I know why Jeb is going after Schiavo.
Seeing that John Conyers has captured the imagination of people with his studied demeanor and his dignified walk to the White House to petition the Pretender,they have resurrected the Schiavo case.What they want is something that will be controversial so that the media will push John Conyers and Cindy Sheehan aside. If these two heroes were allowed to present themselves unimpeded to the public, their goose will be cooked faster than it is going to be. That, IMO, is the strategy.

1. Yes, Michael Jackson is over and the DSM is getting attention
their goal is to side track the American people with the continuing soap opera just long enough the the DSM is forgotten. Once it's forgotten it will be very hard to bring back.

4. I don't think...
That this will work. It didn't work the first time, either.

8. Bingo! We have a winner!
Any distraction is better than having the truth exposed to the light of day. They've been praying for the poor girl in Aruba to be discovered, but barring that, resurrecting Schiavo (so to speak) will have to do. And it's Friday -- there could be an embarrasing news dump that needs to be buried too.

3. Or, Jeb is just a plain ordinary sleaze ball politician trying....

5. No, this is pure posturing for the insane fundy base
He's doing this one to position himself for a run in 2008, blushes and protests to the contrary notwithstanding.

He doesn't give a shit about Shiavo or her husband or her nutty parents. Like all Bushes, he only cares about himself and the imperial family.

He's ENTITLED to be president, dammit! It's his TURN!

7. Or it's a revenge and a prelude to find ways to put any of us away forever
The powerful will spin the laws for their own benefit.

But the timing is suspicious and they have the "media" in their pock3t.

9. No, this is a deal he made with Randall Terry to keep one of his
domestic terrorists in training from being re-assigned from some abortion doctor to Jeb.
