Laura Bush--Hypocrite

[tek]

Hypocrite speaks about Sciavo

She says the government has a right to be involved in the Terry Sciavo matter. But later on the article she says she and the White House occupant have Living Wills.

"I think that is really good," she said. "The president and I have living wills and, of course, our parents do. They wanted us always to be aware of it. I think that it is important for families to have opportunities to talk about these issues."

She doesn't want some government official deciding her fate, but it's ok for them to get involved witht he Sciavos...

Anyone who hasn't been in a coma for the last 15 years would know that the whole issue here is that Terri Sciavo doesn't have a living will, which is what makes it necessary for the government to get involved.

Very Hypocritical. Take a look:

The media coverage of the Schiavo case doesn't include one important detail: a Texas law that authorizes health care providers to remove their patients from life support. Guess who signed it into law?

On Thursday, Hudson died after a Texas hospital removed his feeding tube, despite his mother's pleas. He had a fatal congenital disease, but would have been kept alive had his mother been able to pay for his medical costs, or had she found another institution willing to take him. In a related Texas case, Spiro Nikolouzos, who is unable to speak and must be fed through a tube because of a shunt in his brain – but who his wife says can recognize family members and show emotion – may soon be removed from life support because health care providers believe his case is futile.

The Hudson and Nikolous cases fall under the Texas Futile Care Law, which was signed into law by then-governor George W. Bush.

No life support for you, says Bush

Oh my mistake, I didnt realize that "that then Governor George W Bush" actually meant Laura Bush. Youre completely right, that b<font color="black">i</font>tch is a complete hypocrite.

Why didn't she convince her husband not to sign this very destructive bill?

Probably had better things to do, like reading, smoking and admiring.

Whether Laura Bush has been hypocritical on this is a bit of a distractive sideshow to the massive hypocrisy shown by the President himself. We should err on the side of life, unless you're poor? Nice.
