Why is Palin being so secretive about her medical records?
By SilentPatriot Friday Oct 24, 2008 8:00am
During an interview with Brian Williams last night, Sarah Palin danced around the issue of her medical records and whether or not they will be released.
Palin: "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."
Why all the secrecy? We saw the same thing with John McCain when he made his records public for only three hours to a small group of select reporters. It understand McCain's reluctance, but what does a seemingly healthy 44 year old have to hide?
According to the McCain camp, it doesn't look like we'll find out the answer anytime soon.
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.”
Andrew is all over it.

the scarlet letter for the evangelicals, and I don't mean adultery.
Oh..and FRIIIIIIIIIIST!!
the "A" word?
as in "A"bsolutely crazy?
you know that other word that starts with A and most people pretending to be pro-lifers and evangelical xtians pretend to hate? you know the word... it's the one they want to overturn Roe vs Wade for... sssshhh! don't say it too loud!
Maybe the records show that the kid she is hauling around belongs NOT to her, but to her daughter?
Oh yeah, it's either that or she's had an abortion!
Its quite possible that she contracted herpes from that business partner that she had an affair with...It was in lasts months Enquire and after John Edwards fall from grace. Thanks to them! you know its got to be true
All Palin has is her sexual persona.
Suppose the medical report says that she suffers with severe boughts of .....hemmorrhoids. That she uses Preparation H by the case. There is a huge possibility that after having five kids, she may have had a hemorrhoidectomy. Nothing to be ashamed of, but there goes the sexual persona. She would certainly lose the sexual fantasy most men have of her, if it was reported, that every time she has a bowel movement she sounds like an Alaskan moose mating.
All kinds of events in her life she sums up. But nothing on the mental side. Could she have been committed?
don't you think? The woman can't string a sentence together to save her life! Honestly... she graduated from elementary school?? And her summation of events in her life doesn't mean it's the truth, doncha know? I believe we won't see these records any time soon, and quite possibly we won't see them any time.
Even if she did attend 5 colleges in 4 years you would think that she might of left school with a better command of the English language!Sarah Palin is a complete fucking moron!
Could it be that her pregnancy is faked and that the medical records would prove that?
I have been hearing rumors that Palin was not pregnant last time and was covering up for one of her daughters. Anyone know anything about this rumor?
She did say "check the box...if you want to..."
You're bad.
She is not the mother of little Trigg....
Proof or it is just a rumor.
I'd bet every penny I've got that Trigg is Bristols first kid. This is why the disasta from Alaska wont release her records.
The rumor about Trig not being her child is, of course, totally unfounded at the moment. The fact that they're dancing around the medical records issue is interesting, to say the least, but at the same time, we shouldn't play their game and do the whole "refusal to answer the question is construed as guilt" thing.
Still, it doesn't seem unreasonable for the full medical records of people running for the two most powerful offices in the United States, and possibly the world, to be available. (And available permanently, not for that thirty-minute sham McCain did.)
If Sarah Palin had an abortion (personal), VD (personal...unless it was syphillis which could ultimately make her crazy and kill her) I don't necessarily think we have a right to know that. Sure, it would be a political bombshell that would show what a hypocrite she is, but it's still just "personal" health issues that bear no great import on her "health" (IMO). Of course if she had the ultimate VD (HIV) that would obviously be critical for the voters to know.
I care about life threatening issues. Does she have a heart problem? What is her current cancer blood titer? How is her blood pressure? What medications does she take? Drug test? That would be good to know. (Pot, coke, alcohol etc.) (Not that I expect any VP or Pres. to be a teetotaler).
The problem with Palin is that she is obviously hiding "something" here. The voting public have a right to know any presidential/vice-presidential candidate's medical history prior to an election. Particularly in the case of McCain and Palin. They could get elected (choke!, gasp!, gag!), and within a matter of months "something" could happen with McCain and we'd be stuck with Palin.
What's she hiding? What is McCain hiding? The MSM needs to be all over this.
Hey! Maybe the MSM's persistence on McCain's and Palin's health records will be the thing that will light his anger fuse and make him blow up!!!! Better it should happen before the election than after.
I wouldn't doubt that she tokes reefer and there isn't anything wrong with that,unless you're running for VP of us then maybe not a good habit to have!She does act like she's one toke over the line!
