Well,
there is humor in all this, somehow – as in this from Whiskey Bar - A
real news clip - Gov.
Jeb Bush said today his social services agency may step in to have her feeding tube reinstated. In an extraordinary move,
Bush said the Department of Children and Families has filed a legal motion alleging "30 detailed allegations of abuse, neglect
or exploitation" that have occurred during Schiavo's stay at a Pinellas Park hospice. Orlando Sentinel The
imagined ones - His
legal options quickly running out, Florida Governor Jeb Bush today asked a state court to classify Terri Schiavo as "abandoned
property," allowing the state to seize control of the brain-damaged woman under the law of eminent domain. Lawyers called
the maneuver "unusual." Miami Herald Rebuffed
in his previous attempts to gain control of Terri Schiavo, Governor Bush today asked the Florida Supreme Court to define the
brain-damaged patient as a "dangerous animal," giving Pinellas County animal control officers the right to take her into protective
custody. Legal analysts called the move "a cheap political stunt." Associated
Press In
a last-ditch bid to save Terri Schiavo, lawyers for Governor Jeb Bush today asked the U.S. Supreme Court to declare the brain-damaged
woman a "regulated public utility," saying this would authorize the Florida Power Commission to order the restoration of vital
services, such as her feeding tube. Constitutional scholars called the petition "a outrageous abuse of the American legal
system." Washington Post Three
days after the death of Terri Schiavo, Florida Governor Jeb Bush asked the International Court of Justice at The Hague to
declare the brain-damaged woman the "New Messiah," claiming the move would clear the way for Schiavo's resurrection and thousand-year
reign on earth. Mental health experts said Bush "appears to be having a psychotic episode." New York Times Hey,
stranger things have happened, and are happening. And
