Chris Wallace: Romney's Tax Returns 'Politically Toxic'

[jmowreader]

64. Correct me if I'm wrong (and probably am...)

but if Romney were arrested in Idaho, he would be first sent to a county jail to await trial and sentencing. Before he was sentenced he would wear a color-coded uniform. A cop was in the shop one day when I was working on our weekly Most Wanted list pictures so I asked him what the color code means: in this county orange is general inmates, red is maximum security inmates and green is special handling inmates--protective custody, infirmary patients, mental patients, whatever. After conviction the general inmates wear blue uniforms inside the jail and white coveralls on work details. If the prisoner is transferred to state custody he still wears the blue uniform.

So...if he went up in Idaho we would not want him to be in an orange uniform as it would indicate there being a (small) possibility of his getting off. Blue, there's no doubt history would not look kindly on him. "Romney: the first man to run for the Big House."
