Were Harry Reid’s parents married?

To this by Krauthammer, slamming Harry Reid et al. for coming out of nowhere with accusation of Romney that he’s paid no taxes in last 10 years, add this by Steve Huntley in Sun-Times:

Another bad jobs report, so it’s time to demagogue Mitt Romney’s tax returns, or so President Barack Obama’s campaign and his supporters believe.

It’s a masterpiece of controlled (righteous) anger, or so it seems to me, at least indignation, rivalling what Krauthammer showed on Fox last night.  Both call Reid’s claim and his support from Nancy Pelosi and others willing to use Reid’s stuff for campaign gain for what they are.  Both get it.

Huntley:

Their hope is that Americans care more about how much taxes Romney paid than they do about their own economic well-being after nearly four years of his failed economic policies. Such is the contempt the Obama camp holds for the voters.

Obama loves it, of course.  It’s reminiscent of the Oxford debater’s ploy of many decades ago, asking an opponent if his parents were married, hearing yes, asking further if the opponent had their marriage certificate with him.  No?  Then until you produce it, the debater said, do you mind if I call you a bastard?

Does Harry Reid mind?

  1. Heh!

    Romney only needs his accountant to state that taxes were filed and paid for the previous ten years. As Rush said, providing them will allow the Democrats to find some deduction he took and demagogue about it. The ignorant will take up the cudgel as another distraction from Obama’s agenda of destroying the economy and the Constitution.
