2005-06-17, 1:27 p.m. Bonus double topic today! Why? Because I'm THAT pissed off! I guess good 'ole Jeb down in FLA isn't really happy with the outcome of the Schiavo autopsy, so he is calling for the state prosecutor to investigate the 911 call placed by Terri's husband Michael. I guess he called 911 at 5:40 am, but 12 years later, during a television interview, he said he found her around 4:30am. "Between 40 and 70 minutes elapsed before the call was made, and I am aware of no explanation for the delay," Bush wrote. Well, let me offer up this explaination, you dumb fuck: Do you think that maybe-just MAYBE- after 12 years had gone by, he may not have remembered exactly what time he found her? I know Jeb isn't a medical doctor like the world renouned practitioner Bill Frist, but I would hope that the governor of Florida would realize that if Terri's heart had been stopped for 70 minutes, she pretty much would have been dead. Exactly how much tax payer money is Jeb willing to spend to make someone pay for Terri's death? Shouldn't he be a little more concerned with actually running the state? Also today, democratic senator Dick Durbin is under fire for comparing US treatment of prisoners to that of the Soviets, Nazis, and Pol Pot. Refering to an FBI report detailing the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo, he said, "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings." In response, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said, "I think the senator's remarks are reprehensible. It's a real disservice to our men and women in uniform who adhere to high standards and uphold our values and our laws." |
