Matt Romney's birther "joke" underscores his father's refusal to release his tax returns
As
predicted, Matt Romney
says his bout of birtherism was all done in the name of comedy:
I repeated a dumb joke. My bad. RT @emilyrs Romney's son Matt made an Obama birth certificate joke on the trail in NH
I don't know about you, but I try to make a habit of not repeating dumb jokes. But aside from the spectacle of another Romney pandering to the whacko right, the central point remains that Mitt Romney has refused to release his tax returns—and mini-Romney's tasteless and false "joke" excusing his father's secrecy because President Obama hasn't released his birth certificate (even though he has) merely underscores that point.
