This was important - that Bush felt he had to hedge, and split the difference, suggesting that Michael deserves condolences - - - that's like offering OJ condolences for the killing of Nicole, or Scott Peterson condolences for Laci's murder.

I would not in any way offer condolences to Michael Schiavo for the slow murder that he has brought about. I will let God give to him the justice that he deserves. Vengence is sweet, but it does belong to God.

Yeah, right - schiavo's a victim too: how could Terri not have had the common decency to die after having been beat up 15 years ago, rather than vindictively dragging it out all this time?

You mean that Michael is on the same level as two others who have been convicted (one only in civil court) of cold blooded murder?

You'll excuse me if I don't go down that road. President Bush is the leader of a nation. I have absolutely no doubt as to his moral character, his ability to stand up as a leader. At times I disagree with him, but I don't bash him over the head for it.
