The last time we had a guy running for president who basically got his fortune by marrying a super rich heiress (Teresa Heinz Kerry), the traditional media thought it was Vitally Important to Democracy and Transparent Politics that she release her tax returns.
Apparently, the same standard doesn't apply to Cindy McCain. I'm sure the situation is COMPLETELY and totally different; otherwise, our "ultra-liberal socialist America-hating terrorist-loving media" would be screaming bloody murder.
Surely they would.

My impression is people ARE throwing a fit.
Posted by: Humbaba on May 10, 2008 06:19 PMDo you know of any examples (e.g. editorials or columns) in any newspapers or on any networks where someone is calling for this? Or any news articles or reports where the lack of disclosure has been mentioned?
The only places I've seen are on the front page of Daily Kos and maybe a liberal blog or two.
