Gov. Bush Says Prosecutor Will Investigate Accusation Of Delayed 911 Call For Schaivo


(TALLAHASSEE, Fla.) -- Gov. Jeb Bush said Friday that a prosecutor has agreed to investigate why Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, citing an alleged time gap between when her husband found her and when he called 911.

Bush said his request for the probe was not meant to suggest wrongdoing by Michael Schiavo.

"It's a significant question that during this ordeal was never brought up," Bush told reporters.

Michael Schiavo's attorney has said his client called for help right away.

1. Prosecutors should investigate charge that GOP=insane vindictive beasts

[ewagner]

2. Spite

that's all it is: Spite

Like a kid who has been reprimanded and has to do something to "get back" at the parent.....

I have never seen a family so full of spite......

[MichiDem]

3. If this was an actual concern

shouldn't it have been investigated, oh say about, 15 years ago?

[AngryOldDem]

50. This case has been looked at

20 different ways to Sunday. And the results are always the same: Michael is in no way culpable, and Jeb should just butt the hell out now. The medical tests showed that there was no "there" there in Terri's head. That settles it.

Let the woman rest in peace. Please.

And if the Schindlers jump on this bandwagon -- as I'm sure they will -- they shoe how "love and devotion" toward a deceased loved one can be used as a cudgel in a never-ending family spat. Shame on them if they do.

[Radio_Lady]

51. Interesting that her body has been cremated, but not yet put --

in its final resting place. I assume that is with the Schiavo family, not the Schindlers.

However, I wouldn't put it past her family to get that matter into court also. The Schindlers give new meaning to the term "being litigious".

5. Isn't there other stuff that should be investigated in Florida?

Why/How were Mohammed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi able to train in a flight school that was linked to Jeb Bush?

How about an investigation of Choicepoint/DBT?

[napi21]

6. Well, I watch Cold Case too, but tHIS is nuts!

Just what are they going to investigate? Michael says he alled right away. If they're lucky, they'll still be able to find the 911 call records. If they find them, and the prove the call was made at XX:XX PM, then what? OH, WAIT! A medium somewhere is going to contact Terri and ask her!

7. what possible good could come out of this?

This is the most vindictive act imaginable. I would guess that chimp or rove is behind this.

10. A Few Million in Donations

From the Fundies!!!

[HarveyBrooks]

49. Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!

He scores a few points with the fundies - which is the only reason bush&co got involved in the first place.

It also has the added bonus of diverting attention from all his big brudders' failures.

8. No Hope for Recovery

[VegasWolf]

9. Sounds like a textbook example of a case for prosecutorial misconduct

and malicious prosecution. Maybe Michael Schiavo will
get even more money from the State Of Fools. If this was
real, it would have been brought forward 8 years ago, not
now after losing all other appeals. What a bunch of crybabies
the Bush's are.

[bushisanidiot]

11. How about someone look into President Shitferbrains delay on 9/11?

the idiot was too busy picking his nose to bother to get up off his ass to do anything!

thousands of americans died while he was telling jokes about bad pilots.

[nolabels]

24. If you believed the official story that would be a good point

Instead of the comedy with the Blues Brothers and their shtick about being on a mission from god, we have these two miscreants in a ugly horror where real people do killed x(

12. Did Bush call for investigating the DEAD INTERN in Scarborough's office?

18. LORIS CASE HERE

Reopen LORI KLAUSUTIS case.


A Death in the Congressman's Office
Does Anybody in the Press Care About Lori Klausutis?
A young female employee of one of Florida's Congressmen had died unexpectedly in the Congressman's office. There were no witnesses to her death and the cause of death was not apparent. Klausutis' boss, Joe Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress prematurely and unexpectedly, amid rumors about his marital fidelity and soon after a divorce. He had also abruptly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun, claiming that resigning from Congress and as publisher was necessary to spend more time with his sons.



The results of the mandated autopsy, however, were deemed "inconclusive" by Dr. Michael Berkland
Dr. Michael Berkland, it turns out, has a very interesting background himself. Recently relocated to Florida, it is a matter of public record that Dr. Berkland's medical license in the state of Missouri was revoked in 1998 as a result of Berkland reporting false information regarding brain tissue samples in a 1996 autopsy report. Berkland does not deny the charges.

It's also a matter of public record that he was suspended from his position as Medical Examiner in the State of Florida in July, 1999

56. Ha!

Good one!

[fleabert]

13. I remember reading that this was addressed during the lawsuit

he filed against the dr. wouldn't that have saved the dr's ass from a negligent finding?

[Skinner]

14. You have got to be kidding me.

I can't believe that Jeb wants to keep this story alive. I guess now that *every other republican* has dropped this issue like a hot potato, Jeb thought he could distinguish himself from his future primary opponents by being the only one still shopping this thing around.

[sabra]

16. remember god has a plan for good ole JEB....

[blm]

20. BINGO!!!!!!!

Typical, eh? Bushes never pass up the chance to take advantage of the support for their lying asses.

