Delay tries the Schiavo gambit

I thought some guy offering Terri Schiavo's husband a $million to...buy her, I guess -- what else would you call it... so that said evil husband and her doctors can't let the poor woman finally die was disgusting enough.

But for Tom Delay to use the poor woman and her vegatative state as a political life preserver is...Christ...there's no words, man.

DeLay also moved to shore up his support with conservatives, one of his most important constituencies, with an afternoon speech to a tax summit of the National Republican Congressional Committee and an evening appearance at an $8 million fundraiser featuring President Bush (news - web sites). DeLay also told leaders that he wants Congress to find a way to help Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Floridian whose feeding tube is scheduled to be removed Friday.

When will House Republicans grow a collective spine and pull the tubes on this monster?
