McCain delays release of medical records AGAIN... what's he hiding?

[npincus]

And recently McCain refered to his age as a consideration in his VP selection, putting his mortality and fitness to perform his duties up front... so is there something in particular he is sitting on? Why not release them if there is no "there" there?

In 1999, during John McCain’s first presidential campaign, the senator, then 63, couldn’t have been any more forthcoming when it came to his medical history. Months before a single vote was cast, McCain instructed his campaign to release 1,500 pages of medical and psychiatric records. What’s more, journalists with additional questions were given direct access to McCain’s personal physician.

That was then; this is now. The NYT’s Lawrence Altman, a physician, reported a month ago:

T]his time around, Mr. McCain has yet to make his full medical records or his physicians available to reporters. At least three times since March 2007, campaign officials have told The New York Times that they would provide the detailed information about his current state of health, but they have not done so. The campaign now says it expects to release the information in April.

With this in mind, it came as a bit of a surprise when CNN reported yesterday, “The McCain campaign said Wednesday the Arizona senator’s medical records will no longer be released by April 15. They now say the new timetable is ’sometime in May.’”

with him whispering in Grandpa's ear... then the tall one could be.... Mitt? Cindy McCain?

And of course, replace "Bernie's" with "Johnnie's"... :rofl:

4. That bad outbreak

of necrotizing fasciitis he had a while back?

A few episodes of "the French disease"?

10. Former Quebec Premier Lucienne Bouchard...

...contracted necrotizing fascitis (flesh-eating disease) in 1994.

Our CBC pundits came up with this one:

"...The first-known case in history of a bug eating a frog."

That may tell you a lot.

15. on top of that, he's rejected Secret Service protection

he's showing himself to be a bit reckless and cavalier about security, no? That shouldn't bod well for his image as a leader.
