“ Here is reason number one thousand and forty for releasing your tax returns if you’re running for President of the United States: if you don’t, someone will try to reverse engineer them, using whatever scraps of paper are available, until they have built some sort of structure that may, in your mind, look like a clumsy papier-mâché version of your well-ordered financial house—and you will have no cause to complain; they will be performing a public service. This is the case with the nine hundred and fifty pages related to Romney’s Bain holdings, that Gawker, to its credit, released today.”
I like that they have to begrudgingly clarify that they support Gawker’s actions. If (when) Gawker wins a Pulitzer, the committee will scrape a caveat into the award.
