them without seeing that mitt romney has done the same thing. if you go to maddowblog.com, we can't release the whole article, but we posted the date and headline and reporter and you can be enterprising and find a way to pay for it online to see for yourself that mitt romney did this exact same thing that harry reid is now doing to mitt romney that the whole press is says is so awful. i said there are two things about mr. romney's past that should redirect the current furor in the presidential campaign right now. one is that he's guilty of the exact same thing harry reid is doing. actually, even a worse variant of the same thing. that he is now whining about with all of the support in the press. but the other thing, it's more important, and actually, it's the whole largely missed but most important point of the whole mitt romney tax question which becomes crystal clear when you look at his record in massachusetts. that's mr. romney is not only refusing to release his tax returns, he's not just saying no to that request, he's making positive, empirical claims about what is in his tax returns.
