Here is a thought that I hope will be considered even by those who agree that Jeb and W have done all that they could within the law.

Michael Schiavo last week invited both the President and the Governor to visit his wife. I think they should go.

And bring her water.

Some argue that the Governor would be dangerously disrupting the balance of powers between the branches of government if he took executive action. Arresting him for bringing water would be such a breech as well, but it would be by those serving the court.

Fifty have already been arrested trying to bring Terri water. Go, Mr President. Go, Governor. Bring her water.

As a person who campaigned passionately for G.W.Bush last year and very recently lived under J.Bush's governorship in Florida (for 4 yrs), I am finding it difficult forming an opinion. I don't know what to think. Maybe they flinched. I'm not too happy with the results thus far. Anyway, I just want to see Terri come out of this ok.

Phat,

You might be right. I hadn't heard that. But, is it possible that the Bushs think themselves as lightening rods for negative media coverage and therefore negative public opinion, and so maybe they though it best for Terri to stay away.

Politically, Plat, I have you on my side. I also have on my side the rest of my detractors in this thread- i.e. you guys want Terri saved. Therefore, since I have you, the politically smart thing to do, is to go out and get the people I don't have- And how to I do that- By getting their leaders, Jackson, Lieberman, Harkin, Nader. et.al to show up at the hospice, not me.

God Bless

Hey Plat,

I'm sorry, I didn't mention yout water idea, But, I would think he would be pretty cool if people all over the nation started sending cases of water either to the hospice or Greer.

Think this through. If they had gone, at michael s's "invitation" and gave Terri ONE drink of water - which would do nothing for her - she needs total rehydration - and her mouth/tongue are too swollen and dry to drink by mouth - Thin of the uproar - grandstanding, political gain at the expense of a dying woman, etc etc.

Those that were arresesd "trying to bring her water" knew full well they wouldn't get thru - it was to make a statement. did it help Terri?

They didn't fall for michael s'c BS any more than Pres Bush gushed and slathered praise on Arafat - (Clinton had Arafat at the white house more than any other head of state - lot's of grandstanding in hopes of a Nobel.)
