I wonder if she'll have a couple minutes to spare for the family of the murdered?

Governor Rick Perry will.

Perry ignored his "committee" (whatever it's called) which votes on death penalty cases a week or so before the execution, when it recommended commutation for a criminal, and Perry let him be executed anyway.

You can see the line move down here.

Sarandon and her husband and all the other Hollywood idgits do these stunts for benefit of their own ego, so they can praise themselves and each other for being so compassionate.

Out of the other corner of their mouths, their words of hatred and pejorative lies directed at the President, the Vice-President and the Attorney-General, and conservatives and Christians, while praising Castro and giving Saddam the benefit of the doubt, only prove how self-serving their so-called compassion really is.

What useless flotsam and jetsom they are ... I avoid their 'entertainment' like the plague it is.

The death penalty is not murder; but the act that got the c onvicted there is.

Bush's last 2 years as governor saw 35 and 40 executions respectively. Perry's first year saw 17. After 33 the next year, the count dropped to 24 last year. The first 6 months of this year - only 10. Nine are on the list for the entire rest of the year. (some of those will probably drop out of line, and a few more may be added.)
