Where Are Palin's Medical Records?

Posted by Ali Frick, Think Progress at 1:59 PM on October 29, 2008.

Apparently the bottom of the Republican ticket acts just like the top of the ticket when it comes to medical records.

n an interview with NBC’s Brian Williams last week, Palin said — apparently to the surprise of her staff — that she would release her full medical records soon. On Sunday, the campaign told ABC News the release would happen “early this week.” Noting that “today is Wednesday,” ABC is wondering, “What’s the hold up?”

ABC News has asked every day this week about the status of the release of information and received no updates from the campaign. It is unclear what is holding things up. […]
Aides suggested privately that there was nothing to hide in the records, but that it was simply taking a while to call doctors and round up the appropriate information to release.
But an entire week?

Ignoring the call of journalists and thousands of physicians, McCain has also refused to release his full medical records.

WE OUGHT TO KNOW BY NOW [Report this comment] Posted by: VZEQICVA on Oct 29, 2008 6:30 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Sarah does as she pleases, and is not bound by any rules. The cute wink and smile is her version of 'kiss my ass'. I have many questions about the state of her mental health and medications. There are questions surrounding the birth of her last child. She's just an obstinate brat and no one will take her on. She's busy churning up the Republican hate machine and unfortunately they love it.

[Report this comment] Posted by: britta on Oct 29, 2008 10:14 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] From the very first moment I saw Palin on tv, I was convinced that she had a mental illness. I did not know at that time that she had a child with Down Syndrome but when I heard about that I thought :ah, there it is, The connection. Very often you can see in women signs of Down Syndrome, although they seem normal and have no abnormalities at all. Yet, the moment they bring a mentally ill child in the world, you realize that it was visible,(in faces/eyes slants/handforms/speech..not all at the same time, but those are signs) sometimes not very clear, othertimes rather strongly. Palins medical reports should be given out because the longer she stops those from being seen, the more I believe she has been in treatment and shall do all she can to hide that fact. Following some of her comments and speeches, and studying her face expressions, there is a strong evidence of delusions, religious obsession with paranoial tendences and obsessive disorders. She should be taken off the ticket immediately before things go further out of hand and should not be given any more chances to be in power..anywhere. She is a total disaster and very, very dangerous because of her limited brain capacity.
