I feel as if we are using selective memory techniques again.... Frist said something along the lines of "I've seen the tape, and as a doctor I can tell you that she is not in a PVS." Again, that is not verbatim.

Anywho, anyone who thinks Dubya has been sober since the 80s needs to visit http://www.thesmokinggun.com/bush/bush.html

No, its not verbatim, which really makes your use of quotes odd and misplaced, as well as just plain incorrect. No idea where that came from, sorry.

My statement still stands: I didn't get the impression that Dr. Frist offered a serious medical diagnosis, and whatever his comments were it is certainly not comparable to writing a detailed book on the subject, as the psychiatrist who never treated President Bush composed.

Most people have no problem distinguishing between the two, and in any event Frist was arguing for a Federal Court review on due process grounds, not for Congress to come to a position on the issue that would supercede the court decision.

That's not selective memory, either for the first time, or 'again' as you suggested - I don't know of another one of my posts where 'we' [as you wrote] were using selective memory, though I can't speak for your posts since I can't remember any of them.

As for Dubya and his sobriety, that's a non sequitur here, as I haven't offered any opinion or belief about that on this thread or elsewhere on FR, making that comment additionally odd and disjointed. I will say that your comments speak volumes for your clarity of thought, though.

Be seeing you.
