These next paragraphs are not aimed at everyone who happens to favor continuing Terri's life, only at those warriors who have sacrificed civility and sober analysis on the altar of emotion and political opportunism.

Their myopia and defensiveness have blossomed into full-blown hysteria, bringing with it an intellectual dishonesty that debases their arguments.

You can find it in the sidewalk diagnoses of countless activists who suddenly wield phony medical expertise, able to coin definitions of "persistent vegetative state" with greater accuracy than doctors.

I really think this is going to blow up in the face of the rethuglicans and the far right wing of the party. At least I hope so.

1. Who is the columnist Maestro?
I don't take the Dallas Rethuglican News anymore, just curious to know who wrote it.

Lemme guess, Mark Davis? (That SCUM asshole. I hate him.)

2. Bingo!!!
I almost felt like writing a message to him to the effect of, "Nice to see your drugs have kicked in and you are back in reality but I am sure you'll start drinking the kool-aid again."

BTW, I don't take that repuke rag either but I wanted to check in with the columnists just to see what is being written about the Schiavo case.

3. He is the WORST writer.
And how he even has that job is beyond me. Here's Mark Davis in a nutshell:

Bring up an issue, gripe about the evil liberals, then smear them two ways to Sunday, THEN gripe that there's no reasonable discourse anymore.

He's a one trick pony. I wrote him emails when he was at the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram and we had a few battles that way. He will NOT listen to reason at ALL. And he has nothing new to say at all.

He's not worth it. And the Ft. Worth ST apparently got tired of him, according to the grapevine. I'm going to enjoy the day the DMN drops him a bit too much. Plus he talks on 820 WBAP, so whatdaya expect? He's a freaking JERK.

4. But at least they got rid of Ruben Navarrette
He is being investigated by the Dallas DA. There is a meeting Wednesday with the editors of the DMN and the DA to discuss ethical and criminal charges against him.
