Brother Jeb and Tom DeLay needed his presidential presence.
So, off into the wild blue yonder went the Prez in Air Force One to be awakened from his sleep in the middle of the night and sign the bill in his robe in a White House hallway. What drama.
Just how much did this Sunday consortium in D.C. cost us taxpayers?
There was no way they were going to let this opportunity to commandeer the nation's news media and attention slip away. The Republican leadership needed some sort of diversion away from all the screw-ups and disasters of the past four years.
Especially those of Dubya and DeLay (kind of has a ring to it, don't you think?).
The Terri Schiavo situation is not all that unique or unusual. So why make a Federal case out of it? Simple: Florida and Jeb Bush. It's time to start setting up the next brother for the continuation of the Bush dynasty. Eight more years.
Interesting how this came up the day after Congress diverted our attention with the Great Baseball Steroid Inquisition.
Think it's coincidence that this is the second anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq?
These were the very "leaders" who wormed their way into the Senate, House, and White House, by scaring everyone with tales of evil elitist Liberals who advocated big Federal government, were against states' rights, and wanted to peek inside our bedroom windows.
Yet, the most powerful and least trustworthy of elected GOP leaders have turned all those ideals inside out. So what if the Federal courts have ruled repeatedly that this issue is strictly state jurisdiction.
The president (that title really sticks in my craw) made an attempt at giving this entire hullabaloo some credence by stating how Dems and Republicans in Congress had come together to give the Schindlers a chance to save their daughter's life. In typical George W. Bush verbiage, he said, "This is a complex case with serious issues, but in extraordinary circumstances like this, it is wise to always err on the side of life."
That jabberwocky is a classic GWB statement. It states loud and clear that he has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.
Two days later Jeb said essentially the same thing at a press conference where he continued to drag out this situation.
Jeb and DeLay are going to milk this poor woman's plight for every drop of her blood.
Talking about life, George Bush has apparently forgotten about a law he signed as Texas governor which, just days ago, was invoked to remove the life support system of an infant. He has also forgotten about his record number of executions, including the mentally deficient, while governor of Texas, with nary any consideration of commutation.
How about the 100,000 or so Iraqi and Afghan civilians who have been killed by American and Allied bombs and gunfire these past two years?
