Jeb Bush and DeLay would be telling the Vatican what to do, since they rule the moral universe.

3. He's quite ill and infirm but still has his mind.
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 11:36 AM by CottonBear
As his condition becomes worse, he will be attached to every tube and machine available in order to keep him "alive". Since he's so old and infirm, he may have to endure just months or a few years of this treatment before passing on.

Edit: He has Parkinsons disease as well as many of the infirmities of old age. He has already needed a tracheotomy. He still suffers the effects of being shot and has had broken bones. He can't really walk anymore.

6. Not even CLOSE.
He's old, he's sick, but he isn't missing most of his brain, like Schiavo is.

8. No need to ask me to chill, I knew it was humor.
I am pretty indifferent when it comes to the Pope.

2. If it were left to them

they would rip life support from him quicker than you can blink.

No, the Pope isn't in the same state as Schiavo.

4. No, they would stuff him and parade him out on his balconey for as long
as they could get away with it while they ran the church from behind the scenes.

5. Maybe DeLay Would
Jeb Bush is a practicing Roman Catholic who adopted the faith upon his marriage to his wife Columba...
