Everybody Lines Up Exactly Where Expected for Reid/Romney Tax Battle
Dems: "Reid speaks the truth!" GOP: "Reid is a liar!"
"Harry Reid made a statement that is true. Somebody told him. It is a fact," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told the Huffington Post on Monday in support of Reid.

Kind of ironic how much like a Birther Debbie Wasserman Schultz sounds now. With just three tweaks of her quote, you get this:
"I don't know who [Donald Trump]'s source was, but I do know that this is a question that has swirled around [Barack Obama] for this entire campaign. I do know that he could clear it up just like that, lickety-split, by releasing his [birth certificate]." - Debbie Wasserman Schultz
