Notth said:Good thing we have Jeb Bush. Otherwise that bastard would have gotten off scot free.
Screw Jeb Bush and the whole Bush clan. As a card-carrying Clinton-hater, I emailed Jebbie and told him that if it was down to him or Hillary in 08, I'd vote for Hillary- and I meant it.
This is nothing but a transparent political attempt to do damage control with conservatives he pissed off by not using force to save Terri... the same kind of force Clinton used to seize Elian Gonzalez in violation of court orders at the time, btw (libs only mind use of force in violation of court orders when the perceived victim- Michael Schiavo, in this case- is a Democrat.)
As for this right-wing Christian stuff, I am neither Christian, nor religious. Conservative on some issues, not all. But there is NO DOUBT that the liberal media fed the public a steady stream of lies, distortions, and bs poll questions on Schiavo- causing the Republican wimps to falsely believe the public supported Michael Schiavo (and they did, but only based on deliberately worded polls and lies meant to confuse) and so allow this woman to be tortured to death in front of her parednts and siblings who LOVED HER and only wanted to CARE FOR HER, may they burn in hell forever for loving her so much. Amen.
The police investigations were shoddy. Michael's timelines are bullshit. Facts are in dispute. And the fates conspired to kill this girl, who was used a a proxy for pro-euthanasia activists, executive vs. legislative turf war, and Democrat vs. Republican partisan warfare- rather than as it should have been handled- with simple humanity, decency and mercy, for, if nothing else, a grieving, loving mother, father, sister and brother.
But, Frankenstein won. And now he announces his NEW BOOK on his beloved Terri- movie to follow! While he still keeps her ashes in the basement and refuses to tell her family where or when she'll be buried- as required by court order. After melting her wedding ring and depriving her family of a lock of her hair, and the right to be with her as she breathed her last breath. But oh... how he loved Terri! Sure, he refused treatment of her urinary tract infections- but that doesn't mean he didn't lover her... does it?
"He said there was no proof she suffered from an eating disorder such as bulimia, which can disrupt the body chemistry with lethal effect. The main piece of evidence cited for an eating disorder - the low levels of potassium in her blood in 1990 - could have been caused by the emergency treatment she received at the time, Thogmartin said."
"Yet medical examiners could not say for certain what caused her sudden 1990 collapse, long thought to have been brought on by an eating disorder."
"He discounted the possibility that she had overdosed on caffeine from drinking large amounts of tea in an effort to keep her weight down."
"In a letter faxed to Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney Bernie McCabe, the governor said Michael Schiavo testified in a 1992 medical malpractice trial that he found his wife collapsed at 5 a.m. on Feb. 25, 1990, and he said in a 2003 television interview that he found her about 4:30 a.m. He called 911 at 5:40 a.m."
"Between 40 and 70 minutes elapsed before the call was made, and I am aware of no explanation for the delay," Bush wrote. "In light of this new information, I urge you to take a fresh look at this case without any preconceptions as to the outcome."
"On Wednesday, Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, said his client didn't wait to call for help and has conceded that he confuses dates and times."
Google: Hammesfahr Board-certified neurologist who spent many hours with her- not the 45 min spent by Crandall- Dr. Death- but a good long time. Read his report- he was slimed by the media- but his report has not been credibly refuted.
Then believe whatever you want. I'll do the same.
But I'm all for sticking a fork in Terri's murderer with this review of her collapse- since there's too many unanswered questions. Her girlfriends tell us she told them she was going to leave Michael the night she collapsed (she was at dinner with them that evening). But husbands don't kill their wives, right?
I know, Laurence, her girlfriends are liars, the nurses are liars... just one look at Michael Schiavo shows that he's the only honest person in this case. Just ask the legally blind county probate judge. So, he confuses dates and times. So, he forgets Teri's wishes for years, then conveniently remembers.
As long as the Republicans lose, life is good!
Peace.
