dreading terri's death

[butchcjg]

If we think the news coverage is bad now...

Imagine how it'll be when Terri actually dies?

Her funeral will probably get as much coverage as Princess Diana's...

I wonder if the Bushies will attend?

1. count on it

"I wonder if the Bushies will attend?"

Bush can't be bothered to attend a single funeral of a soldier killed in his little war. But he'll be all over this.

2. they would be the types to politicalize such a private

and sad affair. Though I honestly think this is backfiring on the GOP.

3. If there ever was a time for a spring-loaded casket,

this would be it

[Guaranteed]

7. *snort* Jesus, DS.

You ALWAYS do that.

12. LOLOL n/t

[MuseRider]

16. OMG,

this is priceless. Thanks for the LOL of the day. I know it is early but this one will be hard to top.

[Walt Starr]

4. Well, guess who is responsible for her funeral plans?

That's right, Michael Shiavo.

He can choose to do whatever he wants.

[Texasgal]

13. Hopefully he will keep it a private

family affair. I hope that atleast her funeral will have some dignity. This is getting out of control.....

[BlueEyedSon]

5. I agree, we need her on TV now while she is "alive" so the country

can see she is a veg.

After she dies, it's martyr city, baby! There will be stories about her walking, talking, dancing, laughing, playing checkers, praying, yadda yadda......

[kentuck]

6. Making another martyr...

when it wasn't necessary, imo...

[tridim]

8. I assume Michael will have a private funeral and have her cremated

It's up to him to keep it low key. Since he seems to be the only reasonable character in this whole thing, I trust he'll do what's right.

19. No matter what her husband tries to do

you can bet that her parents, siblings and their handlers will do their best to make a circus out of it and then blame Michael for it.

20. It wouldn't be the first time in-laws and a spouse had separate services.

hell, a co-worker just went through very similar crap a few weeks ago.

Anyone can hold a memorial service.

You can bet there'll be services held for her at THOUSANDS of fundamentalist-denomination churchs following her passing.

[Spazito]

9. The media might be torn...

it looks like the Pope isn't doing well either. Which to cover....hmmm....cover the Pope or cover the 'martyr'....tough choice. My bet is they will wait for the Rove order before deciding which will benefit the repubs more.

[jayctravis]

10. I had a horrible thought that...

if they did reinsert the tube and keep her alive that she'd become a celebrity.

[DS1]

11. Terri and the Lords of the Underworld

[ernstbass]

14. I hope she doesn't die on Good Friday

the fundies will have a field day with that! I have also wondered how the funeral will go in light of all the family animosity towards Michael.What a hideous circus this has become.

[matcom]

15. she died 15 fucking years ago

and it was her eating disorder that did her in.

[DS1]

17. Don't call her fat, she's just got big tubes

:D

[fooj]

18. Hello butchcjg! You know that JEB will be there!

The whole thing is a real circus. I feel sooo sorry for her and her family. They are being used as a political pawn. Ugh! Nice bumping into you, butchcjg!

Peace!

[Inland]

21. Same people who couldn't be bothered to see her while alive

will show up after death pretending to be great mourners.

Bet on it.

[Betty]

22. I'm sure bushler will attend her funeral

but I am equally sure he will never attend the funeral of any soldier killed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

[rainbow4321]

23. Maybe her "husband" can have...

a joint "Terri's funeral"/"Michael's wedding"...but then again, I look for him to wait a few months for the media attention to go away and then we will see it scrolled on the bottom of the cable channel that he got married.
The guy lost his right to the "marital sanctity" defense the minute he moved in w/ and knocked up <twice> the woman he is w/ now.

[Bridget Burke]

24. 'Moral sanctity" had nothing to do with the legal decisions...

Read up on them.
