The mystery surrounding Mitt Romney’s unreleased tax returns has been an all-you-can-eat buffet for Democrats the past couple of years.

Reid can’t be sure. “Here’s a rule of thumb,” Stewart said. “If you have to follow your claim with the words ‘I don’t know if that’s true,’ then shut up. Otherwise you might as well put a dead cocker spaniel on your head and start yelling about birth certificates.”
