Skeletor's Health

All the rage the last couple of days has been to beat up John McCain over his medical records. I have read that he'll allow journalists to look at them - but only briefly. What, is he going to wave them at them for just a second and say, "There they are, good bye..."

Then I read this:

Three-time melanoma survivor John McCain appears cancer-free, has a strong heart and is in otherwise general good health, according to eight years of medical records reviewed by The Associated Press... But Mayo internist Dr. John Eckstein, his longtime personal physician, lauded McCain's performance on a heart stress test - sweating it out for 10 minutes when Eckstein routinely sees patients decades younger quit at five or seven minutes. "I think physiologically he is considerably younger than his chronologic age based on his cardiovascular fitness," Eckstein said in an interview Thursday. "I got a call from the cardiologist who said that he had not seen anyone that age exercise for that long in a long time."

That's just great - he's in better shape than me. But he STILL can't raise his arms over his head!

And after all that - how come the pundits are going bonkers over "The Most Important Veep pick in HISTORY!?" (and that would be Tippecanoe and Tyler Too)

UPDATE:
McCain has polyps in his colon, apparently the result of too much speaking from that part of his body. Otherwise, he's in pretty good health. Except the cancer
