PINELLAS PARK, Fla. -- Congressional leaders hoped a deal reached Saturday would clear the way for a brain-damaged woman to resume being fed while a federal court reviews the right-to-die battle between her parents and her husband.

President Bush changed his schedule to return to Washington from his Texas ranch on Sunday to be on hand to sign the legislation.

"Everyone recognizes that time is important here," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said in announcing the president's plans Saturday evening in Texas. "This is about defending life."

12. Atrios shows the bill Bush signed as governor

allowing doctors and hospitals to "pull the plug", against the wishes of the family, if they felt further treatment was futile.

I wonder if anyone in the MSM will bring this up?

[Kadie]

14. Really? I didn't know that.

I doubt the media will discuss it.

[Chipper Chat]

13. Why in the hell does bush have to return to Awashinredinkinton?

Just let KKKarl (our real president) sign the legislation. The charade is over and everyone knows it. Bush is nothing but a smirking puppet.

[high density]

15. Defending life?

It would be nice to see Repubs show concern about "life" that isn't in the fetus or braindead form...

Ugh this makes me sick.

[durablend]

16. You're not seeing the point...

Fetuses and the braindead essentially have NO dissenting voice...exactly the type of people the RW want to get their agenda rammed through.
