DeLay Family Outcome Different From Schiavo's
No doubt, this story will become big news unless the corporate media doesn't feel there is any ratings in it. The angle most blogs are presenting is the hypocrisy of DeLay allowing his father to die with the dignity he has now denied Schiavo (even if she is allowed to die this time, the Religious Right have stolen all dignity from her final days with this unbearable circus.)
The message I hope does not get buried in this story is the fact that the DeLay family sued after the father's death. Tom DeLay was a plaintiff. The same slimy, evil politician that has railed against any American having a right to sue a manufacturer for damages, made sure he got his.
Of course, his toadies find him blameless (just like the multitude of corruption and criminal investigations against him,) saying he "didn't follow the suit." When he rammed through legislation moving class-action suits out of state courts, I didn't hear him claiming that those plaintiffs were blameless even though most of them "don't follow the suit."
