Lucianne Wingnuts speculate Kerry has Marfan's Syndrome
Good lord these nutcases are reaching. I want Bushie's medical record released. Let's see what the Chimp is prescribed and why he's falling down so much!

GOP Kerry diagnosis
is bad medicine

Republicans have the wrong answer to "Why the long face?" in Sen. John Kerry's case.
Dozens of conservatives, including Lucianne Goldberg, have been speculating that the Democratic presidential nominee has Marfan syndrome, which is characterized by unusually long arms and legs, tall height and an elongated countenance.

Some have wondered whether Abraham Lincoln had the genetic disorder.

It would be a major concern in the case of Kerry, as some patients suffer heart problems because of it, if it were true. And right-wing bloggers have been speculating that doctors have "prescribed" the Democratic candidate's active regimen of hockey, windsurfing and other sports to keep him limber. But a Marfan syndrome expert seriously doubts that's the case.

1. No way. They have no understanding of the syndrome.
My father and brother have Marfan's, and they do not have particularly elongated limbs or features. They are tall, but that's about as far as it goes.

2. They'll shovel bushit till they run out
And we know even when Kerry is President it will not stop. I wish we could ship these idiots off somewhere and let them run their own government - be fun to watch it disintegrate.
