Jeb Bush attacks Michael Schiavo
New York Times
Gov. Bush seeks probe of Schiavo husband's actions, prosecutor agreeing to investigate
Reuters wrote:
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush asked a prosecutor on Friday to investigate why Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago and how long it took her husband to call for help. Michael Schiavo called Bush's request for the investigation "an outrage" aimed at deflecting attention from the medical examiner's report, which he said "has shown the Schindlers' claims and governor's position to be untrue."
"It is sickening that the Schindlers and Governor Bush, for their own selfish reasons, want to keep this case going," he said. The Schindlers and their supporters had suggested Terri's collapse resulted from attempted strangulation or abuse. The autopsy found no evidence of abuse or neglect.
"As a result, the cause of her injuries is more in doubt than ever," Bush said in his letter to McCabe. "In light of this new information, I urge you to take a fresh look at this case without any preconceptions as to the outcome." Bush pressed the Florida Legislature to pass a law in 2003 giving him authority to order Terri Schiavo's feeding tube reinserted six days after it was removed. That law was later struck down as unconstitutional.

Is it just me or do the Bush brothers seem to have a bad case of sore looser syndrome?

I was thinking more along the lines of unmitigated meglomania.

Outright pandering.

and the women come out to cut up what remains,
just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
and go to your god like a soldier...

Maybe Dr. Frist will go down to Florida and insist on personally re-doing the autopsy.

What do you expect from someone who talks about getting AIDS from sweat?
Oh well... hey! Did his family ever reimburse the American People for all that Medicare fraud they engaged in years ago?

Unless it involves an election, they have people who take care of it before it ever becomes a problem.

Re: Jeb Bush attacks Michael Schiavo
So, after a few dozen judges find that that Michael Schiavo is blameless in this, will they finally let this poor woman rest in peace?

Doubtful, after the criminal persecution will come the civil litigation.
Then the made for TV movie.

What to take bets who will do the movie? I'm guessing Lifetime.

Re: Jeb Bush attacks Michael Schiavo
Or Oxygen but only if they can put a really anti-male spin on it.
Or Fox News' first attempt at a movie.

Re: Jeb Bush attacks Michael Schiavo
Another bush who has had everything handed to him, which has, like his stupid bother, has artificially inflated his ego where he can't admit he WAS WRONG. (Maybe he thinks God's speaking to him also?). I pity the fool. Hopefully his witch hunt will cause him to suffer politically. 
I think it will 
as it shows his extremism!

There ought to be an investigation into the family. They kept her propped up as a puppet for 15 years for their own entertainment. It's sick.

Nah, their first movie will be a glowing bio-pic of Dear Leader George W. Bush, directed by Senor Spielbergio.

If they really loved her they would have let her rest in peace as God would have wanted. Her parents are sick in the brain and need help!

This is just mindless pandering to the religiosos by politicians who don't actually give a rat's ass.
But amazingly, it keeps working. People buy it. Their capacity for buying it seems inexhaustible.
