Elizabeth Warren demanded Monday that Senator Scott Brown release more of his tax returns. The only problem was that Brown, her Republican rival, had already allowed reporters to inspect six years of tax returns while Warren has refused to reveal more than four years of her filings.
Asked to reconcile that apparent conflict, Warren abruptly backed off her demand, sayingTuesday morning that six years of Brown’s filings was enough. She did not, however, offer to release any more of her IRS filings.

... And Scott Brown should release all his families geneology records, for at least 200 years! Oh, never mind.
Strange that the state democratic party acknowledged Martha Coakley was not an effective candidate, then clears the deck to get Elizabeth Warren the nomination sans a thorough vetting. In any other state Liz would have been replaced. Keep saying Senator Scott Brown. Given this track record.....Tim Murray may be their guy in 2018!
Prof. Warren is a buffoon. Her campaign is one BIG joke. The Dems would love to have Marsha Coakley running again instead of this poor fool. This moonbat can't get out of her own way. Let's see the Professor release her job applications for the past twenty years. The electorate has a right to see what boxes she checked off.
Professor Warren is the most qualified candidate. She is the best, most articulate, most thoughtful and knowledgeable candidate either political party has brought forth in this state in thirty five years. Massachusetts is going to be very happy with her in the Senate. Massachusetts will do well to continue its tradition of having two Democratic senators after this brief slip with Scott Brown.
Cheekbones Warren is a fraud and a fool. Quite a combination.
This is Betsy Warren's first campaign and it shows. Only the latest in a long line of "Open mouth, insert foot" gaffes.
And this is the femme that claims to be mentor for a bunch of juvenile protestors of society's ills? Lizzy Warren, Granny to the fans of Howie Carr, can't get solid evidence of her own ethnic background; she assails her sanatorial campaign opponent in a matter of personal tax information release while limiting press access to her own IRS tax data; she runs ads demanding public funding for a select group of workers - you can bet they are all unionized; she claims to be an advocate for the middle class, while she keeps her hand in Harvard University's pocket to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars a year. All this and Lizzy wants the public to trust her to be an effective lawmaker in the nation's oldest debating society? How's about she run for election to the Massachusetts House of Representatives... maybe she could carry water for Bobby DeLeo.
Elizabeth Warren is not only a faux Native American. She is also a flip flopper. Release your tax returns, Lizzy. What are you hiding?

Shouldn't the headline read: "Warren asks of Brown what she won't provide herself"? And she holds herself out as the typical "smart" liberal? What a complete joke! She's the "inspirational" leader of "Occupy", a "movement" which even the Globe couldn't discern its direction (and which is now utterly defunct). She claims we need "infrastructure" spending on the scale of the Chinese which would bankrupt the country besides the fact that the Chinese are spending at such levels now only because they'd stifled needed development for the last 100 years. Add this idiotic position on tax returns (has any tax return ever made a difference for any candidate?) with her "heritage" issue and you have a series of stupidity unlike any in recent American history (much less Massachusetts). And we're to believe the "professor" is "smarter" than everyone (much less Brown)? Riiiiiiggggght.
