In this article, the Columbia Journalism Review cuts through a lot of the faux tears of the politicians pontificating about this sad case. While it refers to the GOP's memo to their base exulting at this "political issue", the article goes on to talk about the Texas Futile Care Law signed by Governor George Bush. This law authorizes institutions - without getting the families okay - to remove devices such as feeding tubes when conditions similar to Ms Schiavo's are reached.
Just when did the President get religion? I thought it was before he was elected Governor.
P.S. My father is rolling over in his grave when he hears Ms Schiavo's name pronounced by the media and others. In Italian, 'ch' is pronounced as 'k'. It's pronounced Skiavo, not Shiavo.
