Kerry Releases Navel Records Online- GOP demands appendages and organs too

Who would of thought Medical records would be such a big deal? First it’s Bush and the Left questioning his length of service, and then it’s Kerry and the Right questioning his purple heart "worthiness." I feel sad for the people reading the politics section of the newspaper this week because that’s all the substance they got. Those poor schmucks should be reading blogs like you.

But the real story isn't even about the actual wounds he received; it of course in my biased opinion is how he made these records available to the general public. Honestly now, raise your hand if you have ever read a medical record. Ok, and it not your own? Ah hah, that’s what I thought. But seriously, think about this: Traditionally the records are made available to the press. The press then pours over them like hot maple syrup on pancake hoping to find some embarrassing instances such as a bullet wound in the butt, or a rare toe fungus. Next, the media publishes the highlights and one week later they are off to another mindless subject that has nothing to do with real issue American people want to talk about.

But apart from that rant, now the Kerry website has circumvented the press and allowed the general public to access these records themselves. And what is the end result? Free access to more ammo the Right can use to attack Kerry. Sadly, that's all it is. Because in all reality supporters of Kerry don't care about his disk bulges, sprained ankles, and hemorrhoids... Or do they?