Please don't insult decent stoners by linking Palin to us...er...them...
wait/what?
Yeah the first thing I thought when I read the headline was .oO(She probably had a hysterectomy years ago. That's the big secret.)
Making baby trigger a miracle birth.
But then being a fundie idiot wouldn't she want to shout that to the rooftops? Look ! Da lord has blessed me! LOL!
Seriously though, if she's actually healthy then why is she so adverse to releasing her medical records? Is there a major health issue she's trying to hide?
She certainly has the 'secrecy' part of being a reslug VP down pat.
She's covering up for Bristol.
Didja hear this 44-year-old baby factory wants to name her next kid "Zamboni"?
Oh, what a classy lady ...
which means she's hiding something.
line from MacBeth? Oh yeah... Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Sorry, had to toss that in.
But then, yaknow I read Shakespeare, you know all of 'em, like, whatever's put in front of me, 'cause it's important to be informed an' all, you betcha!
Do harpies even have medical records?
Seems the more we know about the lipstick-pig, the more bazaar this whole thing gets. I'm sure mcOld vetted her medical records??? No??
Good God, now I suppose she's going to have a history of treatment for something that will make her look like the rest of us. Hey...five kids and 20 years ought to offer something interesting, no?
Personally I like "bible spice" and "caribou barbie".
"If" they're released?
Did you see this last night?

Thanks for the link. Funneh!
that was great!!! I'll be sure to watch it several times and to forward the link to friends.
Not a MILF, but a GILF!
I'm a newcomer--what is MILF or GILF?
There's this thing called "The Google." Check it out!
or visit urbandictionary.com and you'll get it...
or you could've simply told her what it meant. it would've taken the same amount of time and you would've been less of a jackass
OMG---Thank you, I see why you couldn't tell me.
The REAL Reason Palin Has Refused to Release Her Medical Records
http://satiricalpolitical.com/?p=4292
McCain released over 1,200 pages of medical records.
Biden released 49 pages but, the documents did not include any records about recent exams related to Biden’s near-fatal aneurysms in 1988.
I am sure Palin will indeed release hers very shortly.
Obama.....released a one-page letter summarizing his health records shortly after McCain made his records known. 1 page? Wow, how about the complete record? I can release a one page letter also, but wouldn't actually seeing the records be better?
"Released"? As in, here's your one hour to read them, don't copy anything and don't take pictures or notes?
I'm actually conflicted about how I feel about the whole medical records thing. It's a privacy thing.
we agree it is a privacy issue. Wow a conservative agreeing with you, mark that day down.
Could you be more childish? Are "conservatives" a monolithic group? No? Neither are "liberals". Mark that day on your calendar.
That made me laugh :)
Good. We all take ourselves too seriously sometimes.
tell that to your potential employer next time you interview.
You've had to provide medical records? Really? I am a nurse and have never had to provide records. Pee in a cup, lift 20 pounds, jump up and down, yes. Records, no.
my point is that "privacy" about your medical condition is not guaranteed. You cannot discriminate based on disability, but employers can inquire about your health habits(smoking, drugs). You can't claim privacy there.
I guess that's my point. I'm all for medical "info" to be released, but not necessarily "records". I can't stand Palin, but I don't really think whether or not she had an abortion in her teens is valid canon fodder. Maybe they should have a medical review board, or something to "certify" that someone is healthy enough in mind and body to run?
Yes you are right but don't you think that each candidate should be required to take a complete physical immediately after getting their party's nomination?Every job I've ever had came with a physical exam!
it's the info that's on the page, not how many pages. How can you be so sure palin will release? She's not even sure.
I think she will Rick, but if she does, I would say release a summary just like Obama did, since as you say, "it's the info that's on the page, not how many pages"
you can have a one page listing of lab data and other diagnostic results, including indicators for serious problems like heart, cancers, etc. There ought to be some minimal medical qualifications that are released, in my opinion, for any publicly elected official. It wouldn't disqualify them. But it's like releasing tax records.
I think the issue is just more pressing with the mccain cancer issue, and more so because his replacement (palin) is considered by so many (republican and dem alike) to be uniquely ill-prepared for the job.
Republicans just prefer a policy of secrecy for secrecy's sake. They don't want to provide any information about anything at all unless they absolutely have to. Following the Bush era pattern.
BTW, did Palin ever release her tax records?
