Jeb's Sorry - Michael's Grateful

Today, speaking after attending Easter church services, Florida Governor Jeb Bush told the parents of Terri Schiavo that he can't help Terri. Commenting that he doesn't have the constitutional jurisdiction to violate a court order to have her feeding tube reinserted, he said, "I can't. I would love to, but I can't."

Now maybe I'm just nit-picky, but I can't help being bothered by the statement, "I would love to, but I can't." In a case that is laden with personal opinions, I find it inappropriate for the governor to reveal his stance on the situation at all. A simple "I can't" would suffice, governor.

However, even with my heels firmly planted in the ground with my stance that Michael Schiavo has the right to make this decision, I read this article on Slate that made me think twice.

Additionally, while I was peeking around Slate, I stumbled upon this great collection of political cartoons dealing with the Schiavo case. Enjoy.

Thank God there's only 3 more hours until a new episode of Desperate Housewives.
