re: #4 Sharmuta
Bill Frist really pwned Maher on this issue too, which Maher mentions in this video. You can see it here:
[Video]/hat tip: Killgore
How sad is it that Bill Frist pwns Bill Maher?
Frist was one of the worst offenders in the Terri Schiavo nightmare idiocy — promoting the claim that Schiavo would one day wake up and start chatting again. His role in that case was a prime example of an opportunistic politician exploiting an issue he had no business getting involved in.