Uh ,for your information, McCrazy's medical records had NO numbers on the pages! Why do you think they were presented that way?The answer is really simple,because if the pages aren't numbered, a whole bunch of medical info can be left out! You got that,nit-wit?
On November the 5th, no one will care.
Yep, I don't give a sh*t about her medical records right now.
The sooner Nov 4 gets here , the better.
Who cares if she has some hidden medical condition? If we assume that McCain wins the election, and she subsequently falls over dead, then McCain proposes a new VP, and this one would actually get vetted by the Senate. While it might be a sad scenario for the Palin family, how is it bad for the nation?
i doubt she has a serious medical condition. but it could be embarrassing if it turns out that she had an abortion back when she was a young hottie on campus. I could be embarrassing if it turns out she's been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. It could even be embarrassing if the date of one of her deliveries suggests she got pregnant out of wedlock. The last thing you would ever expect from a christian repub is hypocrisy. so i don't thing she has anything to be afraid of in releasing her records.
It's not palin i'm worried about, it's the cancer that mccain has been diagnosed with. There is concern in the medical community about his life expectancy. I believe the american public deserve to know what's going on.
It has already been determined that she got prego out of wedlock.
link, please.
i doubt she has a serious medical condition. but it could be embarrassing if it turns out that she had an abortion back when she was a young hottie on campus.
And why do you feel compelled to simply embarrass her? Is there some reason you want to stoop to Rovian tactics?
Discovery is a pretty decent punishment for hypocrisy.
Because I don't want some girl lying about her past trying to determine my future. Hypocrites need to be stopped from pushing their fake morals on other people. Bottom Line.
Would it surprise anyone to find out she had a severe mental-related problem? Her grasp on reality is something we all need to question, especially after these last 8 years. That is probably something she is hiding because she knows it would disqualify her. Every time she opens her mouth it becomes more obvious that she isn't playing with a full deck of cards. It is only right that the American people know how many she is short!
This is about the least important hysteria over Palin.
Yes, there's probably something there she doesn't want known whether it's an abortion at some point or some other issue she would prefer to remain private. Maybe they're just doing it to go along with McCain's decision.
In any case, this one is just a bit too much on the lurid side.
Have Obama and Biden released medical records? I really don't know although I though I heard somewhere Obama had released partial information.
There are a lot of possibilities here...and it's always interesting to speculate:
Why hide records?
Drugs/Alcohol abuse. She's admitted to smoking pot, but there could be more there.
Sex/STD/sexual history.
Other long-term condition.
Mental health.
Perhaps by hiding her records, she is just following the same secrecy behavior that McCain exhibited, thus validating his weird refusal to let people see his medical history. My money's on this...they don't want to bring extra attention to McCain's health. Although, she has been a pot o' gold for scandals...
Well, for one, it may prove or disprove that new baby of hers is really hers or fathered by someone else?
Well, for one, it may prove or disprove that new baby of hers is really hers or fathered by someone else?
And why would that make any difference with respect to her qualifications for being VP?
When a major political candidate waves the "integrity" flag as their party banner, it's appropriate to evaluate the truth of their public statements. If they're false, they need to be exposed for the lie.
I don't care if Trig is really her grandkid, just like I didn't care if Clinton got a hummer. Just don't lie about it.
It'd be interesting if anything cosmetic was done
Maybe I am crazy but I believe that Trig is NOT her kid. Her daughter apparently "disappeared" for months just before Trig was born, and many who saw Palin just before the baby appeared said she did NOT appear to be pregnant. I think her little slut daughter got pregnant then, and Mommy is covering it up...after all, she is so self-righteous....................and a review of her medical records will surely show this to be the case.
He is a very precious little boy. Cute as a button. But Palin just doesn't look like she has bonded with him. It's her posture/body language when she's carrying him around. Not natural, stiff. It kind of looks like he's been rented for show and tell. I say this because I regularly see Gypsy women here in Europe carrying around borrowed babies which are used as props for their begging act and you can just tell that that baby was not delivered by that "mother". I get the same impression of Palin with Trigg.
Maybe she is an alien from the planet Xenu
Vestigial tail.
Perhaps, altso, over-there-then, dontcha know, yeah, okee?

Her medical records would either show pre-natal visits to her OB/GYN during her last pregnancy, or they would show an interesting LACK of pre-natal appointments, raising the spectre that she lied about being pregnant.
