The Wall Street Journal editorial board on Monday railed against Harry Reid’s tax accusations against Mitt Romney. Reid claims a Bain Capital investor told him that Romney didn’t pay taxes for 10 years. Reid won’t reveal his source. Romney has told the Senate Majority Leader to “put up, or shut up.”

Reid’s accusations, according to the Journal, are “a smear from the fever swamps that say more about Mr. Reid’s ethics than they do about Mr. Romney’s taxes.”
