Romney Tax Returns to Be Released By October 15th Advisor Says, To Which We Respond, “Duh”

Posted on by Caleb Newquist

Ed Gillespie, "a senior Romney advisor," provides precisely zero insight as to the timing of when his boss's tax returns will see the light of day: 

"Look, October 15 is the deadline for the IRS on an extension. We have said as soon as they're ready we're going to release them. And I believe they'll be ready before that," Gillespie told the "Fox News Sunday" program. "They're being finalized. There's a lot of forms that have to come in from other entities that the governor doesn't have control over," Gillespie added.

So Mitt Romney will meet the filing deadline imposed by the IRS and that his tax returns are complicated. Got it.

This is usually followed up with a major win which is then followed up by a total blow-up at the next tournament that may or may not involve Big John ending up passed out pantless on the 18th green in the middle of the night.


The guy has managed to make $9 million throughout his career yet still owes the IRS over a $1 million in back taxes for ’07 and ’08, according to a lien filed with filed by the Service with Shelby County.

His house in Memphis is apparently for sale, for just a smidge under $700k. So if you’re in the market, help the guy out.

Judging by the pics, you’ll have to schlep in your own kegerator and you’ll likely have to replace the carpet due to the ubiquitous cigarette burns but it still looks like a pretty nice pad.
