I agree with Howard Dean...his comments about TS...
I would like to thank Larkspur who posted this in another thread.

From a Nov. 2003 question, Dean comments on Shiavo case

Dean 'Appalled' That Florida Lawmakers Saved Schiavo

Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean, who begins his campaign website greeting with the phrase, "As a medical doctor...," claims Florida Republicans should be "embarrassed" for intervening to save the life of Terri Schindler Schiavo last month. Earlier in the year, Dean publicly expressed his support for physician-assisted suicide.

Dean accused Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Republican state lawmakers of interfering in a "private matter" when they passed "Terri's Law," which allowed Bush to have the 39-year-old disabled woman's feeding tube reconnected after it was removed under court order at her husband's request. The former Vermont governor said he was "appalled" by Bush's intervention.

Terri suffered a brain injury in 1990 under questionable circumstances that left her severely disabled. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, his brother and another brother's wife claim Terri verbally expressed her desire not to be kept alive "artificially" should she ever require life support. Terri's parents and siblings, along with her former co-workers, friends, priests and fellow church members dispute that claim.

"I'm tired of people in the legislature thinking that they have an M.D. when what they really have is a B.S.," the Miami Herald quoted Dean as telling about 200 business and community leaders at the Capital Tiger Bay Club in Tallahassee Tuesday.

1. Could they spin this story any farther?
Whoever authored this should try out for the Globetrotters.

4. Go figure
The best line: <"I'm tired of people in the legislature thinking that they have an M.D. when what they really have is a B.S.,">

I'm glad to hear about this from Dean though since he is a doctor and all that. He knows about this. Everybody who voted for this should be shamed.

I really like the way he stood and spoke out. I know he is avoiding the national spotlight now, but we could use his voice.
