Well, he kept his brother's Presidential hopes alive against the wishes of the nation
For the second time this year, Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida is seeking to sway a contentious case involving an incapacitated person, this time trying to keep a brain-damaged woman alive against her husband's wishes.
Mr. Bush's decision to file a friend-of-the-court brief on Tuesday came days after his attorney general, Charles Crist, declined to get involved in the case.
A state judge sided with the husband, Michael Schiavo of Tampa, last month, ordering that Mr. Schiavo's wife, Terri, stop receiving food through a tube on Oct. 15. Mr. Schiavo has sought to end his wife's life for several years, contending that she told him she would never want to be kept alive artificially. Mrs. Schiavo's parents have repeatedly gone to court to stop her death.
Mrs. Schiavo, 39, suffered a heart attack in 1989 that deprived her brain of oxygen long enough to paralyze her and cause brain damage. Some doctors have diagnosed her condition as a persistent vegetative state in which she is awake and breathing on her own but unable to think or speak.
This is a sad and tragic story, and the last thing the family needs is some bloated politico sticking his nose into it for cheap political gain. Oh wait, he has a history of this sort of thing:
In April, Mr. Bush asked a court to appoint a guardian for the fetus of a severely retarded woman in Orlando, to ensure that the woman's own guardian did not allow an abortion.
I guess when you can't control your own family's problems you have to sublimate those paternal impulses somewhere....
