I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Today's poll question: Are Jeb Bush's actions criminal?
i'll say.
This really is outrageous. Too bad I'm fresh out of outrage. I might be able to muster some for this, though.
Wingnuts are encouraging lawlessness, and CNN is giving them a forum to do so.
That no one has (yet) been killed is somewhat amazing to me, but give it time I guess...
Fuck Bush and his li'l doggies too.
Have a nice day. 
The story just broke last night. By this afternoon, short of her death, it will be a major narrative.
That said, anybody who puts Pat Boone and his lying-ass bulshit on the air deserves ridicule.
"CNN's a joke in your town!"
It's like DWD was saying on the late night thread. This is an impeachable offense. Not that the Bushes are short of those.
Isn't it obvious that they believe it is so important to save a life that they don't care who they kill.
ah-ph!
What they thought would happen was drama, blood-shed, riots and a miniature, localised civil war.
They've gotten all of the mileage they're going to get out of the war in Iraq they so ardently promoted (they can't influence the Iraqis the way the influence us). There's nowhere else overseas they can get us involved in militarily. So they're left with stirring up violence at home.
Nope, CNN will ignore it just like they ignore the Friday news dump (which, I might add, was a doozy yesterday).
And of course the life-militias would have back Jebby's shock troops up as they stormed the building.
I think that Jeb forgot that the local cops actually know Judge Greer and the situruation quite well, and are not swayed by Randall Terry.
SIno resume the friday newsdump news for us please...

Yes, Atrios, well put. This is something that needs repeating over and over again. The MSN is covering for the Bush boys. Why isn't CNN reporting this story?
Maybe they'll mention it on Monday, when they air their "INSIDE THE BLOGS" segment(snark) - how LAME is that segment!
Yesterday a repuke Congressman wanted to deploy the Guard in FLA over this- posse commitatus anyone?
I think the lawyers at the cable channels are suddenly beginning to do a little research into their own culpability should the shit hit the fan.
Result -- nothing ugly which could wind up in biting their ass in a trial will be reported. Wolf Blitzer don't want to be the next Sally Jess Raphael.
They're ignoring it for a simple reason: No video.
Too bad. It would have made great helicopter footage.
I think it's time these people got the reality check and left, don't you?
I will say I did catch a report about the showdown on CNN Headline News while flipping around the dial this morning.
Why isn't CNN reporting this story?
Why would the media want to shine a bright light on the Fundies? The whackos are good for Israel, hence need to be protected at all costs by the US media.
Here's a link to a form you can use to send CNN a "News tip." I just asked them why they were not covering the story, which has been extensively reported in the Miami Herald.
"leave".
no coffee - waiting for it to brew.
Jeb does not have the guts to use force - George would have killed everyone at the hospital by now...
Why isn't CNN reporting this story?
They want Jeb to run for President.
Good for you, Res Ispa. Thanks for the link. Off I go.
George would have killed everyone at the hospital by now...
He would, if only to get himself hard enough to boink Laura
Jeb is just waiting for the crazies to do his work for him.
Hell, the MSM should be thrown over a cliff for its behavior over the last 10 years. Shamefull and sickening how the press has whored itsself to death.

Gee, I guess I must be the only one who missed MoDo yesterday.
Mr. DeLay made his personal stake clear at a conference last Friday organized by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group. He said that God had brought Terri Schiavo's struggle to the forefront "to help elevate the visibility of what is going on in America." He defined that as "attacks against the conservative movement, against me and against many others."
So it's not about her crisis at all. It's about his crisis.
Damn.
CNN has a complete black out on facts
CAndy Crowley should be fired for calling for Michael Schiavo's murder which she managed in an interview with Pat the Killer Robertson

