Under some sort international blogging agreement, it seems that every blog must post a link to
this story in the next 72 hours. So here it is. I really don't want to say anything about this case, because it's disgusting and tragic enough without my pithy comments. So here's the RNC:
The one-page memo, distributed to Republican senators by party leaders, called the debate over Schiavo legislation "a great political issue" that would appeal to the party's base, or core, supporters. The memo singled out Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., who is up for re-election next year.
This is an important moral issue, and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue," said the memo, reported by ABC News and later given to The Washington Post. "This is a great political issue, because Senator Nelson of Florida has already refused to become a co-sponsor and this is a tough issue for Democrats."
The whole thing is disgusting, but thanks taking the bar even lower, ass-hats.
