Burr defends Romney for hiding his income

Faith is believing in something in the absence of evidence:

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr said Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney shouldn’t release any more tax records. "He’s probably lived exactly by the letter of the law"..."I think he pays a pretty good amount of taxes," Burr said of Romney.

Excuse my French, but that's some silly shit right there. "Probably" and "I think"? This guy is sitting on the Senate Finance Committee now, which has jurisdiction over all forms of taxes, tariffs, etc. And he's on the Select Committee on Intelligence. That second thing would cause my mom to say, "Steve! Why are you just sitting there staring with your mouth open like that?" if she saw me right now. Non-plussed, I believe is the proper adjective.
