.....Kerry was smiling and talking shortly after coming out of the 45-minute procedure. "He joked a little bit and said, 'I hope I didn't reveal any state secrets'" .....

Too bad he didn't injure his vocal chords.

He had a cancerous prostate removed in February 2003 and minor outpatient surgery to remove a wart on his eyelid the following month.

Still no admitting to the Botox?
Who would want a president who shoots poison into his horse face?

These injuries came from flip flopping down the Ketchum Idaho ski slopes and don't mention the botox update he also got. Athletically the guy is uncoordinated, a spaz. GWBush runs, works out daily pumping iron, while Kerry's idea of exercise is a few days of flitting down a ski run or wind surfing. Windsurfing???

Zarins said Kerry was smiling and talking shortly after coming out of the 45-minute procedure. "He joked a little bit and said, 'I hope I didn't reveal any state secrets; but did I mention that I was in Nam?'" Zarins told reporters in a conference call.

He'd best go to the Leahy Clinic for those flip-flop injuries......they specialize in chronic illnesses.

[Liz]

Botox paralyzes nerves but sometimes migrates into other areas. With any luck, it'll slip down into his voice box and paralyze that.

[Liz]

....."and then Kerry flashed his medals pinned to his hospital gown"..........

May his hand be gripped by a pro-Republican professional bodybuilder.

While they were at it, they should have operated on his brain.

[mountaineer]

Kerry entered the hospital wearing a leather bomber jacket bearing his swiftboat platoon's patch from the Vietnam War for luck.

Exploiting the victims of Vietnam again, eh, Pepe le Pew?

[Liz]

They can't operate on something that's non-existent.

[Liz]

Normal blood pressure and low cholesterol suggest Kerry has "a lower than average risk" for heart disease for a man his age, (his doctor) wrote.

Those are the ones that keel over after eating a shrimp cocktail.

[Samwise]

While they were at it, they should have operated on his brain.

Microsurgery has its limits.

[Lady Jag]

Which shoulder is it, the flip-flop shoulder or the Heinz shoulder?

[Fracas]

Let's review the situation. Kerry goes to the doctor for an exam, the doctor gives him the all clear. He takes the blood test home to Teresa. She immediately sees the really REALLY bad reading that tells her he needs prostate screening immediately.

This is a story worthy of Grimm.

Kerry - with access to some of the world's best physicians - goes to the one doctor in all of Boston, NYC or DC who doesn't know the significance of this blood test? I don't theeeeenk so. IIRC, it was an elevated PSA reading. Every person I know would know! (but then I will modestly admit the people I know, including Freepers, are very intelligent).

This was a story designed to make Teresa seem both devoted and a medical expert. I think we have a 'smartest woman in the world' wannabe.

If his medical stats are so good, why doesn't he release them?

WHAT'S HE HIDING?

DID HE LIE ABOUT HIS MEDICAL RECORDS?

DOES BEN VENISTE HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE RECORDS FOR REVIEW BY A SPECIAL PANEL?

WE NEED AN INVESTIGATION!!!

[onyx]

YES, YES, YES.
You have outed their problems.
Incurable arrogance;
unquenchable thirst for power,
feeling of entitlement;
smartest woman wannabe but with "compassion" ---
and
he has plenty to hide:
medical records,
Navy records,
and political associations (criminal doings).
IOWs -- he's the perfect democrat candidate,
and as an "African" born woman,
she can be the 1st African-American First Lady,
provided her gigolo husband and his duplicitous
party can dig-up enough votes to steal the election.

[Liz]

Nice work. The questions Fracas raises are political dynamite.

If (Kerry's) medical stats are so good, why doesn't he release them? WHAT'S HE HIDING? DID HE LIE ABOUT HIS MEDICAL RECORDS?

FReepers need to saturate the media with these questions. Demand to know what Kerry's hiding. Demand to see the medical records.

Let's review the situation. Kerry goes to the doctor for an exam, the doctor gives him the all clear. He takes the blood test home to Teresa. She immediately sees the really REALLY bad reading that tells her he needs prostate screening immediately.......This was a story designed to make Teresa seem both devoted and a medical expert. I think we have a 'smartest woman in the world' wannabe.

OMG, we're being prepped for Another Hitlery in the WH. Quick, somebody ask Teresa if she knows how to bake cookies.
