What did Stepford Wife have to say about Federal government intervention
on the Schaivo Case? I heard that she defended it, I didn't hear the particulars though.

1. Oh yeah...
Of course she did.

MILDENHALL, England (AP) -- First lady Laura Bush said Tuesday the government was right to have intervened in the case of Terri Schiavo, a severely brain-damaged Florida woman whose case has stirred national debate about life and death issues.

"I just feel like the federal government has to be involved," Mrs. Bush said. "It is a life issue that really does require government to be involved."

5. Your report was better than mine
but Pickles really didn't say any substantive, did she? She sounds like her worst half!

And now she's spreading liberation to Afghani women? Ho boy...

6. Where the fuck was she
in the 90's when we begged for them to get "involved" with helping the women in Afghanistan?

7. She never really says anything substantive
but then again - not many people around GWB do.

3. From NBC Dallas
http://www.nbc5i.com/news/4326195/detail.html

**Earlier Tuesday, first lady Laura Bush said the government was right to have intervened in the Terri Schiavo case.

Mrs. Bush calls the dispute over the removal of a brain-damaged Florida woman's feeding tube "a life issue that really does require government to be involved."

But the first lady said she's sorry for the family that it has to be so public because, as she put it, it's "such a very, very difficult time for them and for everyone who watches Terri."

Bush said she has been encouraged to hear that the case has prompted more people to inquire about living wills. The first lady spoke with reporters about the Schiavo case while en route to Afghanistan.**

4. She didn't really SAY anything. She's the queen of the non-answer.
