So Palin has agreed to release her medical records and her staff is freaked?

[gatorboy]

The Palin campaign staff seemed surprise she would say this according the Chuck Todd who witnessed this. This might get interesting. :)

[Kookaburra]

1. Medical, right? Not psychological?

Too bad -- the latter would have been way more fun to read.

[KatyaR]

27. I wonder if she could get psychiatric records if she had them?

I know in Oklahoma, at least, you can obtain your own medical records but not your psychiatric records. I guess that's so you don't read what the doctor and nursing staff said about you and then go after them with a gun . . . .

[pennylayne]

2. so she says

saying it and doing it are two different things..i'll believe it when i see it.

[gatorboy]

5. If she says it during the taping it will be very hard to backtrack on.

It will make them look like they're seriously hiding something.

[yardwork]

16. When has that ever stopped Republicans from shamelessly lying?

[ecstatic]

8. Very true. Palin has no problem with shameless lies (ie. troopergate denials)

"I've been cleared!" :eyes:

[Window]

20. She was just flapping again. She'll release nothing.

[billyoc]

3. Let's see those redacted psych records.

:rofl:

[doublethink]

4. I want to see McCains. n.t.

[crossroads]

6. Hmmm... Does she have 'mad cow' disease?

[These Eyes]

7. I know I may be wrong for feeling this way…

but watching the implosion of the McCain campaign makes me absolutely gleeful!

:bounce: :woohoo: :bounce: :woohoo:

[WinkyDink]

9. Believe it when you see them.

[Overseas]

10. I think because she was supposed to hold out in solidarity with McMelanoma.

I think that was it. She has to withhold her stuff so we won't press for his info.

But I'm fine with the other speculation too at this point.

[peaches2003]

14. You hit the nail on the head

If she meant it (and doesn't change it to 'after the election if we win') she has put McC in a bad spot. He released some of his to selected reporters, no notes, for just a short time so they couldn't have any record of his medical stats. Now he will be in a fix. I think both campaigns were shocked from what Chuckie T said.

Let's face it- she's already running for 2012 and is kicking McCain off her bus.

[FreeState]

11. “I’ll try to find ya some and I”ll bring them to ya.” I call BS n/t

[theothersnippywshrub]

12. Did she say it in English? Were the grammar and syntax such that the meaning

of her statement was comprehensible? If so, it was just another Palin lie. If not, it was just another Palin lie.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. She was actually very defensive talking about it. Basically something else for people to pry

into her life. Her attitude was piss poor.

Not that we care that a potential President is healthy, right?

[yardwork]

18. Her attitude is always piss poor.

[theothersnippywshrub]

26. She and the Shadow Governor Dude can taste the presidency.

Her health should not be an issue for their subjects. I bet she and the Shadow Governor Dude have spent a lot of time studying Section 4 of the 25th amendment to the Constitution:

4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

13. They can doctor her records so that they look wonderful...but....

that growth on McCain's jaw looked huge today. He's a sick man and he knows it.

[goclark]

17. Will it list her latest pregnancy?

[yardwork]

22. Not necessarily. It depends on which records are released.

There is no central bank compiling everyone's various medical records from doctor's visits, hospital stays, urgent care visits, etc. Each provider keeps their own records for each patient. Palin could release the records from her personal physician, for instance, but they might not note anything about her pregnancies or deliveries unless the doctor noted that information.

A lot of medical records are self-reported anyway.

[theothersnippywshrub]

21. Not only does he know it, but she knows it also. And the Shadow Governor Dude knows it. n/t

[Robyn66]

19. She won't release them until AFTER the election!

[rainbow4321]

23. Uh-huh..we will see how much is redacted

we'll probably only be left with seeing the word "female", her age, and whatever happened to her hand a few weeks ago when she had a huge bandaid on it. BUT, it would let her say that she "released her medical records".

[Hepburn]

24. I think she thinks all of us are totally stupid and no one will be able to figure out...

...that she was NEVER pregnant with Trig. Her staff does not underestimate us!

[Rosco T.]

25. They've had time to ... er.. doctor them n/m
