Preview of a series on Terry Schiavo and Bush's "culture of life"

Well, boys and girls, the results from the Terry Schiavo autopsy are in, and it is time to rip George W. Bush and many of the promonent congressional Republicans a new one. In this series I am going to focus on 1) the self-righteous, hypocritical bullshit these people shamelessly displayed, and 2) the ways in which they misused and abused their power.

One thing to keep in mind is that Congress passed a law that applied only to Terry Schiavo in order to keep her alive--after every court that heard the case ruled in favor of Michael Schiavo and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case. I am not going to discuss the issue of whether government in any form should determine whether someone on life support should live or die. That issue is completely irrelevant to this series given that the Republican-controlled Congress decided that the answer to that question is "yes."
