When The Media Misses The Obvious

Newly released medical records from vice presidential candidate Joe Biden do not include the results of any recent brain scans,....

Maybe surgeons decided to just remove the whole thing when they did the aneurysm surgery? Kind of like an appendix in Biden's case if you ask me.

What is it with this year. No dems want to release any records but they expect the republicans to release everything. Why is this double standard allowed to stand?

[Worst President Ever]

McCain hasn't released his full health records. And I don't think Palin's released any of her health records.

[the asset]

hmmm. well, a series of debilitating mini-strokes *would* explain (some of) biden's epic, profound stupidity, so of course there were no brain scans released.

how 'bout botox and hair plugs? did they release biden's plastic surgery records? no?

how very odd.

[Worst President Ever]

Are IQ tests included in health records? Maybe that's why Palin won't release any of hers.

And I guess McCain's multiple bouts with cancer may explain why he's not released his full records either.

[the asset]

heck yeah, let's release IQ tests, president carter!

maybe biden's sub-idiot score *would* explain that whole "3 words: j-o-b-s" thing. now now, i know what you're thinking: "no fair! his botox shots went horribly wrong, and leaked into his brain! biden's epic, profound, jaw-dropping stupidity is therefore not his fault!! besides, it's rude to pick on democrat retards!"

palin looked bad on one (count 'em) one interview that was conducted by - and more importantly, **edited** by - one of her ideological enemies. BIDEN, well, biden's just a frickin' idiot. ("i've forgotten more about foreign policy than ANYone!") he proves it every single time he steps up to a microphone, which is why they don't allow him to do that anymore. didja notice?

It's a serious invasion of privacy to demand health records of anyone unless the job requires it. The fact that these four candidates have gone through the most grueling work of campaigning for two years should say enough about their health. What if all the health records are released? Then what? Is the candidate going to be forced to drop out because he had a herpetic mis'ry on his lip back in '68?

[Worst President Ever]

The job requires it - duh.

Hey, we agree. I couldn't be happier with McCain's choice of Palin. I don't think there's anything he's done that's helped Obama more.

"The job requires it - duh."

That one get past you, did it? duh.

The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

[Worst President Ever]

Joe Six-Pack is gonna live this stuff:

$49,425.74 spent at Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York combined in early September.

$75,062.63 spent at Nieman Marcus in Minneapolis in early September.

$4,714.49 spent on hair and makeup through September, after reporting no such expenses in August.

I wonder if the hill folk and corn field dwellers that come out to gape at Caribou Barbie even know what Neiman Marcus is.

[Worst President Ever]

Looks like it doesn't stop with clothes, Palin likes makeup too - over $13,000 worth last month.

"The Sleuth has learned that Palin's high-paid traveling make-up artist is Amy Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for her work as head of makeup on "So You Think You Can Dance." Strozzi was paid $13,200 by the McCain-Palin campaign last month alone, according to the campaign's latest financial disclosure report filed this week."

as has been noted before, the way you can tell that palin was such an excellent pick is to monitor the liberal reaction to her.

fear. hatred. hysteria. misogyny.

if she was a lousy pick; if she was no threat to them, they'd be (sorta) praising her. look at it this way: how did the liberals react to reagan? with hatred, fury, panic, etc. just like with palin. how'd they react to g. bush the elder? why, they...didn't react like that at all, did they. bush was "reasonable". they could "work with" (read: mug) him.

finally, since liberals are incapable of telling the truth, we need only note how WPE mendaciously intones that he "couldn't be happier" with palin. lips moving? they're lying. palin 2012!

[Worst President Ever]

Trust me, I'm ECSTATIC about McCain picking Sarah the Shopper as his VP. I can't think of anything else he's done that has helped Obama more - and that's saying something.

I'm really hoping to hear more about Sarah the Shopper's $150,000 spending spree. I'm not exactly sure what kind of fiscal conservatism that is though. Perhaps one of the resident wingnuts can explain.

"Newly released medical records from vice presidential candidate Joe Biden do not include the results of any recent brain scans,...."

Yeah, and vacant lots don't get termite inspections either.
