Give me a fucking break.

Florida Governor Jeb Bush wants Michael Schiavo investigated for delay in 911 call [OrlandoSentinel.com]

Come on. Seriously? Can't we leave this man alone? Hasn't he been through enough, having to watch his wife exist as a shell of her former self for 15 years??

So he waited 40 minutes before calling 911. He had no way of knowing how serious Terri's condition was. Obviously, she was breathing and not in imminent danger of death.

What possible benefit does society gain for prosecuting this man? What the hell difference does it make, now, if he should have called 911 a little quicker in 1990?

To the religious right assholes in this country, Michael Schiavo has become the epitome of Lucifer himself. And God forbid an idiot named Bush should miss an opportunity to plaster his lips to the asses of the wack-job religious right ultra-conservatives in this country.

Let's move on, people. The woman has finally been allowed to die and the autopsy results have conclusively proven that she was not capable of conscious thought, that she was blind (and therefore not "looking at her parents"), that there was no shred of evidence that husband ever abused her, and that there is no question the courts made the right decision in letting her die with some small amount of dignity.

Jeb Bush, just like his brother, makes me sick. Two days after the autopsy report is released, when it finally looks like this story might be over, he calls for an investigation like this, trying to prolong his love affair with the ultra-religious crazies who ate this case up with a spoon.

It's going to backfire on you Jeb, and on you Mel Martinez, and on Tom DeLay, and on GWB himself. Polls have consistently shown that the majority of the American people sided with Michael Schiavo. Most people understand that the way Terri lived was not a life at all. Most Americans were outraged when Congress stuck its fat head into this case, trampling on our Constitution in their rush to circumvent the judicial branch of government. Republicans, who normally scream for "states rights," gleefully applauded as the federal government shoved Florida's state government to the sidelines.

What a bunch of hypocrites.
