Vice presidential candidate had brain surgery in 1988 to repair 2 aneurysms
Newly released medical records from vice presidential candidate Joe Biden do not include the results of any recent brain scans, which some experts consider necessary to assess whether the senator is at risk for a repeat of the brain aneurysms that nearly killed him 20 years ago.
Biden's most recent physical exam in July showed him to be in good health, according to a letter from Dr. John Eisold that the campaign released Monday. The letter from Eisold, who is the attending physician for Congress, described Biden's cardiac capacity as excellent.
But the 49 pages of records the campaign released gave no indication that Biden's doctors sought follow-up tests after the serious aneurysms he suffered in 1988. Medical experts are divided over the need for such precautionary brain scans, but many feel it is the only way to be sure a patient is out of danger.

Oh, this is too easy.
One needs to have a brain for it to be scanned.

Biden has no brain, that’s why there’s no brain report.

He went for a brain scan but they didn’t find anything. The results were negative for brain matter.

One needs to have a brain for it to be scanned. Good news for Biden, because if he had any brain tissue it would immediately mutate into a cancerous tumor.

We all know it would be more like "Eggs Benedict" for brains..

I didn’t know this about Biden.
It sure explains alot doesn’t it?
It also calls into question Obama’s judgement in putting such a person so close to the presidency.
To: COUNTrecount
I feel so secure knowing that a potential VP can be put in suspended animation with a refrigerator magnet on the plate in his skull.

Biden’s basically a good man - Obama and his thuggy friends will try to dump him soon.
