like they don't have accountants...

On yesterday's Hardball, Chris Matthews, smelling a rat, was livid when he learned that the Clintons had failed to file or release their 2007 tax return. But on today's Good Morning America, Kate Snow managed to make a silk purse out of the sow's ear of the Clinton's delay. Far from depicting it as a means to evade the promulgation of inconvenient facts, Snow painted the procrastination as proof of the Clintons' humanity. Compare and contrast . . .
HARDBALL APRIL 4TH
DAVID SHUSTER: As far as the details we do not have the details from last year. We don't have those specific consulting fees for last year.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: I was predicting [that] . . . now Joan [Walsh of Salon.com], it seems to me everybody wanted to know where the Clintons got their income. Is there any sticky income? We're not getting that information. The one thing we were promised to get.

Gentle Snow Covers Clintons on Failure to File 2007 Return ping to Today show list.
I’m glad it’s finally cleared up - the Clintons ARE human. I was having difficulty telling them apart from two-legged pit-fiends from hell. But now with the lies and the failure to do their 2007 taxes, it’s all cleared up.
the 2007 isn’t even due yet. I am not surprised and suspect they will get extensions right up to october.
I can believe alot of things about Hillary, like she doesn’t cast a shadow or have a reflection in a mirror, cats hiss and avoid her presence, rooms she enters get colder, holy water will burn her skin, and nothing will grow within a half mile of her home...which is made of ginger bread. But human? Never!
“nothing will grow within a half mile of her home.”
The Chernobyl Candidate!
like they don't have accountants...
Hell, I haven’t filed my 2007 return.
The IRS is going to love that...
The KKKlintons are trying to give the impression that they sit over their tax forms at home with a calculator like Joe Normal. They made $100 million and havent heard of a tax attorney? They can afford a crew of 20 tax accountants working day and night on their taxes if they wanted. Hey Hellary, does H&R Block ring a bell?
Yeah, like the clintoons have to do anything except sign the forms.
Exactly. What a non-story. My taxes are not overly complicated, but if you have any kind of K-1 income, it can be a while before you have the return information sufficient to file with any confidence. Most people I know pay their taxes on April 15, but file in October.
More interesting will be to ask HRC on April 15 how much she and Bill paid and/or had withheld as taxes on 2007 income (which would include estimates paid in April, June, September and December of 2007). I am guessing that that figure will have campaign implications, to the extent she has any chance remaining (which I doubt).
I’m glad it wasn’t you that said that. :-) Hope all is going well for you.
Do you think Hillary would have found a way to get her return filed if she felt it was to her political advantage to do so?
LOL! As good a discription as ever I've read!
Kate Snow is the ABC reporterette tasked with covering the Clinton campaign. She's been onboard the Clinton bandwagon for a number of months. Snow, a dyed in the wool liberal ... she even looks the part, sharp features thin lips, Snow is firmly and without question in the tank for the 'beast. There is not one shred of objectivity in this pathetic excuse for a broadcast journalist.
... or that they had something chicom to hide.

Mark....When we see the word “Snow” in a headline on FR, 99.9% of us think it either refers to our good friend “Tony” or to the weather..So, kind sir...in the future...
I was disappointed when I read the headline that Tony Snow would say that...:)
The Clinton's, more than any American couple in our history, have continuously...without hesitation or remorse, shown their disdain for fellow Americans.
