressure on Romney to produce the real returns.

If Rove had his shit together, the GOP would not have this ongoing clusterfuck with Romney.

Not necessarily Rove himself... but someone who has the same lack of character.