Also, zippo that I can see in the NYT this morning. Jeez, or perhaps "Jebz", another amazing coincidental coincidence!
Pretty amazing, the governor of a state asking people to carry out orders contrary to a judicial ruling of that state. What are the criteria for impeachment in Florida?
no video?
With the legions of news vans outside the hospice? No video??? Un-fucking-likely. More like lots of video - that looks very, very, very ugly.
What are the criteria for impeachment in Florida?
Being a democrat?
Underneath all this there is one thing that occassionally boils to the surface, but rarely is discussed as the issue. As much as this is about wingnuts gone wild, it is about the Shindlers. Everyday in this country, and on quite a few days in Fla. I am sure, families make the decision that a loved one no longer is leading a life they would want and allow them to die. It's not easy, but it's what you do when you know that someone you love wanted and deserved a life as something other than a part of yours.
It's sad that the Shindlers can't let go and have chosen to be a spectacle instead of the kind of parents who respect their grown child's wish.
Fuck BUSH and all the BUSH Mafia members. That stinking bastard hopped on a plane at a moments notice to jump into this fundie clown fest but waited 5 days to offer condolences to the Indian Reservation families of actuall slain folks. I detest the entire family from hell. Surely Babs is *America's worst mother.*

from the second link,
But, perhaps most ominous is the similar role that religion formerly played in Hitler's National Socialist regime and currently plays in Bush's. According to Lukacs, "what is more significant—and worrisome—is how nationalism, including Hitlerian nationalism, coexisted with religion in the minds of many people; and in that coexistence their nationalism was, ever so often, stronger and deeper than was their religion." [p. 131]

I had a friend who went to work for the Detroit Free Press. We grew up together in a union town..Wyandotte. His family like mine were staunch Democrats. As he moved up the food chain he switched and became a Republican. It bothered him that he had to tithe the government for the new found financial success he was enjoying. The same government that gave him student loans, a VA loan to his father to purchase his home, Social Security to his grandparents. He is now a proponent of starving the beast. His mantra, like that of the GOP's, "I got mine so fuck you!"
Wingnuts are encouraging lawlessness, and CNN is giving them a forum to do so.
Not just CNN, Fox as well, with their little John Gibson stunt. Frankly, I think the Bushies would be thrilled with lawlessness because it gives them a pretext to take away even more civil rights.
What if Terri was saying "I want to die" instead of "I want to live"
charley,
pair that with the photographs of these religious zealots waving American flags in front of the hospice and you've got a nice-sized helping of neo-Nazism.

But the face of Big Brother seemed to persist for several seconds on the screen, as though the impact that it had made on everyone's eyeballs was too vivid to wear off immediately. The little sandyhaired woman had flung herself forward over the back of the chair in front of her. With a tremulous murmur that sounded like 'My Saviour!' she extended her arms towards the screen. Then she buried her face in her hands. It was apparent that she was uttering a prayer.

Being a democrat?
That probably sums it up. The Florida legislative branch is utterly dominated by Repugs (or their equivalent).
Even the St. Pete Times seems to have nothing on the attempted snatching. They do have this:
Protesters flooded DCF's child abuse hotline with concerns about Schiavo and making it hard for others with complaints to get through, Faraj said Friday.
"The DCF needs to be able to get to calls related to new emergencies regarding the well-being of children and families," Faraj said.
Also, apparently Michael Schiavo wants Terri's ashes to be buried in a family plot near Philadelphia, where they both lived. The parents object to both cremation and to her being buried outside Florida.
I always thought it was a touch weird that the parents moved to Florida so quickly after the couple did. You cannot help but wonder what this gal's life was like.
I think this story is a ruse to save Jebbie's rep with the fundies. The article makes it sound like a showdown, but really, there was a phone call to tell the cops that the agents were "en route" and a call to the hospital to prepare for Shiavo's admittance, and then a leak to the Herald. Then supposedly, Jeb goes in front of the cameras to say he did all he could do. Now word is trickling down to the fundies that Jebbie ordered the rescue, but was thwarted by the law when some 3hour legal window was slammed shut. The fundies are mollified; and since there is no proof that the event was even seriously planned, Jebbie has complete deniability that he did anything wrong. Brilliant! I was wondering how he was going to try to weasel out of this.
Laura--that is a brilliant analysis, and sadly, you are probably spot-on. This bears the White Hand of Rove for sure.
I was thinking the same thing as Laura. This is a sop to get the fundies off Jeb's back. An article about this was just posted to Freeperville. So far, it doesn't look like it's going to work.
Well, Jeb should have let the county know that he was embargoing all state funds to the county and gone in with state troopers anyway.

