RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Michael Schiavo, who was at the center of a passionate national end-of-life debate when his brain-damaged wife, Terri, died in March, endorsed Democrat Tim Kaine for governor Wednesday.

"I have seen firsthand what can happen when a governor disagrees with a single citizen. In Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush abused the power of his office in an attempt to replace my personal family decisions with his own opinions and political grandstanding," Schiavo wrote a six-paragraph statement distributed by a Democratic political consulting firm in Miami.

Conservatives vilified Schiavo for ordering the removal of the feeding tube that had sustained his wife for 15 years. In the resulting legal and ideological conflict, Congress, Jeb Bush and his brother, President Bush, all sought to have the tube reinserted.

Michael Schiavo, who was at the center of a passionate national end-of-life debate when his brain-damaged wife, Terri, died in March, endorsed Democrat Tim Kaine for governor Wednesday.

Now what is it the RINOs keep telling us about the right-to-kill being the corner stone of Republican ideology?

[MonroeDNA]

Any one who endorses a guy who wants his wife to die after only 15 years as a vegetable is insane.

the reporter must have been desperate for a story...

[veronica]

Michael Schiavo, operative for the Democratic party. Gee I'm so shocked. Not. Wonder what all his defenders here, and among the internut clowns, will say about him now?? When will he join forces with Mother Sheehan?

[veronica]

This is truly bizarre.

Not really. The lounge lizard is empowered now. He's a mover and a shaker. Don't be surprised if he announces he is running for some office or another at some point...

Babs Streisand, George Clooney, Al Franken, Michael Moore, Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Hillary Clinton have also just endorsed Kaine!!

wow. this is a real "with friends like this, who needs enemies?"

wonder if he's ready to endorse jim king (please, please) ... fun to imagine that scenario and how it would showcase king's legacy of death.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Wahhh! He always looks like he's been crying in that picture! Give me an ever-lovin break!

You highlighted the right words. Mikey shows once and for all that it wasn't Terri's choice, but his.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Yeah, c'mon Mike...tell us how great Jim King is!!!

[TheSpottedOwl]

Why is he endorsing a political candidate for the state of Virginia? Guess he's missing all the attention.

That pic is positively bizarre. He looks like a mortician did his makeup.

Thanks for the ping, 8mm.

[Ohioan from Florida]

"He looks like a mortician did his makeup."

LOL! Haven't you noticed that look of death on Mikey and Felos before? That's how death-lovers look! Mortician did his make-up...I'm still laughing! :-)

[8mmMauser]

Michael cannot erase the look in those beady eyes. I wonder if he has dreams of teaming up with Cindy She-man. That would make a couple from hell.

I keep reminding myself this unfolding is no cheap grade b movie by Ed Wood, but is real.

All's Kaine needs now is that endorsement from Al Gore and he'll be a shoe-in! (lol)

[TheSpottedOwl]

Yes I have noticed. They should take advantage of that Florida sun. They look like they live in boxes ;-)

[TheSpottedOwl]

From that angle, his eyes look glassy. Igor the stylist should have laid off the red eyeliner though.

[floriduh voter]

It was always ABOUT HIM. That's why every time he was interviewed by LARRY KING ALIVE, he changed his story. It was HIS STORY(s).

Lucky for him that our judges in Florida are ALSO LYING SKUNKS and WOMEN HATERS.

YOU CAN BUMP OFF YOUR SPOUSE OR FAMILY MEMBER IN THE SOUTH, not just in Florida, THANKS TO CRUDS LIKE THIS PHONY HUSBAND IN NAME ONLY. I guess he wants to spread the death cult to Virginia, going up the eastern seaboard as I predicted some time ago. Wonder how much feloser is paying him to endorse the Virginia candidate.
