Biden and Palin: Release Your Medical Records

Proving he can still write things of some sanity, Andrew Sullivan is calling for Joe Biden to release his medical records.

Biden, who had two brain aneurysms twenty years ago, had them operated on and has not seen a recurrence of them…as far as we know. Not everybody is so lucky.  Three weeks ago, Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones died from a brain aneurysm.

Anyway, my point is that Americans (or, I) would like to know that their potential one day president is fit for the position.  So, I’m with Sullivan: release your medical records, Sen. Biden.  And not “very soon” like Ben Smith reports, but now.  As in…yesterday.  That goes for you too, Gov. Palin.

    I think that Sullivan is trying to make up for his lunacy against Palin (”release the records for the birth of your son”) with a bit of bipartisan lunacy.

    Maybe Andrew Sullivan finally noticed how hypocritical he is and how little sense he actually makes. But no, probably somebody else reminded that to him so now he pretends to sound a bit even-handed.