Here we go again. Everything I have been saying is true. Law enforcement is under the executive branch, not the judicial branch. This is a terrible day in America when the law enforcement agencies of our land have been co-opted by the judicial branch. We no longer have a democracy, we have an oligarchy. Our land is no longer ruled by the people, it is ruled by a handful of judicial appointees. Wake up you fools! We are on our way to tyranny!

Here's CNN's "tips" page. Make sure to send a separate "tip" to CNN.com, CNN, and Headline News. Here's mine:
Why nothing on Jeb Bush's attemtpt to use state troops to circumvent the rule of law in the Schiavo case? I'll make it easy for you - here's a link to a REAL news organization that's already done the reporting for you:
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamihe...ld/
11233240.htm
Why aren't you covering this as the major story it is?
Sorry, man...
I disagree. Fundies might in fact not be placated by a story that Jebbie tried but was ineffectual, or that his storm troopers had a FUBAR.
Why speculate just to invent a narrative that makes Jebbie and his pals so smart? To carry out your presumed plan, wouldn't FoxNews and CNN be trumpeting it?
Keep the letters coming!
Ask your local papers to report on people like this nimnull.
And remember, back in January of 2000, the Schindlers' lawyer at the time admitted that Terri was in a PVS.
Why is this important?
Because as any sane and ethical doctor will tell you:
1) The longer one is PVS -- and by 2000, Terri had been in one for almost a decade -- the less chance there is of coming out of it, AND
2) People whose cerebral cortexes have been destroyed -- as Terri's was when she had her heart attack in 1990 -- NEVER, EVER "wake up" because they have nothing to wake up WITH.
jeb is no floridian. he's the florida tentacle of the bfee. he's like some evil anthropomorphic display of all that is hideous and wrong about who these supposed "leaders" the bushes are, and where they really came from. He is simply one extremety of a fell beast that has festered in the bog of american politics, as though it were from a poorly rehearsed high school school play, for far too long.
CNN has a complete black out on facts
CAndy Crowley should be fired for calling for Michael Schiavo's murder which she managed in an interview with Pat the Killer Robertson
She WHAT?!?!?
Send that -- and the time you saw it -- to mm-tips@mediamatters.org, STAT!
I'd love to see her fired for this. Or do jail time.
I guess I am must weird but I do not think that Jebbie would try this without clearing it with his older brother.
A - B - C
There must be a record of the conversation of the two. If the President conspired with his brother to attempt to circumevent duly adjudicated rulings by both state and federal courts: they are both guilty of malfeasance and possibly treason.
This is not a minor hiccough, this is scary scary bullshit that should be punished severely.
It seems obvious to me. I'll bet the fervor went further than even the Bushies expected. Maybe they oughta watch some of their pundits foaming at the mouth at the thought of a confrontation? Fukkin' eediots! They're just slobbering at the hope of some sort of violence. I guess now their only hope is Hal Turner in Atrios' next post. It compares with the glee with which they followed the drumbeat to Iraq; you could just tell when they were saying "we hope diplomacy will prevent war," they were thinking "gimme shocknawe!"
Laura @10:40,
Sounds plausible - but I thought I read that the source for the Miami Herald story was anonymous, or "spoke on condition of anonymity." Maybe it was a set up. You never can tell.
If BushCo wanted to get a message to the "base", why the blackout? The media have become a vast press-release disseminating structure for BushCo. Why drop the ball now?
I should state that I believe the media, because it is a big business component, is complicit in all the frauds perpetrated by BushCo and thus willing to enable the BushCo agenda, in this case, a constitutional crisis.
They WANTED a crisis.
But I could be wrong.
Jeb Bush ..our next president.. the dynaasty will be complete !~ hahaha
I think the team of dumb and dumber (jeb & george) may be harming lil jeb's presidential chances with the way they have handled this whole Schiavo matter. Maybe FINALLY the many "sleeping" americans will see just what these guys have been up. Or maybe not 
