Appreciation of political cartoons takes a certain sophistication of knowledge of the subject, the broadness of mind to appreciate satire, combined with an ability to laugh at oneself and others.

U doan hav it.

That brings us to Harry Reid’s yarn about a “Bain investor” who told him that Romney “didn’t pay any taxes for 10 years.” The entire professional fact-check squad has called Reid a liar while admitting that he may not actually be a liar. “Without seeing Romney’s taxes, we cannot definitively prove Reid incorrect,” wrote the Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler. “But tax experts say his claim is highly improbable.

and further down:

We have not evolved highly enough to gaze into Harry Reid’s mind, but we can make an assumption: He wanted the media to ask more questions about tax laws that favor the rich. That’s a policy dispute, folks. It’s at the center of Barack Obama’s campaign. It’s a major Republican critique of the first three years of the president’s term: Why didn’t he take tax reform seriously when Bowles-Simpson asked him to?

that's a valid question imo. all these things, tied to the economy that obama said was his 'first priority'...and yet, it wasn't.

Obama made these remarks today. Maybe I'm going senile but it is the same pablum that he spewed and suckered me in on 4 years ago.. He has done nothing of the sort.

"He made the remarks while pushing for the renewal of a tax credit for wind energy manufacturing – something Romney opposes – and for the creation of credits for companies who bring jobs home from overseas, as well as the elimination of loopholes for offshoring.
“Gov. Romney brags about his private sector experience, but it was mostly invested in companies, some of which were called 'pioneers of outsourcing,'” Obama said. “I don’t want to be a pioneer of outsourcing. I want to insource.”

Harry Reid's source may be revealed right before GOP convention, taking all the wind out of GOP sails and owning media with bad stories about Romney.

Journalists have ferreted out that Bain-Mormon source verifying Mitt has paid no taxes for 10 years could be Jon Huntsman's father.

Yeah, we should all get our news from such fair and unbiased sources such as dailykos and Jon Stewart.

And chooses Jeff Immelt to help him with the jobs scenario...

Jon Huntsman, Sr. denies he's source of Bain leaks about Romney's taxes, per Greg Sargent, Washington Post

Quote:
Jon Huntsman Sr. urged Mitt Romney on Friday to release more tax returns and said he feels "very badly" that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee "won’t be fair with the American people."

Huntsman, a supporter of Romney's campaign, made the remarks to Greg Sargent at the Washington Post. He said, "I've supported Mitt all along. I wish him well. But I do think he should release his income taxes."

The comments form Huntsman come in the wake of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) saying a Bain investor, who he did not identify by name, told him that Romney "didn't pay any taxes for 10 years." After it was suggested that Huntsman could be Reid's source, Huntsman threw cold water on the speculation in speaking with the Post.

Huntsman stressed, "I have absolutely no knowledge of Bain or Mitt Romney’s tax returns."

The second source is the voice in Harry Reid's head.

I understand Pee Wee Herman has also denied he was the 2nd source.
