Tom DeLay, raging hypocrite.

Why not? Seems far more relevant than Bush's signing the Texas bill. This isn't simply supporting a restriction on abortion rights when your daughter had an abortion--it's his advancing legislation specific to one person to revisit a question that he and his family answered in regard to his father.
ETA: And I don't buy the line drawing that Delay's dad needed a ventilator whereas this is "just" food and water. How the mechanical administration of air is different from the mechanical administration of food/water is beyond me. Nor is the distinction between a "chance to live" any different--the evidence that Schiavo will never recover is no less overwhelming than that confronted by the Delays (who apparently didn't even wait 15 years to give dad a chance to live).
In the end, one can leave the decision to the family or one can leave the decision to the state. Delay ws happy with teh former for himself, but not for Schiavo.

I was right about Friday at around 3:00. I was wrong about the patient. We removed the vent from my great-uncle a few weeks ago and were waiting for the old man's friend to come and take him. He aspirated on the feeding tube and died on Friday.
