Palin Says Romney Should Release Tax Returns (HuffPost)

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin suggested Wednesday that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney should release his tax returns, as well as records from his time at Bain Capital.

"What I heard was a little bit what's going on today is some inoculation of the candidate himself, the frontrunner, and what it is that he's going to face when he comes up against Barack Obama. Nobody should be surprised that things about Bain Capital, and maybe tax returns not being released yet, and maybe some records not being as transparently provided to the public as voters deserve to see right now, don't be surprised that's all coming out today," she told Sean Hannity Wednesday on Fox News. "Let's get it out there, let's hear the defense of the candidates who are being charged with some of this. It's kind of like some come-to-Jesus moments for these candidates, and that's good, that's healthy."

In a December interview with NBC News, Romney said he has no plans to release his tax returns. "Never say never, but I don't intend to do so," he said.

Though not required by law, most recent presidential and vice-presidential nominees have chosen to made their tax returns public, including Palin.

Not to defend Romney, but who gives a crap what Palin thinks about anything.

she's counting on a brokered convention and has delusions that she can ride a swell of popular "none of the above" sentiments and become the nominee. So she's flexing her muscles right and hoping to deflate Mitt's balloon.

Her critiquing anyone else, even another RWer is ludicrous.
