Good Lord, how stupid can they be.

I am sick of the Schiavo threads but this is emblematic of how depraved the media has become.

Schiavo Case Taking on Political Tone (AP)


WASHINGTON - Terri Schiavo's personal tragedy is taking on a more political tone in Congress, where House Majority Leader Tom DeLay likens the struggle over her fate to attacks on himself, and a Democratic critic accuses Republicans of opportunism.

"I find it shameful that Mr. DeLay and Republicans have used Ms. Schiavo as their political pawn to kowtow to their conservative base," Rep. Robert Wexler (news, bio, voting record), D-Fla., said Wednesday as House GOP leaders filed court papers in an increasingly desperate attempt to keep the brain-damaged Florida woman alive.

"It's unfortunate that he thinks his situation is like Terri Schiavo's," added Rep. Rahm Emanuel (news, bio, voting record) of Illinois, chairman of the House Democratic campaign committee. "That's a distorted view."

For his part, DeLay cast the debate over Schiavo in religious and political terms at the same time.

"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the visibility of what is going on in America, that Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death," he said in remarks Friday to a conservative group and made public Wednesday.

1. Delay needs to be asked to go to Terri and have a conversation

with her since she is so lucid.

Lucid with a liquid brain.

2. Yeah, but after years of inhaling pesticides, BugBoy probably HEARD her..

.....hopefully his criminal activities will bring him down, but if not, I hope someone can force a mental evaluation. No way in Hell that bastard is sane.

3. Let's be charitable here. Schiavo and DeLay have a lot in

common.

They're both brain dead.

You think it might be his personal experience that is prompting his stand?
