Joe Scarborough can't spell her name either!
This is from his blog. Read this paragraph and then immediately take your blood pressure and report it online. Me: 162/104


"As you may know, I have spent the last week on my TV and radio show fighting to save the life of Terri Shiavo. Like many opinion givers, lawmakers, and American citizens, I am shocked and saddened by the forced starvation of a young, helpless woman who is being sentence to death simply because she cannot feed herself. Applying this standard, infants, Alzheimers patients, the elderly and infirmed would face a court ordered death."

1. There are sooooooo
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 02:09 PM by ewagner
many flaws in his arguments that it's hard to know where to begin.

From our own experience I 've got to mention that Alzheimer's WILL EVENTUALLY result in PVS....eventually the patient will "forget" how to swallow....

Scarborough is a waste of air.

on edit: bp = 118/66 (beta blockers kicked in :) )

14. My great-uncle
had alzheimer's in his dying years and was on a feeding tube. His wife made the decision to pull the plug since he was up in his years and not getting better (I think similiar to Reagan's condition) and he died in two days. It happens to people all the time. Scarborough is an ass. I used to watch his show but now I don't even bother. I'd rather watch Comedy Central.

2. "sentence to death simply because she cannot feed herself".
Why lie about this sort of thing? How ignorant would you have to be in order to believe this?

16. It's not his spelling
It's because of his reasoning. They're all nuts. Just like the rest of them.

23. Freepers are ALWAYS too lazy to use Spellcheck.....

One of the two traits which always give them away...

The other being their infatuation with, and constant use of, "The Royal We"....

Freepers..a bunch of Illiterate Queens!

4. His logic is fucked.
He must know it.

I'm thinking that the aforementioned groups (infants, etc.) actually have a will to live and that their brains have not liquefied, among other things.

5. 142/80 She should change it to Tilly Smith
in keeping with the Guckert/Gannon tradition since many of 'em can't pronounce it properly either.
You think they'd have reached a consensus after 24/7 coverage for weeks.
:shrug:

19. I thought the same thing
I'm not fluent by any means, but always thought the 'ch' was prounounced like a k, ie Chianti is 'Keeyantee'. Sheeyahvoh would be an acceptable Americanization, but Shyvo makes no sense. Anyway, I hope this trial/drama/whatever it has evolved to will go away soon.

9. And representative Tom Feeney can't pronounce
"heinous". While waxing political about Schaivo on some cable crap-fest, he pronounced it "hi-anus."

12. An open reply to our esteemed member of the Fourth Estate
Dear Mr. Scarboro:

I don't have a very high opinion of your intelligence, so it's difficult to know just how much of your misinformed, pandering demogoguery on the Schiavo case you actually believe. I'll presume the standard amount, which leads me to say:

Shame on you for bearing false witness against your neighbor. What would Jesus say?

Love and kisses,
gratuitous

P.S. What ever happened to Lori Klausitis?

18. Really
Too bad this story couldn't be resserected. I'd love to find out the truth about the story. I'd say he was involved personally. Wouldn't surprise me with how they are.