Huey, I'm not saying it's gonna work, I think they may have stirred up the rattlesnakes too much. I'm thinking maybe they let the story out locally, to get the fundies to hear the whisper, but tell CNN to lay off. Without proof or pictures, that might be easy.
good site
last nite on harball, barbara cochran, president of the radio and tv news directors association was on. maybe contacting them directly about the egregious behavior of the cable outlets would have more impact than writing direclty to cnn/msnbc.
Another point-all these stories from the Schindler's about Terri's lips and tongue being dried out due to dehydration are probably lies too. I've sat at the bedside in a hospice, and they always have water and swabs on hand. They nurse or family continually swab out the patient's mouth to keep it moist, to make them as comfortable as possible and also wet their lips or use lip salve.
phoenix woman: here's the quote from the transcript.
CROWLEY: Reverend Robertson, if Terri Schiavo should die, who will you blame?
ROBERTSON: I'll blame her husband, who obviously wanted to kill her. I'll blame that judge who didn't take many ways out to save her life and who executed her.
Candy, you wouldn't do this to a criminal on death row, a murderer. It's against the law to starve a horse to death or to starve a dog to death. And to do this, who knows how long that poor woman will have to linger?
We've got no guarantee that she's going to die. This is the seventh day. Would it be a week or two weeks?
It's agony! No food. No water. To do this to somebody who is absolutely innocent?
So who do you blame? I blame her husband and I blame the judge. Nobody else.
CROWLEY: Reverend Pat Robertson, as always, very interesting. We appreciate it.
..He would, if only to get himself hard enough to boink Laura...
More likely, Jeff and Scottie. With perhaps a little Condi on the side.
oops -- here's link to trnascript:
cnn transcript of march 24, candy crowley plays straight man to pat robertson and calls michael schiavo a murderer
Laura..it doesn't sound like Candy was out and out agreeing w/rabid robertson but for her to say she "apreciates" his call for murder, is .. to say the least, despicable fawning on her part.
CNN just had Carol Miller - who wrote the Miami Herald article - on for a short interview. I had actually emailed CNN and asked them to do a story on this about an hour ago. Are they listening? Maybe!
bkny,
"CROWLEY: Reverend Robertson, if Terri Schiavo should die, who will you blame? "
WOW. Talk about a leading question...
What IS the deal with CNN? It's the supposedly "main stream" 24 hr news network - lots of otherwise sane people watch it - this isn't just about ratings. The mainstream HATES this story. It's noxious and overwrought and too too too ugly.
Maybe it's deliberate. Maybe the only way they can cut BushCo loose is to offer a forum for all the fanatics who are responsible for the BushCo "victory".
If America ODs on the Schiavo story, and particularly on the non-stop wingnut gushing, maybe there'll be a day of reckoning for Bush.
Who knows.
I have a hard time listening to anything but air america these days. I used to like to watch the different pundits debate the issues on cnn and msnbc but even the ones I once considered "more liberal" have found a way to praise dumbya. It's sickening. There is no investigative journalism on tv news anymore. The only msnbc host I respect is the very funny and very honest Keith Olberman.
I have scoured media sites for mention of Jeb Bush's storm troopers and have found NADA.
Au contraire, bart.
Carol Miller's Miami Herald Story is on the front page of my paper - the Times Union (Albany, NY)
It's likely that Terry Schiavo will pass away in the coming weeks. If you think she has been exploited shamelessly by the wingnuts thus far, just wait until she is gone- her picture will be enshrined on billboards everywhere. She will be the unwitting poster girl for the "right to life" culture.
It's spelled "gets", not "getes". Although for all I know Bush getes all the time.
Nothing on the WaPo website, either.
Here's my letter to the ombudsman, Michael Getler (ombudsman@washpost.com):
Dear Mr. Getler:
Speaking of things that the WaPo gets an 'incomplete' on, here's a story from the Miami Herald about a Thursday morning showdown between the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (state police) and the local police protecting the hospice where Terry Schiavo, or what's left of her, resides:

