A calming message on FOX NEWS...
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures?
By John Gibson

Just to burnish my reputation as a bomb thrower, I think Jeb Bush should give serious thought to storming the Bastille.

By that I mean he should think about telling his cops to go over to Terri Schiavo's hospice, go inside, put her on a gurney and load her into an ambulance. They could take her to a hospital, revive her, and reattach her feeding tube. It wouldn't save Terri exactly; she'd still be in the same rotten shape she was in before they disconnected the feeding tube.

But the point is, the temple of the law is so sacrosanct that an occasional chief executive cannot flaunt it once in a while, sort of drop his drawers on the courthouse steps and moon the judges, as a way to protest the complete disregard courts and judges have shown here, in this case, for facts outside the law.

1. John Gibson is an utter moron
He is trying to make the case that judges are out of control when in reality it is the Executive and Legislative branches of the Federal Government that are really nuts

2. So ... the courts and judges were WRONG for sticking to the law
and not being swayed by facts outside it. We've fallen down the rabbit hole.

5. "facts OUTSIDE the law"!?!?!?
Fuck the fucking fuckers. Why don't we just appoint George Dumbshit king-for-life, then you won't have to worry what's OUTSIDE the law, you can just let him rule by divine right.

Goddamn these Repukes, they're destroying our country.

6. These fuckwits seem to think they can awaken the mob with no consequences.
This is amazingly reckless.

7. I hope Jeb does try it!
That would be delightful. It will help finish off his political prospects for '08. :)

9. Why don't they just begin the process to amend...
the constitution, eliminating the Judiciary, and delegating all authority to the holy executive?
