Saint Terri

While her spirit may have left us 15 years ago the final battle over Terri Schiavo's earthly shell may have marked the beginning of the end for the Taliban like theocratic threat to the constitution. As a result I think she should be remembered by progressives as Saint Terri. In death she further weakened George W. Bush and made it clear to all the power grabbing political motivations of Tom DeLay and Bill Frist. When right wingnuts like Neal Boortz think you are out of line and crazy you must really be crazy. That's what happened to DeLay, Frist and Bush and polls indicated that nearly 80% of the American people agreed with Mr. Boortz. While the Bush administration has attempted to distance itself from the debacle DeLay and Frist have continued to dig a deeper hole. So let's hear it for Saint Terri.
