A million pages will illustrate the adage that 'the real crime is what's legal' with such force the electorate will double over with nausea at just what the Romney's of the world get away with without fear of man or God....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

I love that he waited until now to drop the other shoe. This keeps the issue in the media for another 3-4 news cycles.

Then Pelosi chimes in. Then some well-meaning Republicans who secretly hate Mitts guts.

And before you know it, it's time for the Republican National Convention, and Mitt is standing there with this issue slung around his neck like an albatross.

Just in time for Ron Paul to make a floor fight.
