Bush Making Surprise Return To Washington Because Of Schiavo Case
Where did that happen? In Texas.
How did such a horrible situation become legal?
Oh, because in 1999, governor George W. Bush signed a law which allowed hospitals to take patients off of life support—over the objections of the family!
My god, the hypocrisy oozes from the pores of these motherfuckers.

Bush Making Surprise Return To Washington Because Of Schiavo Case
CRAWFORD — President Bush is changing his schedule to return to the White House on Sunday to be in place to sign emergency legislation that would shift the case of a brain-damaged Florida woman to federal courts, the White House said today.So Republicans are all about "states rights" and don't think the federal government should be involved in healthcare issues—unless the American Taliban faction of the right-wingnuts decides that they have a new cause, in this case, Terri Schiavo.
"Everyone recognizes that time is important here," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "This is about defending life."It's about defending life—unless it's a black baby who was taken off life support and allowed to die AGAINST the wishes of the mother earlier this week. In that case, there is no outrage or protest coming from the right-wing noise machine. Absolute silence. Crickets chirping.
