He's done this all along. He dislikes press conferences, so instead of putting himself in some slight discomfort, he'd rather we just not know what he's thinking.
Besides, he can't be re-elected, so he only worries about his agenda. Evidently, Terri is not part of that agenda. You are right, he and his advisors are mistaken if they think they can get unwavering support from his party. Given the choice between W's agenda and a wrong I see perpetrated against our Lord, guess who I'll forsake first.
Family press conference with JJ on Fox now!
Remember the cry when Diana died and the Queen said NOTHING for days. Even the papers got on her. And she finally came out of hiding. That's how we feel.
Difference here, though, is many want Terri dead right along with the papers and MSM.
