What "leadership" is there to be shown? I mean outside of storming the hopsice in front of massed media with an axe to grind?
The President and his brother have done all they could.
I also have a strong feeling that Terri Schaivo's death will hurt the Dems very badly in the weeks and months to come. Espcially in '06 and '08.

The US attorney - a Bush employee - could get a court order enforcing the Congressional subpeona. Or a court order for a criminal investigation, or for an investigation of deprivation of federal civil rights (based on allegations that were made to Florida DCF); you're right, the people would support it - unless and until Bush made a national address informing America what's really happening to Terri, (so that the propaganda of the MSM could be dispelled, and the polls turned around).. But Bush isn't enough of a leader to do any of this.
People accuse me of being a long-time "Bush basher." No, I just discovered earlier what other people are only realizing now: that he's not the great courageous leader of Free Republic mythology. Even if the Iraq invasion was brilliant foreign policy, fighting Saddam did not take much courage -because Saddam is, rightly, universally hated. Standing up to George Greer - now THAT would take courage, more than either Bush brother has.
