IIRC, that's how Jim Oberstar (MN) pronounced it too in the news conference Saturday, and then he said, "as an Italian, that's how I pronounce it"
If that is correct, I wonder why Michael's lawyer and practically everyone else on TV pronounces it (SHY-voh)
SkeeYAHvo (or maybe skyAHvo, where the 'y' acts as a consonant, not a vowel) IS correct, but since when did correctness have naything to do with what is said by people on TV?
[In Italian SCI would be pronounced like the word "she". The 'h' after the c makes the c hard, so "ski". Then there are few to no diphthongs in Italian, so when you get an "ia" each vowel gets its own value. If the name were Sciavo, then it would be pronounced SHAH-voe. Then the norm in Italian is for the penultimate (next to last) syllable to get the stress. Class dismissed.]
Unlike the non-tragic, non-family issue of abortion, where politics are perfectly welcome and where Federal courts not so much overrule state courts as make states nugatory, with the loud approbation of the Dims.
A bunch of them went to Tallahassee. There are so many cops and they have the place roped off it is very difficult to go there. There is industrial across the street, hardly any place to park, and the news hogs all of that.
Yup. First, though, he practiced on his wife.

I see Gene Wilder turn to the class and admonish "That's FRONK-EN-STEEN"
Isn't Moran the Dem who made anti Semitic comments and got away with it?
The Death Democrats: They Want Terri to Starve: left to right, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fl., Jim Davis, D-Fl., Jim Moran, D-Va., and Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass.
Their concern about states rights is touching isn't it?
They are so deperessed that Terri may live. They have heard enough!
Baghdad Jim, yep.
LOL! Just checking.
Moran is all for the government keeping out of the relationship between a husband and wife...
Wasn't he the one beating his wife?

And Elenor Clift called her "brain dead."
Unfortunately the MSM is spinning it the way the leftists want... That she's a vegatable, who's on life support. When I sent the video link to my best friend (who was supporting the husbands decision), she saw the video of this supposedly "brain dead" vegatable, and immediately called me back, crying and yelling that they're murdering this woman!
But the MSM will not play that video. They may show some stills from it, but playing the video would generate so much opposition to the side the MSM is supporting that they're not about to do it.

I, for one, do not want this case politicized in any election, by either side. There's been enough of that already.
I agree. Whoever was circulating this GOP memo, should get canned.
My fantasy: With her parents' and siblings' loving care and therapy, Terry recovers sufficiently that during the 2006 and 2008 campaigns has a video made of her responsive and talking saying that "Democrat X wanted to kill me considering me a 'useless mouth', but Republican Y and President Bush knew that all life is precious and fought to save my life. The next time it could be you. When you vote for a Democrat you are voting to be starved to death."
Well, Anorexic-Americans and Suicidal-Americans may desert the Republican Party for the Dems. in droves, but anyone else with a heart and soul (who is still a Democrat) will finally have had enough!
Those who disagree........
This time, liberals are having a difficult time concealing their indifference to life. The usual rhetoric about caring about the "people" is dissolving in the face of their actions.
This is what has become such a political dilemma for them. Do they continue to argue with passion that a disabled
woman should just starve to death in front of the nation, or do they conceal their indifference to Terri, and go along?
Liberals are mostly narcisisstic creatures, a condition induced in them as children, by "modern" parents. They acquire an almost pathological fear of personal responsibility and commitment, that extends into adulthood. It is at the root of all their behavior. Hence, their aversion to anything that involves taking action and saving life. After all, what would be a greater example of having to commit, than to accept the responsibility of raising a child or to care for a disabled love one?
No, liberal's lives are about the good times, the rallies, the grand speeches, the approbation of sycophants who admire those who play the false compassion game the best ( The Clintons and their Hollywood friends )-- the "do your own thing" crowd.
Hopefully, the day will come when none of them will be welcome in the company of all those who's lives are guided by concepts of a higher purpose.
"whose" lives..... correction.
Well isn't that so "tolerant" of Moran?
