And the winner of the Olympic gold medal in outsourcing and financial secrecy is ... Mitt Romney

As Mitt Romney would say, you'll be "completely guffawing" and/or "laughing uproariously" after watching the latest Priorities USA ad congratulating him on his victory:

Mitt Romney wins gold in the Plutocrat's Pentathlon
Welcome to the Olympics.  There's Mitt Romney, who ran the Salt Lake City Games, waving to...

China - home to a billion people.  Thousands owe their jobs to Mitt Romney's companies.

India, which also gained jobs thanks to Romney, an outsourcing pioneer.

And Burma, where Romney had the uniforms made for the 2002 games.

We know the Swiss have a special place in Mitt Romney's wallet ' er - heart.

He kept millions in Swiss banks ' those Swiss sure know how to keep a secret.

Speaking of secrets, there's Bermuda.  Home to a secretive corporation set up by Romney.  No one knows why.  And Romney won't tell.

And the Cayman Islands. Where Romney keeps millions to avoid U.S. taxes.

Ya gotta say this about Mitt Romney.  He sure knows how to go for the gold...for himself.

Priorities USA Action is responsible for the content of this advertising.

Of course, the really shocking thing about this ad isn't that Mitt Romney has secret shell companies and offshore accounts in the Caribbean ... it's that both Bermuda and the Cayman Islands had Winter Olympic teams in 2002.  

(Dartagnan has a recommended diary on the ad.)
