Your image is not only in bad taste, it's particularly heinous and misleading given the fact that George W. Bush signed off on the Futile Care Law which empowered spouses with sole discretion to starve their failing spouses in Texas.

It was posted in response to someone posting the original Elian picture where Clinton and Reno ILLEGALLY seized Elian using the ATF to seize him and exile him to CUBA. It has nothing to do with Bush and Texas, but was to show the hypocricy and bad idea it would have been to have the President or his brother to have sent in the cavalry.

Sorry if you do not like the reality of the implied image.

There is no reality to the shot whatsoever.

I realize it was very DRAMATIC the way Reno packed Little Elian off to Cuba during a slump news cycle but the end result was to have George Bush come out in favor of Hillary Clinton style reforms to family court where the "divorcing of parents" is concerned.

In any case, beyond the FACT that Bush himself has empowered the Michael Schiavos of Texas, I think it pretty awful of you to pretend that Reno did anything wrong --ever-- when the GOP itself has gone to great pains to whitewash her image.

In fact, Danforth (who completely vindicated Reno with the release of his report on November 8, 2000 under cover of "Election Crisis" in Florida), has some pretty interesting things to say about this particular crisis in Florida as well.

In the Name of Politics.

How fortunate is the GOP to have Christians like Danforth in the party's stead.
