3. Andy Card saying that because Congress got involved then the Pres.
had to get involved. Sure sounds like they are shifling any blame to Congress!!
As I understand it --it was Jeb who talkded with Bush and theN Delay took up the cause

7. If that was the case, he wouldn't have flown back to DC, he would
have had the documents delivered to him in AZ or Texas to sign.

He tried to grandstand by flying to DC for the signing of this all-important bill . . . :puke:

8. Yep "Mission Accomplished"
all over again.

Oops, we didn't make that sign, that wasn't our doing, we never said that. If those Democrats in Congress wouldn't have pushed this issue on the White House, Bush would have been happy to allow the state to make the decision.

Okay, setting sarcasm to the side, since this really has been a gift from God I won't care if the Bush Brothers escape the rising storm of public disapproval so long as DeLay gets swept away. Removing some trash is better than removing none.

9. The president can sign a bill, veto it, or neither. Bush signed
a disgusting bill to interfere with a civil case.

I'm sure the fundies and those who are driving this circus think this is just great. But it is just stupid and sick.

SEMINOLE, Fla. (AP) -- A man was arrested after trying to steal a weapon from a gun shop so he could "take some action and rescue Terri Schiavo," authorities said.

Michael W. Mitchell, of Rockford, Ill., entered Randall's Firearms Inc. in Seminole just before 6 p.m. Thursday with a box cutter and tried to steal a gun, said Marianne Pasha, a spokeswoman for the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.

Mitchell, 20, told deputies he wanted to "take some action and rescue Terri Schiavo" after he visited the Pinellas Park hospice where she lives, Pasha said.

Mitchell was in custody at the Pinellas County jail Friday after a judge set his bail at a total of $120,500 for the four charges of armed robbery, grand theft, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief.

15. This time the Schindler's are going to be laughed out of court.
This is such an abuse of the court system - I could just picture a Circuit Court judge peering down ominously from the bench at Mr. Schindler and saying: "Denied. Now get your bony ass out of my courtroom!"
