It's fitting that the McCain-Palin campaign ends with a couple of politically motivated pretend nods to transparency.

First Sarah Palin's own personnel board released a report earlier this evening clearing her in the Trooper-Gate investigation. Nice timing.

Now Palin has released a letter from her personal physician proclaiming her to be in good health and fit to serve -- instead of releasing her medical records, which she'd promised to do days ago.

They see fit to do this on the night before the election?

(As a side note, the McCain camp press release is titled "GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN RELEASES MEDICAL HISTORY SUMMARY." But it appears all they released was that letter (.pdf). Over at The Page, that morphs into the headline: "PALIN RELEASES MEDICAL RECORDS." A letter becomes a summary becomes medical records.)
