ABC News' George Will slammed presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for failing to fully release information on his tax returns and offshore accounts, saying Romney "must have calculated that there are higher costs in releasing them."
"If something's going to come out, get it out in a hurry," Will said this morning on the "This Week" roundtable. "I do not know why, given that Mitt Romney knew the day that [John] McCain lost in 2008 that he was going to run for president again that he didn't get all of this out and tidy up some of his offshore accounts and all the rest."
"He's done nothing illegal, nothing unseemly, nothing improper, but lots that's impolitic," Will added. "And he's now in the politics business."

Political strategist and ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said "there's obviously something there" in Romney's tax returns that he doesn't want public, adding that Romney's refusal to release his prior returns was a sign of "arrogance."
"There's obviously something there, because if there was nothing there, he would say, 'Have at it,'" Dowd said. "So there's obviously something there that compromises what he said in the past about something."

Probably on the same day Sheriff Joe has his news conference. I guess we'll know which story will get over shadowed.
George should pick up O in a Chevy Volt and the two of them can make out.
Using the same bent logic of some on the right who overlook the ovious.
Obama breaks ALL the rules and basically gets a pass. The left makes up dirt about Willard and people like George Will play along like clueless dingwads.
Standing and applauding. Perfectly said. And I hope you say it again, early and often.
These are all of the elitist, from both political parties and of all political ideologies, all wanting the same thing: Defeat Mitt Romney, so that our elitist way of life, from within the Washington Beltway, isn’t interfered with.
Here, let’s just hand them the election while we’re at it.
Dems hide all kinds of things, but the smartest people in the conservative room never even let out a pathetic squeal....
“There’s obviously something there, because if there was nothing there, he would say, ‘Have at it,’” Dowd said.
You mean, like Jug Ears’ sealed records? Why isn’t he saying “have at it”?
Same reason. They are both scum that shouldn’t be dog catcher. Stop defending Romney on legitimate attacks.
The only thing George Will cares about is hearing his own voice.

Thanks NormsRevenge. So, what are their FR nicks?
How about Obama’s US birth certificate, George Will?

How about Obama’s US birth certificate, George Will? The man is a phoney and the media looks the other way.

“Stop defending Romney on legitimate attacks.”
Bite me.
Newt and the others saw this coming in the primary, but they let the GOP elite bully them into dropping the subject. A huge mistake.
I’m so old I can remember when George Will was considered a conservative.

Is King Jerk-A-Boo still outsourcing his cocaine supply?

Granted that Will is a Rino, but so is Romney. Will is EXACTLY right. Romney knew he was running for the presidency. His files should have been cleaned up long ago. And if he's got them cleaned up and is just being coy, then he's being stupid coy.
Romney is a rino disaster, he's not got the support of conservatives, and if he doesn't quit stepping on it, they should find some graceful way to get him to step down.
And, tell me this, why in the world would Romney, who knew he was in this race, NOT have closed out those offshore and Swiss accounts years ago. Even an imbecile knows those would get attacked.
He can stand up there and shout "I'm proud of my success." all he wants, but why not be proud of it with cleaned up records and closed off-shore accounts? Why give them ammo? Why give them openings?
The man is a walking disaster, and just like Kennedy buried Romney with attacks based on the Bain years, Romney is still vulnerable in these areas.
I simply can't believe he's been planning this run this long and he didn't come up with solid, satisfying answers about Bain and offshore accounts. He looks like a freakin' deer in the headlights.
He is such a bad candidate. And now we see what it looks like when he is up against someone who can spend as much as him. But....we were warned...by Perry, Gingrich, Santorum, Cain.
Agreed, absolutely. He was (is) one of the RINOs to whom I was referring. ;)
