LOL...even Santorum attacked Romney on his blind trusts

(forgive me if you've seen this)

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/blind-trusts/

Rick Santorum’s campaign has opened up a new line of attack against Mitt Romney, pointing out his evolution on the issue of how wealthy politicians should treat their money.

Santorum’s campaign plans to highlight and distribute a video – a clip of Mitt Romney in 1994 attacking Sen. Edward Kennedy for hiding behind a blind trust to avoid questions about his investments.

At the time, Romney described a blind trust as an “age-old ruse… You can always tell a blind trust what it can and cannot do,” Romney told reporters in 1994 as he was challenging Kennedy in a race for senate.

Romney, who is worth an estimated $250 million, has since adopted just such a blind trust to oversee his investments, although some of the investments have not been without controversy.