[lthuedk]

22. Let us focus on the bottom line:

Stephen Pitt

[stevietheman]

15. Jeb: Stop harrassing Mr. Schiavo!!!!!!!!

With super-corrupt Jeb now calling for a new investigation into Mr. Schiavo, will the harassment of this man ever end? Are there any efforts on-going to call on Jeb and Republicans to stop the harassment of Mr. Schiavo?

[converted_democrat]

17. Call him, tell him he's an ass. 1-850-488-4441...I did, and it felt good!

[stevietheman]

I already sent him a nastygram...

to let him know his priorities... he needs to investigate his own actions in the 2000 election fiasco FIRST!

[roguevalley]

42. I did too. I said tell Jeb he's a horse's ass for harassing mike

schiavo and they hung up on me. I'm still laughing.

[Fire Walk With Me]

19. Jeb is in the news too much... Way way too much. No President Jeb, thanks.

[The Backlash Cometh]

21. Oh, I thought this thread was about 9/11. Boy, was I excited when

I read that Gov. Bush was encouraging a prosecutor to investigate why there were government lapses on 9/11. Now THAT's a story with implications for all of us.

[sadiesworld]

34. Yep.

This is the second time in the past hour that I've gotten heart palpitations over this Bush/911 business. Damn, I need to chill! :crazy:

[dkofos]

23. b*sh= ignorant cocksucker

[otohara]

25. Insanity Is Genetic

the entire Bush clan is fucking nuts.

[Benhurst]

26. It's about time this was investigated!

All those planes flying around and no response at all from "the World's Only Superpower" on 9/11. So much for all those Trillions of Dollars spent on Defense.

Oh, wait a minute... . This is the other Bush, and not 9/11 but a 911 phone call. Jeez! What could I have been thinking? As the truth is ever going to come out about 9/11.

[glitch]

27. And there I thought he meant the delayed call from his brother on 9/11

Dopey me.

[mbee]

28. Hey, when will they investigate Baby Bush's delayed

9/11 reaction while he was reading to children NYC and the Pentagon was burning!

[AzDar]

29. Grasping at straws..after the devastating autopsy report..to try and save

(his massively over-sized) face. GIVE IT UP, you fundie-freak.

[peaches2003]

30. Never move to Florida

Thank God we don't live in FL! Last month my husband had to call 911 when I became extremely ill. I know the call is on record, but what if he was asked what time he found me sick? He'd never remember exactly, even today, much less years from now. Who would remember, especially being shocked to find one's spouse so sick? So Jebbie would prosecute my husband if he had the exact time not right?

Good God, all these Bushies have to go! Not only are they all criminals, they are nuts and tools of the wackos.

[MsConduct]

31. I swear, ma & pa bush fetched up a whole passel of morons! n/t

32. Yea, so much for eugenics, huh? N\T

59. LOL Yep, you got that right. n/t

[Straight Shooter]

33. Vindictiveness and a petty mind are the hallmarks of the bush family.

The lack of a conscience also seems to be a genetic trait.

[rodeodance]

35. headline should be---'alledged' delayed ..call.---

[rodeodance]

36. Jeb says the question may be unanserable--yet he takes the leap.

...... Bush acknowledged in his letter that an investigation may be difficult.

"I understand that these events took place many years ago, and that you may not be able to collect all the relevant records and physical evidence. However, Mrs. Schiavo's family deserves to know anything that can be done to determine the cause and circumstances of her collapse 15 years ago," Bush wrote. "The unanswered questions may be unanswerable, but the attempt should be made."

[rodeodance]

37. so who is behind Jeb sending this letter? --I do not get it -how does

this--or what is in for Jeb at this point/


......In a letter faxed to Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney Bernie McCabe, the governor said Michael Schiavo testified in a 1992 medical malpractice trial that he found his wife collapsed at 5 a.m. on Feb. 25, 1990, and he said in a 2003 television interview that he found her about 4:30 a.m. He called 911 at 5:40 a.m.

"Between 40 and 70 minutes elapsed before the call was made, and I am aware of no explanation for the delay," Bush wrote. "In light of this new information, I urge you to take a fresh look at this case without any preconceptions as to the outcome."

McCabe was out of state Friday and couldn't immediately be reached for comment, but Bush said McCabe has agreed to his request.

Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment from The Associated Press. But on Wednesday he said his client didn't wait to call for help and has conceded that he confuses dates and times.

[rodeodance]

40. "not meant to suggest wrongdoing by M. Schiavo"--what else can be

implied by the 'probe"?????



Bush said his request for the probe was not meant to suggest wrongdoing by Michael Schiavo.

[AlGore-08.com]

44. The GOP plays to its base and ignores the rest of us

The far right wackados are more than a little disappointed with Dr. KittyKiller. When he distanced himself from the whole Schaivo mess ("I never made a diagnosis" - - yeah, whatever JEB!(TM) saw an opening to become the fundies' favorite in 2008. Hence, the malicious prosecution.

