Rudy Will Let Public Check His Checkup

February 15, 2007 -- Rudy Giuliani, a prostate-cancer survivor who fought the disease seven years ago, will have a "comprehensive" physical exam and release the results, his aides said yesterday.
Giuliani and his chief GOP presidential primary rival, John McCain, have both battled cancer in the past seven years, and the Arizona senator recently said he would likely release full medical records in the campaign.
Asked by The Post about the ex-mayor's plans, a Giuliani campaign source said he had an overall checkup in December and got a "clean bill of health" and is cancer-free.
"The mayor will have a comprehensive physical examination, and his doctors will release the results of the examination to the public," said a campaign aide.
It's expected to include Giuliani's PSA levels - which is a blood marker used to determine if there are levels of prostate cancer present. It's unclear when the exam will take place.
Giuliani and McCain are two top-tier presidential candidates who have battled major illnesses.
Giuliani was diagnosed with prostate cancer, the same illness that killed his father, in April 2000, and had radiation treatment.
McCain has had surgery for skin cancer, and has said he is cancer-free and healthy.
Aides to Democrats Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama didn't return calls about whether their candidates will release health records. Aides to Republican Mitt Romney and Democrat John Edwards also didn't respond.
Meanwhile Giuliani's camp said he will stop making lucrative speaking gigs, which have earned him millions in recent years.
But the campaign is evaluating commitments already scheduled.

I wonder if this check-up will include a "values" assessment. I will write myself in as a candidate before I vote for this RINO.

Hillary could show some signs of an STD from Bill. On the other hand, why should we think they have ever really "been together"?

Now Rudy wants us to look up his ass? Apparently a sizable group of people on this forum have been doing exactly that.
