Gov. Bush Washes Hands of Schiavo Matter ala P. Pilot

Satire – Has anyone noticed the parallel between the good governor of Florida and the not so good governor of Palestine circa 1 BC? ScrappleFace: “In a symbolic move, designed to show Terri Schiavo’s supporters that he has done all he can do to spare her life, Gov. Jeb Bush today publicly used a disposable moist towlette to ‘wash his hands of the matter.’

‘I find nothing deserving death in this woman, but I’m only the supreme executive of Florida,’ the governor told a crowded news conference. ‘Perhaps if our constitution called for a balance of powers to protect our citizens against judicial abuse, I could do something. But as it stands, she is in the hands of the judges. It’s their job to determine what is truth. If she dies, it’s not my fault.’

In related news, Gov. Bush continued his Easter tradition of pardoning a Florida citizen chosen by a statewide poll of judges. This year’s candidates for pardon were Mrs. Schiavo and burglar who had killed a homeowner during a break-in.

The burglar won in a landslide.” – Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

I hope everone in America undestands that Terri Schiavo did not start dying until her feeding tube was removed. Think about it. Do you think SHE asked it to be removed? On a most basic level she was not in pain until after the tube was removed. Now, only NOW, are they giving her a morphine drip!! Let your heart be your guide and not some justice on a bench with an agenda to fullfil. We’re sure that this won’t end with the death of Mrs. Schiavo, nor should it. This could be the beginning of the end for future yet to be appointed “activist” judges. Don’t be surprised if republican senators restrict filibustering in the next wave of judicial appointments as a reaction to the publicity and politics in this case! — ZZB
