Oh, the irony of it....

Just learned about this L.A. Times article at Atrios:

More than 16 years ago, far from the political passions that have defined the Schiavo controversy, the DeLay family endured its own wrenching end-of-life crisis. The man in a coma, kept alive by intravenous lines and a ventilator, was DeLay's father, Charles Ray DeLay.

Then, freshly re-elected to a third term in the House, DeLay waited all but helpless for the verdict of doctors.

It reminds me of the whole Clinton sex scandal, in that the people who shouted loudest for Clinton's impeachment were the very men who had had affairs, or had treated their wives in some deplorable way. I think we can begin to see a pattern with these evil people. Every time they make a big deal about some issue, we need to look a little more closely at THEIR lives.
