<snip>JEFFREY: Well, look, let me say, I'm glad you apprised me of it. And let me tell you, given, if the facts as you have stated them are true, that a hospital took an act to deliberately kill that woman's son...
BEGALA: Pursuant to a law that George W. Bush signed for them so that they could save money, the most avaricious act imaginable.
JEFFREY: Now, do you want me to answer my question?
BEGALA: Yes. I'm dying to hear your answer.
JEFFREY: If a hospital in Texas took a deliberate act intended to kill that woman's son, the people who took that act are murderers. What they did was commit murder.
(CROSSTALK) BEGALA: ... who empowered them to do it, who signed that law, George W. Bush.
JEFFREY: And if George Bush signed a law that empowered hospitals to murder children, he's culpable for it. The people who are enforcing the law in Texas are now culpable for it. The law ought to be changed.
In fact, there's a key principle here. And it was -- it is a deliberate act to kill Terri Schiavo. You can never deliberately take the life of an innocent person. Starving Terri Schiavo to death in Florida today is no different than think a newborn baby from the hospital, locking them in a room and denying that baby food and water.
BEGALA: Or pulling the plug on son Hudson.
(APPLAUSE)
JEFFREY: It is -- it is cold-blooded murder.
