IWRC* Palin's Medical Records; What's the Hold Up?

By GottaLaff

From the Department of What Did We Expect:

Governor Palin's campaign still has not released any information regarding her medical records despite frequent requests from the news media and the campaign's own assertion that they would release this information soon.

On Sunday morning, Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt told ABC News that the campaign had planned to release information on her medical history early this week.

Today is Wednesday.

ABC News has asked every day this week about the status of the release of information and received no updates from the campaign. It is unclear what is holding things up. [...]

Aides suggested privately that there was nothing to hide in the records, but that it was simply taking a while to call doctors and round up the appropriate information to release.

But an entire week?

It was last Wednesday that Governor Palin said she would be "fine" with releasing her records.

She is the only one of the presidential or vice presidential candidates who has not released any health information about herself.

Palin did suggest that releasing her records could be fodder for political attacks of some kind.

We've had plenty of fodder for attacks on her so far, so why should this be different? In fact, IWRC is a virtual grab bag of fodder. Songs could even be written about it: "Hello Muddy, Hello Fodder" comes to mind. I'll spare you any original lyrics.

So now we can all look forward to the usual Friday evening dump... as if nobody will notice, right? Happy Fodder's Day.
