re: #141 Lidane

Which one of the jabbering morans in Congress claimed to diagnose Terri Schiavo based on those heavily edited videos? Let’s call him for his opinion on Jahi.

Charlie Pierce’s “Idiot America” is worth the purchase price for the chapter on the Schaivo affair alone. I had completely forgotten how disgusting that entire debacle was.

The jabbering moran in question was Bill Frist, who was at one time a heart surgeon. Rick Santorum visited her bedside and, with the help of his vast medical training and experience, pronounced that she was in a state no different from someone suffering mild cerebral palsy.
