Johnny! Time to rub the bunions

J. Francois Kerry is taking a phony-tough stand against those who would besmirch his beloved Teresa. This seems to be a pre-emptive attack against those who would demand to see Teresa’s tax returns; that is, asking for her tax returns is the same as attacking her personally. (Just like noting that Kerry repeatedly voted against defense programs is “attacking his patriotism.”)

Except for compliance of the liberal press, I don’t see how candidate Kerry can possibly get away with holding back on his spouse’s tax returns. This is particularly true of Kerry, who is entirely dependent on his wife for his political and personal welfare.

Extra: the Cracker Barrel Philosopher has more on the taxing couple.
