Playing doctor with Sarah Palin

Oct 22, 2008 19:38

Looks like Supersarah will release her medical records, after casually dismissing the notion earlier.

“I’m healthy, happy. I’ve had five kids; that’s going to be in the medical records," Palin bubbled in an interview with Brian Williams. (The Caucus, NYT)

What's weird is the way she refused to release anything substantive before. Another indication that she's just walked in out of a lifelong blinding blizzard. She doesn't read newspapers, or book, or magazines. She probably never heard of the idea of Presidential and Vice presidential candidates disclosing medical records.

It will be interesting to see if any of her doctors made a note of how strange it was for her to have her water break in Dallas, and to fly all the way home to Alaska to have the baby delivered.

Parents sometimes get blase about childbirth after the first three or four kids.

Maybe the answer to her risky behavior will be in the records. Maybe she and her Down Syndrome husband Todd have a tradition of camping out in a clearcut area dotted with diesel-powered oil rigs to welcome their newborns into the world. Maybe Todd chews off the umbilical cord and weaves it into the treads of his snowmobile.

Drill, baby, drill!

And I mean that in the nicest possible way.
