GW was president but Jeb was gov. of that state if I do recall correctly. I am not sure what presidential power GW had but Jeb could have done something this we do know and he did nothing.
Jeb (Killer) Bush actually had state troopers on the way to rescue her and turned them back for some perverse reason. Hey, all the post mortems about the election be damned, I can tell you I heard the air hissing out of the Republicans’ balloon upon the killing of Terri Schiavo. Terri is when the Republicans doomed themselves. I have frequently told family members, if any of you is ever badly injured in Florida or Washington state, get out immediately, they are death states.
