When did Terri Schiavo become just 'Terri?'

Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 04:10 PM by 1gobluedem

I find this amazing. Tom DeLay doesn't know the woman but refers to her as 'Terri' as though they hung out together all the time. Is he using her first name deliberately to it sound that way? Suddenly she's no longer Terri Schiavo or Mrs. Schiavo, she's every right-to-lifer's best friend, Terri.

I find that strange.

(edited to correct spelling)

1. She's also become

"Terri Schindler Schiavo" in the last day - a name Terri Schiavo never used.

7. nah ...

He'll form a PAC that his rich friends can contribute to and then he'll funnel the money into paying for trips to Five-star resorts to study the right to death issues.

9. I'd like a congressional investigation

into the links between her husband and steroids. This is so out of control, that only the republicans following Tom Delay's brave leadership can save us. We want our younger generation to be fit and healthy, so they can die in Iraq.

3. Because no one can spell or pronounce "Schiavo".

:)

She might change it to Tilly Gannon any day now.

4. I'm certain that he's doing it on purpose.

He's trying to make everyone relate to her on a more personal level by using her first name.

It's rude and obnoxious, but then, that's Tom DeLay in a nutshell.

8. I'll buy this when the bastard actually goes there for a visit.

Otherwise, I'll take it for what it is, pandering for votes.

10. I'ts branding. Karl Rove told them to develop the brand name, so they can

sell it to the masses. "Terri" is the brand that means "Republican compassion for those who can't help themselves." It also means "Standing up against the Godless Democrats."
