DeLay DeWimp
That does it - the Republican leadership in Congress has officially lost its mind.
Let's review. Every doctor who has examined Terri Schiavo in person says that she is in a persistent vegetative state and cannot possibly recover. Every court that has ever considered her case has sided with her husband, who is her legal guardian and heard her say, in the presence of witnesses, that she did not want to be kept alive by mechanical means. Despite the fact that he's moved on with his life and found someone new to love, he remains so devoted to his wife that he's turned down a fortune for the sake of obeying her wishes. Every poll ever taken has shown that the American people are on his side.
Her poor parents - they've been holding onto a hopeless dream of watching their daughter wake up for ten years, people. They're so deluded by hope that they've spent ten years and God knows how much money convincing a bunch of politicians to interfere with the American legal system for the sake of their broken hearts.
Politicians. They're relying on politicians. I'm so devastated by their desperation I'm nearly in tears.
So now that the Supreme Court has turned them down again, and the President's brother has had his bid to grab custody of Terri Schiavo from her husband has been slapped down, and all the various Republican political power grabs have been cut off, Tom DeLay - one of the most powerful men in the world, who is about to get his head handed to him because, at best, his political hatchet men broke the law - Tom DeLay, who has done his best for years to destroy any opposition to his policies - Tom DeLay wants us all to think that he's as much a victim as Terri Schiavo.
Understand this, folks. Terri Schiavo, whether she ever recovers or not, has been lying in bed for ten years while a horde of strangers and her own parents have used her dying body as a political, religious and spiritual punching bag. Tom DeLay has used his political power to let a bunch of crooks circumvent campaign finance laws, making themselves and him more rich and powerful every day. And DeLay is drawing comparisons between them.
Yep, it's official, the Republican Congressional leadership has lost it. Lost whatever pittance was left of its dignity, its credence. This country is in the hands of a bunch of thugs.
