Not about Terri but the insanity of the religious nuts over this.

She tied the nuts together well and reminded all of Jeb's role.

I was up there in St Petersburg days after the madness as my youngest sister was critically ill in hospital.

Anyone interested should read Charlie Pierce's excellent coverage.

I used to work in the hospice field (on the administrative end). What Jeb! and his idiot brother and their legislative toadies did was nothing short of subverting the constitution and the laws of this state and the country.

to which Jeb! was a true believer...he made the Schiavo affair a personal crusade, even looking into ways to charge the husband with negligence or some such after Terri was finally allowed to die. Jeb! is the "smart" one, the "moderate?" Bull.Shit. to whoever tries to make that case.

He could have easily walked away.

I admire him a great deal.

in the attempted kidnapping of a brain dead woman and attempts to make him a criminal.
The entire madness was unconstitutional.

This is exactly how he will treat the rest of the people in the country if, by some **election miracle**, he bulldozes his way into the White House. And, remember, he has plenty of experience with that.

There is no empathy, no concern, no consideration whatsoever for anyone who stands in the way of his 'big, hairy audacious goals'. Just another arrogant, backbiting, self-entitled Bush, wanting to fool us again.

Thanks, malaise, for never forgetting about this.
