He's not in the least ashamed. Granted he doesn't want to be exposed, but it isn't shame.

I don't think he gives a shit what anyone thinks- he and his wife do not believe they are required to be the least bit accountable- they are clearly (in their minds), "above all that". Staying secretive and sleezy is what he does best and he's not going to give that up without a fight.

Regardless of whether rMoney feels ashamed, to suggest that he's hiding things out of shame is a succinct, fn not entirely accurate, encapsulation of the issue, in that it at least makes the point that he did something wrong.

I kinda like it--

Mitt is ashamed of all of the millions he has earned through his various healthcare companies.Tracking them all is like the BCCI-Bush-Carlyle- Bin Laden finances in Swiss-Cayman-Bermuda accounts.He wants to be in charge of the the fed meds,while making millions off of the very subject entiities.Google Bain ,look at the health care companies. Think of all of them when next he yaks.
