The way he has handled the release of his very limited records, and limited exposure to a few journalists who couldn't take notes is reminiscent of Bush and the 9/11 investigation. The public has every right to full disclosure of his physical and mental health. It's a national security issue, and the danger is NOT giving the public accurate information.

Nothing but little baby steps, couldn't stay in one place at all, a sign of insecurity? Or maybe he wet his pants or took an unscheduled dump?

Nothing but little baby steps, couldn’t stay in one place at all, a sign of insecurity?

Or maybe he wet his pants or took an unscheduled dump?

C'mon, Jackie, McCain's got plenty of manifestly obvious problems. Give us an indication where you get your evidence that is practically dying of cancer. You're as bad as the Republicans if you regurgitate this swill without the facts. Not that this isn't the Interwebtubes. And Palin noticed. Jackie Says:

Look at the link to Jed's video which has a slightly wider look. To me, at least, Palin looked like she was trying her best to NOT react. The young girl to McCain's left I think is a granddaughter. She kind of crooked her mouth but tried not to react otherwise. Several people behind him in the audience looked at each other and started talking. This didn't go unnoticed.