Story:
Police 'showdown' averted
BY CAROL MARBIN MILLER
cmarbin@herald.com
Hours after a judge ordered that Terri Schiavo was not to be removed from her hospice, a team of state agents were en route to seize her and have her feeding tube reinserted -- but they stopped short when local police told them they would enforce the judge's order, The Herald has learned.
Agents of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement told police in Pinellas Park, the small town where Schiavo lies at Hospice Woodside, on Thursday that they were on the way to take her to a hospital to resume her feeding.
For a brief period, local police, who have officers at the hospice to keep protesters out, prepared for what sources called ``a showdown.''
In the end, the squad from the FDLE and the Department of Children & Families backed down, apparently concerned about confronting local police outside the hospice.
''We told them that unless they had the judge with them when they came, they were not going to get in,'' said a source with the local police.
''The FDLE called to say they were en route to the scene,'' said an official with the city police who requested anonymity. ``When the sheriff's department and our department told them they could not enforce their order, they backed off.''
The incident,known only to a few and related to The Herald by three different sources involved in Thursday's events, underscores the intense emotion and murky legal terrain that the Schiavo case has created. It also shows that agencies answering directly to Gov. Jeb Bush had planned to use a wrinkle in Florida law that would have allowed them to legally get around the judge's order. The exception in the law allows public agencies to freeze a judge's order whenever an agency appeals it.
CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS
Participants in the high-stakes test of wills, who spoke with The Herald on the condition of anonymity, said they believed the standoff could ultimately have led to a constitutional crisis and a confrontation between dueling lawmen.
''There were two sets of law enforcement officers facing off, waiting for the other to blink,'' said one official with knowledge of Thursday morning's activities.
In jest, one official said local police discussed ``whether we had enough officers to hold off the National Guard.''
(There's more, but that gives you the gist of it.)
So why isn't an AP version of this on your website? Is this not important, that the governor of Florida sent one set of police to push aside another set of police?
Anyone in there, McFly?
Sincerely,
(RT)
While you're at it, SAVE REAGAN'S LIFE TOO!
This is an ORDER, Mr. Bush!
Dig him up! The government has to SAVE him!
Wasn't "protective custody" a term used by a former mystic, right-wing, authoritarian regime in central Europe which came to exclusive power under suspicious circumstances in the early mid-20th century?

Feds vs. S&L's?", con't:
I hope these rumors about the Bush Boys using LE to bounce the young lady back and forth between themselves doesn't come to pass because when any single agency's manpower is drawn lean to devote itself to a politicized issue other LE agencies have to jump in to fill their void. On 9/11 in NY I recall that there was a conscious decision to keep DEA and a few other agencies from going to NY to participate in order-keeping ops so that drug dealers and criminals in certain areas wouldn't think they had a long vacation to romp and roam as they pleased. (Apparently a few remaining sane people in D.C. who were around during the Atlanta Olympics recalled that pulling DEA and other agencies to that burg for security guard duty only helped widespreading crack and other dealers flourish like baby J.P. Morgan's while tons of multi-agency federal agents were in Atlanta failing to prevent the very disaster that ultimately occurred.)
Our country already has a serious problem keeping civil order while thousands of police officers serving with the National Guard have been sent to Iraq... we are relying more and more on weaker, fat, quick-crying and stupid females in LE to fill the boots of departed males.
Should a major deal break out because a majority of our NG's are patrolling the streets in Baghdad instead of being here at home where they belong. All we can do is hope that after having cut so many fed, state and local LE agency budgets to the bone the two Bush Boys don't pull a major boner by heaping more work on our shoulders with all their political exploitation of the Sciavo case.

