What else could you use to describe the actions of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist in the Terri Schiavo case?
Of course, the actions of Tom DeLay make me affirm again that his biggest pre-Congressional business mistake was not turning his exterminator’s spray wand around and killing one of the country’s biggest political vermin before he ever got into politics.
Dr. Frist showed himself to be clueless about both her particular situation and neurology in general, while DeLay again proved himself clueless about ethics.
Meanwhile, these two and their respective followers in Congress must bear the guilt of extending yet more false hope to Terri’s parents.
But — not only do they bear that guilt, if this is indeed to be a political moment, they must be made to bear that guilt by Congressional Democrats or, better yet, Howard Dean and DNC staff.
Meanwhile, for a good rundown and backgrounder on the Schiavo case, see this post at Obsidian Wings..
