The Terry Schiavo case

[PornoDoggy]

The family doesn't need to say bad things about Terry's husband, JR ... they have plenty of people doing it for them.

I can understand how the family feels that her husband "wants to kill her." My grandmother accused me of killing my mother - but my mother had been dead for six weeks when my brother and I made that decision, even if her body persisted in some of its functions.

I guess my sympathy for her family has been dimishing for a long time, as her brother in particular has become the darling of any number of right wing political groups.

Once again - I don't question the need for the debate. I think the true reason for much of the grandstanding this weekend was exemplified by the leaked memo pointing out what a great political opportunity this was for the Republicans.

Of course, I'm waiting for someone to blame THAT on Dan Rather.