No easy comeback for the latter, but it would put a BIG question to rest...and it has me wondering why they are avoiding the release and review.
Isn't Bristol Palin supposed to be pregnant or something?
Nutty bitch conveniently didn't mention any results from her psychiatric exams.
I doubt that she is the mother of Trig. I'd like to have someone do a dna test and find out the truth.
Oh, and another thing:
From this point on, no Republicant has any privacy. They can view my medical records, without me even knowing it, under their bullshit PATRIOT Act, they've illegally tapped our phones, they've been subjecting us to all kinds of surveillance. Therefore, if you are a Republicant, you get no privacy. If it were someone else, I would say, "Medical records are private." But fuck them. They get no privacy, since they don't want me to have any.
Every other candidate's lives and past "associations" must be an open book but not theirs! Imperial Presidency anyone?
Hey, don't get on MY case, she's the one who isn't releasing her Med Recs.
I just spat iced tea on my keyboard...
It all makes sense now.
She is a pathological liar/fraud, as are her whole Republican gangsters. She is lying about the Trig pregnancy-no doubt.
Just wonderin'
Maybe I am crazy but... New

Equine parthogenesis?
SHE'S A MAN BABY!
She's had an abortion. I'd bet my life on it. THAT question I'm SURE was asked. She was vetted by the right wing leaders. When she said yes...they squelched her health records and hoped it wouldn't become an issue.
What is becoming obvious at this point is that this woman probably had an abortion in her teens when it was not "convenient" for her and her beauty queen quest.
Why any self-proclaimed "healthy person" would hide her medical records from the public is beyond me. All it does is draw attention to the fact that she may be hiding something.
Let's speculate as to what this woman may, in fact, be hiding:
1)Why she actually "hid" her Trig pregnancy from her own family perhaps?
2)Maybe an abortion when it was "inconvenient" for a beauty queen to be prego? (This, obviously, would not fit well with her evangelical meme and message.)
3) The real parentage of this child. I don't know how and where the rumor began to swirl around Trig's pedigree but I believe it came from Wasilla, Alaska. Let's face it: our kids know things and it may have come from peers of her daughter.
**In the final analysis, who really cares about Sarah Palin, her health, or anything about her for that matter?? She's totally OVER with the american people and each day proves to each of us how pathetically ignorant and unfit for the job she is.
The Repturds would like nothing more than for this to become "big news" - I've got a real news flash for them: Simplistic Sarah is small town, small news, and an embarrassing triviality at this point.
Middle America just wants this beauty-queen wannabe to hit the road and head back to the Tundra so she can get cozy again with her "Anti-US secessionist pals".
2)Maybe an abortion when it was "inconvenient" for a beauty queen to be prego?
__________________________________________________________________
A scantily clad beauty queen pouring jars of Prego over herself as she writes on stage?
When did they start allowing performance art in the talent portion?
Remember when the new gov of NY came right out and admitted some kind of sexual indiscretion - even before the press got a hold of it?
that's the difference: nothing about out of wedlock pregnancy or abortion or whatever would be necessarily a problem - unless you are shown to be a hypocrite. Same way with these gay-bashing homosexuals (sen craig, etc.). It's not the behavior that's the issue, it's the hypocrisy.
No matter how petty this intrusiveness seems it is vital to expose the loathsome hypocrisy regularly practiced and imposed on everyone by the conservatives is the point.
Being a rabid anti-choice candidate, if Sarah Palin is on birth control pills right now, that wouldn't look good to her rabid base, would it?
Of course, there could be something else, like no record of her most recent pregnancy.
Whoopsie!
um-'Trig' isn't hers.
....Or isn't Todd's
Maybe she has had an abortion in her past.
The question of whether or not Trig is her son or grandson is important, because it shows terrible judgment either way.
If Trig IS her son, then by her own admission Sarah Palin exposed him to extreme danger when she flew back to Alaska from Texas after her water broke.
If Trig is NOT her son, then the flying-back-to-Alaska story is moot, and we instead have a woman willing to fake her own pregnancy to cover up for one of her daughter's two teen pregnancies.
The question of whether or not Trig is Sarah Palin's son can be easily put to rest by the appropriate medical records, or even by any incontrovertible photographic evidence of her pregnancy with Trig, such as a well-known public appearance during which she is obviously pregnant.
