In Thursday's debate in South Carolina, the one where Gingrich soared, Romney stuttered, Paul sniggered and Santorum ... was also there ... moderator John King prodded the gentlemen with questions on tax returns, a segment that greatly overshadowed any attempt to remind people that Gingrich isn't good at monogamy. King's express interest was in trying to get Romney to either a) be bold, like his father, and release a decade or so of tax returns, b) self-destruct, or c) somehow get carried to safety by the little flapping wings of supportive South Carolinian audience members. The fun part was the contrasts that ended up getting drawn between Romney the barely-taxpayer and everybody else who pays taxes. Ron Paul said the main reason he wasn't releasing his returns is because he'd be "embarrassed" by how little income he makes. "No one's challenging me because I have no conflict of interest," Paul said. Touuuuuché.
