Is Jan Brewer ILL
Crooks and Liars has an article that says an investigative reporter has come across information that Jan Brewer is seriously ill. The reporter says she owes it to the people of AZ to release her medical reports.

He said that she had a full page report and her talking points right in front of her when her mind went blank for 16 seconds but yet she couldn't read or comprehend them. They think she has had a mini stroke or in the throes of senile dementia. What do you all think?

1. She could be Untreatably Mentally Ill
While some mental illness is treatable and those people can serve without problem, some are not and those people shouldn't be in office. Here is an article on Jan Brewer that I find alarming and actually it could be applied to other candidates. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-media-zone/201009/governor-brewers-pregnant-16-seconds-humiliating-fame

4. Is there a State Medical Officer who can rule her unfit for public duty?
Governors have great powers. What if she called out the Arizona National Guard to bomb her opponent's house?

There should be SOME sort of safety mechanism in place.

9. The safety mechanism that should have been in place
is called a Lieutenant Governor. Can't believe there's a state that doesn't have one. (Brewer was previously the Secretary of State)

2. Appears that way to me
Just to be on the safe side, any laws she has signed should immediately be declared void.

Seriously anybody who saw that clip of her little brain fart at the debate would have the same question. It really looked like the hamster had jumped off the treadmill in there.

3. The mentioned the early stages of Alzheimer's
that didn't stop the republicans from nominating Reagan to run his second term. Now it has been revealed that he would be giving a press conference, stop in the middle of a sentence and walk off the stage. The MSM did an injustice to the American people for not reporting the so called absent mindedness of Reagan. To be as far into Alzheimer's as he was in his second term, he had to have shown signs in his first term. another scam perpetuated on the American people by the republicans.

6. With Reagan it didn't much matter, Bush was always in charge anyway.
Reagan was simply the supermodel, complete with adulation.

7. She may have a serious disease..Incurable, in fact.
That happens when the ratio of batshit equals the ratio of insane.. Batshit Insane is the technical terminology, and there is no cure. The treatment is to continue to speak into microphones & to keep running for political office

10. My daughter attended a speech by Brewer this summer
at Girl's State in Tucson. My daughter was shocked when Brewer had to refer to her notes when talking about her family. Can you imagine this woman continuing as chief executive of the state when she can't even remember basic details about her family? She also ripped into one of the girls in the audience who had the temerity to ask a nonsoftball question about SB 1070.

12. I hope Jan Brewer is medically sound and is not
suffering the initial or more advanced symptoms of any debilitating illness.

I also hope she loses in a landslide in November. I understand that to be an uphill climb but her "career" as Arizona's governor has been embarrassing at best.

14. She looks like she is sick.
She has this paperlike skin, like Meg Whitman. They both look bad. Besides having mental problems.

Lots of those tea party candidates are not competent to run for public office.