As far as JEB!(TM) is concerned, reopening the case is a WIN/WIN. If they find something to lock up Schaivo's husband, he will be the hero of heroes to the wackados. If they find nothing, he can continue to insinuate that she was murdered. On the extremely unlikely chance that they find evidence that totally clears her husband (and what could that be - - a time stamped video tape??), he can either lie that the evidence is bogus, the jury was full of godless Democratic activists and/or that he was simply doing his job, trying to find the truth.

[chartresbleu]

38. contact the florida tourism bureau, chambers of commerce etc.

let them know that until they help muzzle their stupifyingly rabid governor you will not even consider setting foot in their state and giving them any of your dollars. there are a lot of folks in florida enabling jebbie by standing idly by. but public sentiment against him is growing and once those enablers become convinced that they will lose money jeb will be cooked.

[Supersedeas]

39. DISTRACTION: d-i-s-t-r-a-c-t-i-o-n

[roguevalley]

41. Bastards. How about investigating Jeb for child abuse? His daughter

and his thief wife, how about them? This man will rot in hell. Florida, recall his sorry ass.

[roguevalley]

43. google the Florida Chamber of Commerce and send them an

e-mail about cancelling trips to Florida because of Jeb. I just did and I feel good. Sorry, good Floridians. I would like to come but I won't.

[chelsea0011]

45. Let's call to reopen Laura,Deathrace, Bush and her crash

former boyfriend? missing documents? sounds suspicious.

[m0nkeyneck]

46. plug a tube..

into her ashes and put her on the '08 ballot

[Karenina]

47. To WHOM can Michael turn

to get a RESTRAINING ORDER against these nutball stalkers???

[daleo]

48. The hospital lawyers would have researched this thoroughly

During the discovery phase of the malpractice suit. These allegations will prove to be baseless, like all the rest. This is just BFEE thuggery, to spite Micheal Shiavo for being correct all along. It is also a contemptuous waste of the state's resources for a petty, personal vendetta.

[NeoConsSuck]

52. Would someone please supply..

the prosecutor's mailing address along with Gov. Bush's mailing address?

Thanks!

[WePurrsevere]

53. WTH? Because there's a time discrepancy from an Emergency situation?

After 2 yrs and then 13 yrs would you remember the exact time when a loved on collapsed of a stroke, had a heart attack, died, etc?

When you're in an emergency/crisis situation do you look at the clock or are all your thoughts on the person you love? 2yrs later would you know for sure the exact time the situation happened.. how about 13 yrs later?

I've lived through a few emergencies during these times my mind has been so focused on the person that I love and getting them the help they need that I'm pretty sure I sure wouldn't note the exact time and even more likely to not recall after 2 yrs.. unless the clocks all mysteriously froze at that moment. ;-) What you are more likely to remember is the time of day.. often in reference to marker of time such as a meal, bedtime, waking up, etc. Also in a crisis time has a way of morphing in our minds, for example you think the ambulance takes "forever" and it fact it's only a few minutes.

I'm not saying I think Michael Schiavo is innocent or guilty, I wasn't there and don't know all the real facts. However starting up an investigation and costing vast amounts of taxpayers dollars only because of this time discrepancy and especially after all this time is just ridiculaous. If you have more and better evidence then that I could probably understand it but it sure looks like it's all about the time MS recalls after a couple years and that is all.

[moobu2]

54. This is Jeb Bush

playing to the religious right base because he intends to run for President. Gota keep them energized ya know.

There are no limits to his sucking up to the fundies. Make no mistake, he's a very dangerous man. So what if he uses his power as Governor to ruin this guy's (who's most likely completely innocent) life.

I hate these people

[Logansquare]

55. Maybe he can investigate the delayed jet scramble on 9/11 as well

since he's already working on that number..

[bluedog]

57. Schindlers' pastor is transferred

Schindlers' pastor is transferred


The priest whose Pinellas church held a funeral Mass for Terri Schiavo is moving.

By WAVENEY ANN MOORE, Times Staff Writer
Published April 12, 2005

GULFPORT - The priest whose church hosted the funeral Mass for Terri Schiavo is being transferred to another parish. He says the move is a mere coincidence.

The Rev. William J. Swengros, pastor at Most Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, said the change is among the routine transfers regularly made in Catholic dioceses. His new assignment - St. Stephen's Catholic Church in Valrico - becomes effective July 1.

"It was a great surprise and, as always, leaving is very difficult," said Swengros, who announced the news to his parishioners at all weekend Masses.

"Some of the people have made the connection with Schiavo, but it's not that at all."more

58. Give it up Jeb

You guys looked pretty stupid the first time arouns. You're not going to gain any more points now.

[kskiska]

60. When did Jeb call the cops

after he found his daughter was abusing drugs?

[rocktivity]

61. The request for the probe is not meant to suggest wrongdoing by Michael?

Well, seeing as how this issue could have been addressed at ANY time within the last fifteen years, the probe must be meant to show that Jeb is an immature, psychotically vindictive sore loser!
