What's Missing From The Republicans in the Schiavo Case:

Rational Interchange

Tom Delays the arrival of rational thought concerning the Terri Schiavo case by saying things like this: "That Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death for two weeks."

Exactly what part of brain dead does Tom Delay not understand? The only way the words lucid and brain dead belong in the same sentence is if, for instance, someone said "At one time Tom Delay seemed lucid, but now he's obviously brain dead." Now that would make sense.

Here's the whole article.

Things have gotten so strange that you have to laugh. And if you want to make that easier go here where Delay is said to have claimed that Terri Schaivo is so lucid as to be mulling over a run for the House of Representatives in '06 (Can you guess which party? Good guess!).

I don't want you to think that I have no sympathy with Ms. Schiavo or the Schindler's. I can't fathom the hardship this has been on her parents, or for that matter Michael Schiavo. But there comes a time when you have to let go.

If, as these born again Christians believe, that there is a far better world that the good folk go to after this one's through, why wouldn't they be happy that Ms. Schiavo would be going there, instead of being kept in a medically-mandated limbo in hospital hell? I believe that pulling her feeding tube is in fact the humane choice.
