Michael Schiavo's side of the story [sicko' barf-ola ALERT]

CLEARWATER, FLA. - Michael Schiavo...has decided to tell his side of the story...

Schiavo invited us to his home in Clearwater, Florida to talk...It’s all in his new book “Terri the Truth.”

Matt Lauer: I guess you could’ve written a book to honor Terri. After reading it, it’s not really the book you wrote. This is a book that in some ways settles some scores, doesn’t it?

Michael Schiavo: Oh yes, it does.

Lauer: You did think about writing that honoring Terri book?

Michael Schiavo: Oh yes, many times. This book does honor Terri in a way. It sets her free. It tells the truth...

Lauer: You were her first date.

Schiavo: Uh-huh.

Lauer: You were her first kiss.

Schiavo: Uh-huh.....

But the medical examiner was skeptical...and could not conclusively determine just what caused her collapse 16 years ago.

Lauer (at Terri Schiavo’s grave site): How often do you come to her grave?

Schiavo: I try to get out here at least two or three times a month. I drive by a lot though.

On this day, approaching the one year anniversary of Terri's death, someone had left a crucifix by her grave, a grave marked with three dates: her birth date, the date of her collapse, and her death, with a final note from Michael: "I kept my promise."

Lauer: Why was it so important to put that in there?

Schiavo: It was from me to her — it had nothing to do with anybody else. It was very important for me.

Lauer: Do you ever come here Michael and wonder how she feels about this promise, so many years afterwards? Do you think it was it as important to her as it was to you?

Schiavo: Definitely, definitely. She's up there praising me right now… and saying thank you.

Sick.

[Always Right]

I am so sure Terri was just so happy to be deprived of food and water and die in such a slow and painful process of dehydration.

[jdm]

Notice the arrogant graphic. "My Turn To Talk." Terri wasn't even able to do that much. What a sicko this guy is.

[Emmett McCarthy]

Is there anything on earth that I could possibly care less about than what this a-hole has to say? I guess that explains why Matt Lauer had to talk to him.

[LucyT]

It sets her free.

It sets Michael Schiavo free.

[XR7]

Notice the Clinton-esque eyes.

[bvw]

"Definitely, definitely!"

Oh man, no lie escapes the lips
but with two tells true to rebuke it!

[CindyDawg]

Too bad. The one's he wants to reach won't buy it.

[Jewels1091]

he HAS no side...except the money.

[hodaka]

Not to sound cold hearted, but I believe that the autopsy proved he was right that she was in a vegatative state with no hope of recovery. I know I would not want to be in her condition and would trust my wife to not let me sufer.

[oilfieldtrash]

I agree with you and support Michael. Authorities claimed she was blind and couldnt see her parents when they claimed she recognized them.

[Nova]

"Notice the Clinton-esque eyes."

My thoughts exactly.

[rock_lobsta]

Kudos to Mr. Insipid, Matt Wauer, for his insightful and hard-hitting questions regarding such a controversial and polarizing story.

"I kept my promise."?i>

Yeah Mike, you said you'd kill her and you did.

[hodaka]

It is obvious that Sean Hannity has lost all objectivity and has a hardon against Michael. He avoids the many negative stories that have come out against Teri's parents like selling the donors list to some Christian fund raising group. He also directed his friend Mark Furman to try to dig up some dirt on Michael to get him convicted of a crime.

[Nova]

Ever wonder how such a caring man, as you perceive him to be, could be as cruel to her parents as he clearly was?

[FairOpinion]

"Monster" PING

He is certainly not human

[jdm]

You are spot on! I see that -- scary.

[Nova]

"Teri's parents...selling the donors list to some Christian fund raising group. He also [Sean Hannity?] directed his friend Mark Furman to try to dig up some dirt on Michael to get him convicted of a crime."
Where did you hear those stories?
