Annals Of Chutzpah II

"My opponent's touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned. For a guy who's already authored two memoirs, he's not exactly an open book. It's as if somehow the usual rules don't apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that," - John McCain, today.

McCain refuses to allow his medical records to be viewed in full by professionals at length. His running mate, for the first time in modern American history, refuses to hold a press conference, will not release even her college transcript, and refuses to provide any objective record of the birth of Trig Palin. I mean: is McCain kidding?

Since he has put someone totally unqualified to be president in the vice-presidential position, the question of his own medical records has a new and extreme urgency. Were something, God forbid, to happen to him next February or thereafter, we would have to deal with a president Palin. And we are not allowed to access the information that would allow us to judge the likelihood of such a terrifying prospect? Open book? Let's open all of them, shall we?
