Is Hillary helping to deflect attention away from the release of McCain's medical records?

They are vodka shot buddies, after all.

And why today? At the start of a holiday weekend? I find the timing rather curious, given that the Friday news dump was supposed to be about parsing the limited release of Grandpa's medical records.

2. Not the cable news stations.
They seem to be a Johnny One-Note anymore. They grab a story and beat it to death. You'd think that McCain's records would be of more interest.

4. His medical records have been redacted.
And they say nothing about his mental state, which is what we should all be worried about anyway.

8. Redacted and shown to a small, selected group of journalists.
That had three hours to parse over 1000 pages.

3 time cancer survivor, though, you'd think would get a bit more attention.

And how his doctors trained Cindy to check grandpa for melanoma.

12. I probably should have added
:sarcasm:

A 71 year old man with multiple melanomas is running for president. Yeah, his medical records should be of great interest.

10. I hope she doesn't think she will retain her senate seat.
RFKjr would make a great senator for NY. ;)

Haven't got my rebate check yet, so maybe she can float a few bucks...my...way...wait...forget it. She's having enough problems paying the bills.
