Terri Schiavo, noted telepath (thanks copygodd) is now a political football. Since she no longer resides in her own head, she probably doesn’t give a shit. The question though is why?
We know the GOP wants to pander to the religious (Christian) hateful. (“This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue.”) But that’s not all.
Yesterday on Larry King, he showed a clip of the Sister of Terrizombie ((c) 2005 MP) holding court with the press to say, “my brother in law is a whoremonger. Give me back my sister so we can be one big happy family, plus a turnip.” Or something. Behind her was an archetypical Mao*Mart shopper, holding a sign.
“RENEGADE JUDGES“
Look who else uses this phrase. More. More. More. More.
Look who their poster boy for a “good” judge is. And look who wants to ramrod a bunch of like-minded kooks.
Do the math.
And just wait to see what comes up in future confirmation hearings.
don’t forget those evil “activist” judges.
you know, the kind who ignored the will of the people and appointed dubya back in 2000.
