Palin Medical Records
Email
ShareOctober 23, 2008 1:42 PM
ABC News’ Kate Snow Reports: After Governor Sarah Palin said it would be “fine” to release her medical records in an interview Wednesday, the McCain-Palin campaign is feeling no sense of urgency about actually releasing any records.
Spokeswoman Maria Comella told ABC News on Thursday: “When medical information related to Governor Palin’s health is ready to be released we will make that information available.”
NBC’s Brian Williams had asked Palin in an interview that aired Wednesday, “Did I hear you just agree to release your medical records?"
Palin replied: "The medical records. So be it. If that will allow some curiosity seekers, perhaps, to have one more thing that they can either check the box off that they can find something to criticize, perhaps, or find something to rest them assured over. Fine. I'm healthy, I'm happy, had five kids. That is going to be in the medical records. Never been seriously ill or hurt. You will see that in the medical records if they're released."
Comella declined to give any more information about when the records might be released or whether there were any particular issues holding up their release.

Interesting. I wonder if all records from her most recent pregnancy will be made public.

If you want to be open Palin, release your e-mails, you know, the ones you hid in the yahoo accounts.

Pretty certain they just don't want records of her two abortions leaked until after she overturns Roe vs Wade.

Where are Obamas birth records? Is he a US citz?

Why not ask why Joe Biden brain scans have not been released. Here is a man who had 2 serious brain surgery but no recent scans of the brain? Hmm wonder who's head need to be examined Palins or Bidens? After Bidens gaff filled speaches and his calling to everybody's attention that electing Obama will result is an international crisis I guess I would have to say "Biden" hands down!

I think we are still waiting for Obama's medical records.

I'd love to see the records for her LATEST birth---her "son" Trig. I'm betting Bristol's (next) baby will be a "late" baby.

Chas Holman-you are a piece of trash and people like you deserve to get whatever it is that is coming to you in Hell. You ignorant idiot.

supposedly obama's birth certificate was released june 2008 but it didn't seem to satisfy some. FOX news hasn't taken it up which is surprising if it were damaging or never released. palin just said in an interview she would release her medical records but nothing yet. no matter as it might be too little, too late as she loses more and more support and by association mccain.
Posted by: Lawrence | Oct 23, 2008 2:00:47 PM
Yes her pregancy, the latest one...ummmm????
and what about a cranial xray?
Posted by: Barb | Oct 23, 2008 2:01:11 PM
Its in the same place as BO's birthday certificate. If that isn't enough her records are in the same place as Joe Bidens, MRI records of his brain tumor.
What the heck does it matter? Liberals are liberals first, facts don't matter to them.
Posted by: heavenislikethis | Oct 23, 2008 2:01:13 PM
When will Obama release his records? Is he still taking drugs? What about brain scan? Is there anything there but bluster? What about his birth certificate, which I understand has taken on intense interests as of late.

I love how they are picking on every little thing on Palin, they aren't going to find anything in her medical records and who cares about her wardrobe. No one ever asks how much a male politicians wardrobe costs, it's pathetic that people care more about the superficial things than the real issues.

Palin's head needs to be examined, that's definitive and I believe there's a virtual consensus on that as well. She's been having so many kids, a lot of involves the fact that she doesn't believe in birth control and sex education. She doesn't believe in evolution, she believes in creationism. She doesn't believe in global warming and believes it's attributable to the "earth's natural cycles." Can you say uneducated? That's Sarah Palin.
Posted by: Jennifer | Oct 23, 2008 2:02:03 PM
I guess she didn't realize that her pregnancies (and delivery dates for all of her kids) would be on her medical records before she volunteered to release them. WHOOPS!

The VP's non released health records are the top story for ABC and the VP nomination hasn't even released his, just a one paragraph note from his dr saying he is healthy. I'm so happy that the VP's health is your top concern, but maybe you should worry a little more about the dem pres candidates health!!
