Will they televise Terri Schiavo's "appearance" before Congress?

Because I would love to laugh at the idiocy of the psychotic republicans when they see that Terri Schiavo is nothing more than a braindead shell kept alive by feeding tubes.

2. Those morons are acting like

She could come before the Senate and give an impassioned speech, maybe quote some scripture, and diagram with pie charts why she should be kept alive.

Rush on his "show" today is trying to say killing Teri is part of the "culture of death" that democrats are trying to foist upon this country that celebrates life. You remember who else is saddled with the "culture of death" label? If you guessed terrorists you are a winner. And it comes full circle.

5. She may be already.

Have you seen her facial expression? It's horrifying.

6. Terri's facial expressions

look like she has severe brain damage with resulting cerebral palsy.

Our society doesn't like to look at nonpretty faces, does it?

We live in a very segregated society, whether you want to believe it or not.

9. "Culture of death"

That pretty much sums up Booosh's war, doesn't it? It's a culture of death.

7. Only if she blinks.

It's truly so very sad that what should be a peaceful time for this woman has become the circus that it is. Shame on Congress.

8. This is an attrocity

I can't believe even these sub-human monsters would make her husband bring her to a hearing. This is a new low, even for them.

10. The film footage we're seeing of her

is very old. She's probably in much, much worse shape today. Judging by one photo (wish I could locate it) where she's shown lying on her bed, her hands, arms, legs, and feet are severely contracted and her whole body is twisted. I doubt she could even sit in a chair.

If, as her parents are saying, she's not in a vegetative state and is fully aware, why haven't they been able to devise some sort of communication system � blinks, hand squeezes, or such � to answer yes or no questions?
