Elizabeth Warren demanded Monday that Senator Scott Brown release more years of his tax returns. The only problem was that Brown, her Republican rival, had already released six years of tax returns while Warren has refused to release more than four years of her filings.
Asked to reconcile that apparent conflict, Warren backed off her demand hours later, saying Tuesday that six years was enough. She did not, however, offer to release any more of her IRS filings.
The episode began on Monday night, when Warren called on Brown to release two decades worth of filings.
“I think Scott Brown should release his tax returns for all the years he’s been in public service,†Warren said in Worcester Monday night, according to the website GoLocalWorcester.com. “He’s been in public service for 20 years, then he should have 20 years of tax returns.â€

She sounds like her own worse enemy. Hopefully this doesn't hurt her in Nov.

4. That would be brilliant...
Even if Romney doesn't she should release a lot more. The sooner the better. And with an apology.

I can't believe the "squaw" is still competitive in that race.

Only in MA or CA would she still have a chance.

Warren makes far more money than Brown, why on earth would she want to get into this tax return mess?

Scott should go along with the 20 year look back. Then she would have to do the same. We'd get to see what her bonus was the year that she won a HUGE lawsuit for a Wall Street insurance company. The lawsuit settlement gave mesothelioma victims just about nothing and saved her Wall Street client a fortune. What was her bonus that year? No one wants to say but we haven't heard her go into a 'transparency tirade' because of that. 20 years would also bring us back to just about the time that she decided to be a Native American. Nice little uptick on her returns for that year too. Voters need to see the real Liz.

Well dead Ted is still dead. That's a positive.Maybe he'll arrive at the poll in a VW Bug.
The negative is that he can still vote.
Maybe he'll arrive at the poll in a VW Bug.They actually will float for a good bit of time. That would be no good for the Chappaquiddick dunking swimmer.

I am still trying to figure how one of those cost $2,000.00 brand new in the 70's; and today they cost upwards of $30,000.00. :confused:
As for Pocahontas? She is a major basket case ...

Oh my God, is she ugly. I'm sure she's quite wealthy, can't she go see a hairdresser, and also get those eyebrows plucked? Gah!
I wonder what Lizzy is going to talk about in her convention speech. Do you think it'll be in the same flavor as "you didn't build that?"
This is the state that repeatedly reelected a man who killed a woman.

And if it gives us another vote in the Senate I am all in favor of it.
Granny Warren needs tobe asked to defend the Hard-vard endowment situation. Lizzy should any institution be allowed to have that much money and charge students the outrageous rates they do? Hard-vard should use it to forgive all former students loans. :fuelfire:< Warning spork alert <:spork:

And she gets how much to teach there??