so did JEBush ever rescind the martial law declaration from Sept 7,2001? could get interesting
Feds vs. S&L's?", con't:
I have also heard similar rumors. I heard that Jeb will use state police to take custody of the woman and place her in a State facility. I also heard from someone close to Jeb's office that he and his brother agreed that George will refuse to send federal troops or use federal LE to demand custody of Sciavo. But that if George is forced by the court to use us to take Sciavo out of state custody she will then remain in federal custody. In both scenarios this means that while the woman is in either custody no one can remove her feeding tube. It appears that the Bush brothers have cooked up this 'Shock and Awe' scheme to bounce the woman back and forth between fed and state custody and thereby lengthen her life long enough for a Bush Brothers medical team to conduct medical examinations that will predictably conclude that Sciavo's condition can improve if intensive treatment is given to her.
But I have to say that there are a lot of people here who are saying that Jeb's action might result in his impeachment and would surely destroy any hopes of his following his older brother in the WH in 2008.
I think it's time these people got the reality check and left, don't you?
watertiger
Wingnut fundies. Not just bad tippers, but they skip out on the reality check too
Hiya preznit! Long time no see!

Damn, why can't we trade in CNN for a Knight-Ridder Channel? Hey, I'd buy a TV to watch that.
Agitated Jeb went on the news to state he had no intention of overstepping his authority. The real cause of his agitation is that Pinellas police busted Jeb and his white knight's attempts to kidnap Terri and reinsert her tube. He was busted trying to overstep his authority and went on air stating the opposite to cover his real actions.
CNN has no shame. I can't imagine anyone with any self-respect wanting to work there.
"While the Florida intra-law-enforcement standoff may not be getting coverage on CNN, over at Knight Ridder's Washington Bureau, it's listed as the "TOP STORY" -"
Yeah. IIRC Knight-Ridder has done some actual investigative reporting that's not 100% BushBot -
This is entirely consistent with CNN's role as a pro-Republican, pro-right-wing, pro-Administration propaganda tool.
The left should spend its time educating the public about the media and where it can find real news.

Sexual misconduct and homosexuality "trendy" on Capitol Hill.

Barnes Review News editor, Walter Storch, shocked the nation recently alleging chief Republican strategist, Karl Rove (pictured), participated in homosexual orgies in the Washington D.C. area.
”Karl Rove was seen by one of my people entering a private homosexual orgy at a five-star Washington hotel over the Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL) weekend last year," the respected editor commented.

The Blaghdaddy wondered the same thing...and has anyone checked out the lunatics at World Net Daily? I was checking in to see what Pat Buchanan is drivelling about and I caught this article...it's beyond belief...link is at my blog site.
I think Michael Schiavo is employed by the sheriff's department of whatever county Terri's hospice is in. So I'd like to see state forces (or whatever private storm troopers the Bushes are undoubtedly assembling) try to get in there.
If the wingers discovered that Terri had an abortion (you know, youthful indiscretion, like W), would they change their minds about the feeding tube needing to be reinserted?
CNN in the last week has finally out-foxed Fauxnews-the incredible por-Schindler tilt of the correspondants-Bob Franken has been especially craven. The press has let Randall Terry have a news briefing on Thursday and let go unchallenged his statement that "terri was weaker today; she couldn't speak." Terry, you pondscum, she hasn't spoken in fifteen YEARS! Why couldn't a reporter call him on that BIG LIE? This whole mess is in such bone-chilling bad taste-if we weren't the laughing stock of the world for the last five years, we certainly are now.
