Michael Schiavo is on Olbermann
He is telling it like it is. How Frist, Santorium, DeLay, Bush and others, spent millions of dollars trying to keep him from letting his wife die.... He talked about how difficult it was to have the congress convene at 1:30 in the AM to interfere in someone's personal life....


He broke down crying... It was so sad.... He said until last year he was a republican...

1. Touching
He seemed genuine and sincere. He stated his case quite well.

I wish him the best. I hope he "gets on" with his life and finds happiness.

3. A brave and articulate person.
What the RW and the Fundie loons did to him was a travesty. I am so glad that he has survived, seemingly intact.

9. What occurred to me when he said that was this:
Bush couldn't be bothered to cut his vacation short while healthy, conscious, able-bodied people were dying in New Orleans. But he could bring a vacation to a grinding halt to sign a bill to stuff a feeding tube back into a woman who knew, saw and felt nothing...all in the name of politics.

5. I think that was the beginning of Bush/Repub troubles.....
The thought of these fuckers horning in on something so personal scared alot of people.

Meanwhile, Texas turned off the venilator of a baby while his mother screamed and cried in protest.......

8. Wait until they begin to "swiftboat" him. I really feel for this man.
You would think that those who call themselves "Christians" would at least apologize for what they did to this man.
