The other day I saw the Multnomah County Democrats tweet out that wild story about Mitt Romney not paying his taxes for ten years.

I said at the time, after laughing out loud:

The “story” which includes this phrase, “Now, obviously, this is a statement by one person so it’s veracity has to be established,” was the latest, laughably dishonest attempt to smear Romney about his taxes. He’s released his records as Governor and now Presidential candidate.
It links to another blogger over at HuffPo which includes the apparent meat of the story: speculation from Harry Reid.

Of course it smacks of desperation and makes Harry Reid look even more ridiculous than usual.

Jim Geraghty at National Review begs for SOMEone to fact check Reid (here). And even Jon Stewart thinks Reid–and those who push this ridiculous story–look like idiots. In fact Stewart says, “You Harry Reid, are terrible.”
