"I don't doubt that Romney's actions were meticulously legal. That's an old army term I posted. It means that strictly speaking, his ass was covered."

...participated in amnesty, his ass wasn't covered. In fact, is his ass was covered, he'd release them. My guess is his returns answer a lot of the accusations and questions, and that's not good for Romney.

Schmidt saying that they're not like "the average American" implies that no one will understand them. You know, they're too complex for "you people."

Since Obama released his returns back to 2000, does that mean his returns are more "American" than Romney's?

They can't seem to get this response thing down.
