McCain allows peek at medical records

Headline from teh intarwebs: "McCain appears cancer-free and healthy, just like Ted Kennedy did until a few days ago."

Straight-talking maverick John McCain will give select members of the media -- “a tightly controlled group of reporters,” AKA his "base" -- a three-hour glimpse at his huge stack of medical records Friday, right at the start of the long Memorial Day Weekend. Uh-huh.

Presidents and candidates have released records in the past, and some, like McCain, have stipulated that the records cannot leave the room. No cell phones or Internet access will be allowed in the room, located in a resort outside Phoenix, Arizona. Copying the records is also prohibited. Anyone who leaves the room for any reason except the bathroom will not be allowed back.

The confused old nutjob, who has been diagnosed with four melanomas and high cholesterol, has had both arms and one of his legs broken, has undergone torture ("We don't torture!" screams the ambassador of Vietnam), psychotic episodes of temper, and repeated assrapings by portly scumwad Karl Rove during the 2004 campaign, is under pressure to prove to the public that he is physically fit for office.

The real question isn't whether he is physically fit. The real question is, as a talking head on CNN so cunningly implied, whether he is mentally fit. Let's face it, five years of being tortured typically qualify you for a lifetime of physical and mental therapy -- *not* for the Presidency.
