ORCHARD PARK, New York (AP) -- Ten years after a firefighter was left brain-damaged and mostly mute during a 1995 roof collapse, he did something that shocked his family and doctors: He perked up.

"I want to talk to my wife," Donald Herbert said out of the blue Saturday. Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than seven years raced to get Linda Herbert on the telephone.

1. i don't get it, are you alleging that.......

her condition and this man's are similar?

[brettdale]

3. Im saying

Some people might use this mans condition to say "well terri could of come out of it" when any sane person knows thats not true.

4. The point wasn't what you are making it...

The point was who has the right to decide a persons intentions and desires. Don't allow the republicans to change the subject.

8. That was the first thing I though when I saw this on the news.

You know it's bound to happen.

2. Terri had no brain to recover with.

This guy did. There's a subtle difference.

5. Funny thing

That's exactly the same difference between the last real american president and the usurper. :-)

6. Oh,please.......

We're still on the "run away bride" bullshit...Terri is old news. Now....to get back to the cold feet fiasco... :sarcasm: :hi:

7. MSNBC did that today...they had a woman on comparing the two.

I forgot her name, the former Red Cross head. I was sick to see them do this, making it sound like Terri S. might have gotten better. Went on for a long time, two. I had to turn it off.

10. Two people

have already brought this up to me today.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. That would be Bernadine Healey ... former head of the ARC, NIH, and

a bunch of other shit ........ Bernadine Healey .... bon vivant, raconteur, opportunist extraordinaire!

19. Liddy Dole? Mrs. Bob Dole?

Let the spinning begin.

One difference, this guy has the ability to tell the RW (or the Left, for that matter) and the meddling corp-whore media to fuck off.

And I sincerely hope he does!

9. Funny thing is no one would refuse surgery based on the premise that

someone somewhere had a miraculous recovery from SOME ailment.

12. You mean there is hope for Bush????? n/t

15. Poor guy.

Just think:

It's 1995, Clinton is President, the economy is strong, we have good relations with our allies, etc, etc

Then you have get injured, only to awaken later and find:

It's 2005, bush is president, the economy is struggling (at best), we're bogged down in Iraq, etc, etc.

Poor guy. I suppose he could be a republican, and might welcome the news, but I still feel sorry for him. It would be kind of interesting to see how he reacts to the Lewinsky debacle, the 2000 & 2004 elections, 9/11, the war on terra, the color coded alert system, and every other horrible and ridiculous event that has happened since his accident.

18. I can't even imagine trying to describe it all

"We spent our entire budget and our children's budget attacking Iraq because ... "

"The president wants to privatize social security because he claims we can't afford it unless less people pay into the system ..."

"Tax cuts for the rich ... "

"Church leaders are concerned that a cartoon of a sponge might be gay ..."

I don't even know where you'd start.

16. forget about whom? (nt)

[SOS]

17. The Republicans tossed Terri Schiavo overboard

the minute they saw the poll numbers. Their media lackeys got the memo.
