You can file this one under “You’ve got to be freakin’ kidding me.” The Schiavo case is becoming the story that won’t die, about the woman no one would let die. Via AmericaBlog and FloridaBlues that Florida governor Jeb Bush is looking into having Michael Schiavo investigated by a state attorney.
Gov. Jeb Bush said Thursday he might ask a state attorney to investigate allegations that Terri Schiavo’s husband waited more than an hour to call 911 after her 1990 collapse.
Terri Schiavo’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have previously said their son-in-law waited more than an hour to make the call. An autopsy report released Wednesday didn’t address the allegation.
”There’s some doubt about when she did collapse and how long it took . . . for the 911 call to be made,” Bush said. ”Which I think is worthy of some investigation. I don’t know what form it would take.”
Bush said he might ask Bernie McCabe, state attorney for Pinellas-Pasco, to look into the issue, but that would have to wait until McCabe returned from vacation. Bush said the medical examiner shouldn’t determine if there was a gap.
Well, I guess we have some idea now what legal action the Schindlers said they were considering earlier. Call me crazy, but if there were any serious evidence of the accusation, it seems to me it would have been sussed out 15 years ago. Coming on the heels of the medical examiner’s report, this smells of just another attempt to punish Michael Schiavo for fighting to give his wife what she said she wanted. It’s also another indication of how the GOP is basically owned by the religious right.
Wanna talk to me again about having compassion for these people? Have they worn out any claim to that yet?
They have NO shame.