The fact that she has not put this issue to rest by such simple means needlessly prolongs the story, and begs the question of whether she CAN in fact produce such evidence.
What may also be occurring is that in not releasing her medical records to the public, they are hoping that it sets the precedent so McCain will not be called on to release his medical records - ALL OF THEM - Not only the physical records but the mental health records as well.
We know he was diagnosed with PTSD in his exit interview from the military. There is no doubt that since this man couldn't be in the same room with someone jangling his keys without going bonkers, his psychiatric records have to be even greater than the 1200 pages of his physical health.
I don't care much about Palins med records...I wanna see McSpains!
But her voice makes my ears bleed!
... fundamental honesty ring any bells?
Even McCain's melanoma is not an issue, short of 'Hey, John, you're lucky if you make it to January 22, 2009."
But Palin's dodging the question is just plain odd. How does she expect to encourage teenage/unwed mothers to come forward, admit their circumstances to their parents, carry their babies to term when
she's being cagey about her own information?
Of course, the conservatives been telling us for eight years running that we have nothing to fear if we've done nothing wrong, but suddenly, it's a question of privacy.
As for the Trig-is-Bristol's-Kid story, there's no merit there unless Bristol has a mysterious miscarriage and never delivers. Or if the Enquirer turns up paternity test results showing Levi and Bristol aren't the mommy/daddy. Otherwise, if it were to 'protect' Bristol, the whole thing about her being unwed, the whole 'rehabilitation' of Levi, etc. wouldn't have been made public.
i've seen/heared chatter that maybe sarah palin has beed treated for depression/anxiety with
prescribed medication. regardless, it seems reasonable for her medical records to be reviewed.
it's common for government positions to have a physical exam and have medical records reviewed
in the process.
Well, if she released her medical records, it might snuff those rumors that Track Palin was conceived out of wedlock because his DOB would be listed along with whether he was premature or not.
I don't personally care -- I know lots of unmarried women who have intentionally had children -- but it's important to her right-wing religious base. And it might explain her strong abstinence-only stand right now.
It has already been determined that she got prego out of wedlock.
Yes, with Todd. But to Roz's point...that doesn't mean it was the only time...and it doesn't mean that she didn't have an abortion.
This gal went to SIX different colleges! I doubt she was practicing abstinence.
Yup
There comes a time in every beauty queen wannabe's life when she recognizes that her time is up. Perhaps at that point she became pregnant and decided to keep the child? We already know that she and Todd grabbed two strangers on the street to pose as "witnesses" for their non-church marriage....so why should anything avante garde surprise any of us?
How many normal people pull people off the street (and one in a wheelchair from the assisted living nearby) to witness their marriage certificate? Not many.
When Barack Obama gave that funny speech at the black tie affair at the Waldorf, he made a sly comment about the media next accusing him of fathering two African-American children IN wedlock. During the same speech, he made some indirect, sarcastic, induendos about Palin. This one could have been something even more subtle about Palin that he would have expected us to pick up on.
That was a crack at McCain. Bush started a rumor when he ran against McCain that McCain had fathered a black child out of wedlock. It's his adopted daughter, BTW.
Particularly now since she's not releasing her medical records.
Medical records will show the frontal lobotomy she had when she was indoctrinated into the pentecostal church.
are Way outa line! Naaaaaaah. More!More!
You're out line!! Your out a line!! You can't handle the truth!!...You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? (oops, wrong movie)
Being Alaskan it must be a severe case of cabin fever.
The fact that she WAS NOT pregnant, and that the new baby is NOT HERS, but the daughter's.
the surprise
s palin did not have the ds baby,
her daughter did.
nothing else is the truth.
She is terribly flawed. From her lack of knowledge to her judgemnt. McCain really stepped in it this time. All the women I know can't stand her. In fact, when she is on T.V. My oldest daughter demands that I change the channel.
Alaskans thought they were voting for miss congeniality.
She became Governor for a couple reasons. First because the previous Governor, Frank Murkowski, was so corrupt that expectations were set very low for Palin. The second reason is that it appears the majority of my fellow Alaskans would rather have a moronic Republican as Governor, than a intelligent Democrat. :(
I'm still not convinced that Trig is her baby.
re: the first comment to this post. Is is agoraphobia? Is it anthropophagy? Is it Alzheimer's disease? Is it...gimme an 'A', gimme a 'B', gimme an 'O R T'? The rest of the word is left as an exercise for the student. Youth wants to know.

