Can anyone imagine the spectacle of congressmen asking Terri questions on live television?

Think that's bad?

How 'bout Sen. Frist doing a physical exam (he eluded to) on her.

Conservatives were rightly concerned about apparent conflicts of interest and the reputation of the Florida judiciary. But Congress acted in righteous indignation, and several GOP leaders said things that they probably shouldn't have.

In hindsight, the whole effort is going to look ill-advised. I can't fault them for trying, but it's hard to see how this will be to their benefit. Whether or not they ever voted Republican in the first place, we have people here swearing they'll never vote Republican again because the GOP failed to save Terri.

It sure didn't attract any moderate or Democrat voters.

It's a FUBAR and the only consolation for party loyalists is that the elections are too far away to be affected, simply because people forget.
