McCain Has Mole Removed

Posted by John Bentley
(CBS)

From CBS News’ John Bentley:

John McCain had a mole removed this morning at his doctor’s office in Phoenix which was discovered during his routine three month check-up. The candidate is sporting a small band-aid on his face but the campaign said doctors are not concerned and that, pending further tests, all indications are that the mole was benign.

McCain has a history of skin cancer, having had four different spots of melanoma removed in the past. It has been six years since the last episode and health records released this spring showed the candidate cancer-free and generally in good health.

*Update: While campaigning in California, McCain told reporters that his dermatologist "took a small little nick from my cheek, as she does regularly, and that will be biopsied just to make sure that everything is fine."

Wearing a small bandage on his right temple, McCain encouraged people to wear sunscreen.

"If you ever have any slight discoloration, please go to your dermatologist or your doctor and get it checked up on," he said.

The article should be entitled:

Mole has McCain removed from it Buttocks!


The mole is quoted as saying "I''ve never felt better without McCain drawing me down. You should get checked for McCains growing on your face."

Why is this newsworthy!! He comes from Arizona the state with the highest skin cancer rate in the nation. He is responsible and gets it checked on a regular basis. Move on to the substance of the issues instead of whether a candidate has a bandaid on his face.

McCain''s doctor released 2,000 pages of his medical records today...or as he called it, "chapter one".

The interesting thing is that you did not see the "mole" before the operation.

Reason being, McCain uses so much makeup to hide the extent of the melenoma problem he has, and to make himself appear younger than he is.

I am still waiting to hear about the large lump that seems to be getting bigger and bigger over his left eyebrow.

If you look closely, you can see under the makeup that it is actually causing his forehead to wrinkle, and there is a large vein on his left temple that seems to be feeding it.

Perhaps the face should be removed from the mole.

What is this tired old man doing here? He has No issues to run on, he has no memory left, has serious mental problems and has Cancer. I doubt he will actually make it all the way to November.

Okay this is just gross and falls into the "we do not care" and "this is utterly meaningless to us" categories.

maybe McBush''s mole will help him to remember that 80 million Americans need better, or simply need, health care coverage that would permit them to have their "moles" checked out?

McCain''s health is a great issue in the election. I have had a lot of experience with cancer within my family. I have lost many family and friends to it. Many have been in remission and then it comes back with a vengeance. I do not wish McCain ill but again his health is a legitimate issue.

"If you ever have any slight discoloration, please go to your dermatologist or your doctor and get it checked up on," he said.

But if you are one of the many who cannot afford a dermatologist, then you''re just SOL, you should have known the Keating 5, or married a rich beeitch, like he did.

How did McSame get a mole on his face? Are the doctors sure it wasn''t a chipmunk? No wonder he''s been so mean and vicious, lately. Imagine that-

Back in February:

MCCAIN: No new taxes. [%u2026]

Q: But under no circumstances would you increase taxes?

MCCAIN: No

Fast forward to July:

"There is nothing that''s off the table. I have my positions, and I''ll articulate them. But nothing''s off the table," McCain said. "I don''t want tax increases. But that doesn''t mean that anything is off the table."


Throw another flip-flop on the mountain.

While the doctors are at it, they should take a biopsy of the mass that is deforming McSame''s left cheek.

So, McCain had to quit using a Frankie Valli song. Earlier, he had to quit using an ABBA song. Before that, he had to quit using a John Mellencamp song. Does this old doddering fool have any clue about simple copyright infringement? This is just another example of how sloppy the ever cancerous John McCain would govern.