Would you name YOUR baby Trig?! LOL!
Now we know what subject Bristol was studying when she got knocked up!
I doubt it. Little Brillo, or whatever it is, looks like she'd be challenged in a 7th grade math class.
Here's why Rev. Wright has been off limits - McCain's "hagee problem" and Palin's "two witch doctor problem".
http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/10/8/12...
It's the audacity of the women that she doesn't have to abide by the rules. Her flippant attitude to the records, hiding something or feels she is above the law. Two bad things for a potential VP.
The suspicion around the waters breaking, and then being allowed to fly to Alaska? On a commercial flight? Aren't there rules about not allowing very pregnant women flying, let alone after their waters have broken.Also a pregnant woman in her 40s would have under gone extensive gyno/obs tests, and no doubt they would have been able to tell her she was going to have a Down's syndrome child. If she didn't have any pre-natal tests, then she is a fool. At least that is what the records would show, a gross neglect on her behalf, or it wouldn't surprise me like mother like daughter, an abortion when she wasn't in the public eye. Journos should be on this like bees to honey. I want this woman shot down in flames and I want it done NOW.
Perhaps a hysterectomy after Piper?
maybe that tanning bed discovered in governor's residence/office was for seasonal depression.
This was posted a month ago but is just making it's way around the internet today. Looks like Palin's connections to voodoo are taking hold.
Anyone that hasn't seen Bernie Sanders questioning Greenspan yesterday is in for a treat. It's something that has needed to be said for a very long time.

Thanks for the link. Another lying, selfish old dolt(country last) that we're paying dearly for trusting.
Perhaps a hysterectomy after Piper? — HDon
I've always been confused by this.
Why isn't it called a hersterectomy?
Because they used to give women hysterectomy's to treat their "hysteria". It was believed that women who were over emotional were guided by their uterus' to be so.
Hysterectomy and hysteria come from the same word which was a Latin procedure to remove the womb of a women to cure her of hysteria, although the Latin word for womb was uterus.
Maybe the women were just panicking because some guy wanted to chop her into bits.
not acceptable to the right especially catholics. she probably thought that she should go on ahead and have it because she's getting old and the risk of another down syndrome baby is higher.
Look - I'm as nosy as anyone, and would LOVE to have a peak at her records - but seriously, when did releasing personal medical records become a requirement for running for president or VP?
Please don't unwittingly defend a woman who would gladly invade the privacy of you and your loved ones personal sexual/reproductive decisions.
I'm not defending her - I'm defending anyone that runs for the office. It isn't right to invade her privacy even if she thinks it's ok to invade ours
We shouldn't know the health of the people we are electing - something which could put the country into some kind of tailspin if someone up and croaks? Especially McCain and Palin.
Sorry, this should be part of the discussion. Not for personal smear stuff, but it is valid for basing a voting decision.
If I were hiring you, I'd love to see your medical records for the very same reason. But, fortunately for you (and all of us), that is an invasion of privacy and is illegal. If you truly think Palin is near death, and that affects your vote - then don't vote for her. I really haven't seen one comment here that truly expresses that concern. The reason people want to see her records are overwhelmingly to find out if either A) she had an abortion or B) the baby is really hers.
would be an issue, given that the focus would be on Gramps'...
when did releasing personal medical records become a requirement for running for president or VP?
When Reagan ran.
His health was a MAJOR campaign issue because of his age.
THAT is why McCain's records have become a problem for him.
We don't need to delve into personal records to know someone is old.
Alaskans thought they were voting for miss congeniality.
Heh...maybe things would have wound up easier for her if she'd been Miss Fellatio.
LOL! Ohhh..I'm gonna burn for that!!
Immediate thought: hmmm - Abortion or Mental Illness. Duh. She would simply join that huge group of Republican hypocrites. But really, "sauce for the gander is sauce for the goose" you know. She wants women to have no right to privacy? Well, then, show us the non-redacted records, you phony.
I find using the word "sauce" in this conversation to be a bit troubling. ; 0 )
There a host of things that Sarita Palin (la santa Palinista) may wish to hide lest her followers are let down, but I feel certain that it will become academic after Nov. 4. In which case defeat might be for her a blessing.
