Mitt Lived in "Palace" in France

It seems that multi-millionaire plutocrat Mitt "The Flip-flopper" Romney flip-flops not only on his political views, changing them according to whatever he considers the most politically expedient, he also seems to have flip-flopped on his own biography.
Although Romney told  supporters that he had experienced austerity as a Mormon missionary in France, using a bucket for a lavatory and a hose for a shower, in reality Mitt Romney was living in an 18-room palace in one of the ritziest neighborhoods of Paris.
The intrepid reporters of the [London] Telegraph revealed this information in an article dated December 11, 2011.
The Telegraph reports that, "the Republican presidential hopeful spent a significant portion of his 30-month mission in a Paris mansion described by fellow American missionaries...as [a] “palace”  It featured stained glass windows, chandeliers, and an extensive art collection. It was staffed by two servants – a Spanish chef and a houseboy.
“They were very big rooms,” said Christian Euvrard, the 72-year-old director of the Mormon-run Institute of Religion in Paris, who knew Mr Romney. “Very comfortable. The building had beautiful gilded interiors, a magnificent staircase in cast iron, and an immense hall.”
According to the Telegraph, the Mormons sold the palace in the 1970s, and it was until recently the embassy of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates.  The palace is currently estimated to be worth as much as $12 million. Source: http://tgr.ph/ynwabE
So, since we have so much evidence of how Mitt Romney flip-flops on the issues and even flip-flops on his own backgrond, how can we believe what he says if he became president?
And, by the way, Mitt, when are you going to release those income tax returns of your, just like all your adversaries?
