From the pool report's summary of the medical records, via Mark Halperin of Time: The records document the following major issues that he has faced over the last eight years: cancer (melanomas on his left face, his left arm and his nose); dizziness that was diagnosed as vertigo; blood in the urine, which was diagnosed as caused by an enlarge prostate and bladder/kidney stones;...

i could give a crap that he's healthy. he's too fucking old for the job. if i had to hazard a guess, i'd say the life expectancy of a cancer survivor who'd been in a vietnamese POW camp for 7 years is not 90. more like 75.

its really time for a youth movement.
