Hypocrite! Romney required "several" years of Ryan's tax returns to consider him for the job

Since we can't let the tax story die I thought it quite interesting that Romney's vetting person admitted that they reviewed "several" years of Ryan's taxes. Why? I'd guess because Romney feels like a Vice Presidential candidate should have their taxes reviewed and vetted before he could be considered for the job.

Um.... I'm not surprised but I am nonetheless disgusted.

Have a read: "Romney Campaign Examined Tax Returns Of Potential Veeps"

"Mitt Romney's presidential campaign requested "several" years of tax returns from potential vice presidential picks, senior adviser Beth Myers, who ran the search, told reporters Saturday.
Myers said vetting documents were stored in safes in a secure room at campaign headquarters for review by attorneys.
Asked what was inside the safes, Myers replied "tax documents, everything we used.”
And how many years? "Several" she said, declining to provide a more specific number."

Somebody needs to check this out. But I don't have Net resources to do the research.
