Desperately seeking a fig leaf:

Perry: Candidates should be ‘transparent’ about tax returns, transcripts

“I’m a big believer that no matter who you are, or what office you’re running for, you should be as transparent as you can be with your tax returns and other aspects of your life so that people have the appropriate ability to judge your background and what have you.

“I certainly think it is inappropriate for the president of the United States to not keep his college transcript and his law school transcripts public, that he should make those available.”

“I’m all about transparency.”
