It is as if the media is in collusion -- much as there was an unwritten rule to never take a picture of FDR in a wheelchair.

Ask the damn question. It is simple.

And if Romney reacts with that wicked fake laugh of his, you will immediately know that is exactly what Romney is hiding in his 2009 returns.

Incidentally, we was asked today about how much tax he paid in past years and he claimed there were no years when he paid less than 15%. That definitely raises the ante for Reid. It is hard for me to believe Reid and Obama would have gone out on that limb without know how this story would end, so I expect there is more to come.

Perhaps there is some well-coordinated effort to NOT ask the amnesty question until after the GOP convention. The GOP convention starts Aug 27. They won't do anything right after the GOP convention because that would distract from the Dem convention. So if something is going to come out, it will be either in the next 7 days or else right after the Dem convention finishes on Sep 6.
