Hooray for Ginny!

Some of the Atriots are up watching the House nonsense over Terri Schiavo on C-Span. And guess what? Not all of the Republican Congresscritters are going to be voting lockstep for the asinine thing Hot Tub Tom DeLay has shoved in front of them:

Florida Republicans are NOT united on this. the Republican dominated State Senate refused to act on Friday, and now Ginny. posted this on the above thread, in case you missed it: Ginny Browne-Waite, a Florida Republican representing the Chamber of Commerce/Land Developer wing of the party, just tore into the wingnut talking points. This whole fiasco is gonna cause some divisions in the Thugs ranks over the role of the Radical Xtians and their role in dragging down the 06 electoral prospects of the R's. Goodie.

Ginny is also on the side of the angels with regard to Social Security privatization -- though she tries to find some Bush-pleasing wiggle room on it. Ginny's also from Florida, where most of the residents support Michael Schiavo over the Schindlers and their new best friend, convicted felon Randall Terry. The OR people have managed to seriously piss off judges at every level of the state and local courts system, and all of the judges on the Federal bench know about the walking bucket of crap that is Randall Terry. Assuming that this bogus bill does pass the House, and that Bush gets woken up from his naptime to sign it, don't expect any of the judges in Florida's Middle District to be particularly eager to hear it. In fact, the odds are better than fifty-fifty that the first judge to get Michael Schiavo's motion to rule the law unconstitutional will agree with him and do just that -- which boots everything up to the appellate level, and from there to the Supremes, who have already twice refused to have anything to do with this case. And by the time it hits the Supreme Court, Terri will have drifted off peacefully, her body going where her brain went fifteen years ago.

Best line of the day, from Ed Schultz to a caller, a critical care nurse, talking about the Schiavo case:

"Hold it right there! You keep calling Tom DeLay a moron and I'll give you all the air time you want."
