Mike Schiavo Quote Of The Day

"Instead of worrying about my wife, who was granted her wishes by the state courts the past seven years, they should worry about the pedophiles killing young girls," [Michael] Schiavo said, referring to a local case. "Why doesn’t Congress worry about people not having health insurance? Or the budget? Let’s talk about all the children who don’t have homes."

"To make comments that Terri would want to live, how do they know?" Schiavo said of the members of Congress who want to keep his wife alive.

"Have they ever met her?" Schiavo said. "What color are her eyes? What’s her middle name? What’s her favorite color? They don’t have any clue who Terri is. They should all be ashamed of themselves."

Yup.  You tell ’em.

You know, they were playing excerpts from the Congressional debates on NPR today — and almost politician who spoke in favor of the "Save Terri" bill mispronounced her last name, calling her Terri "Shee-ay-vo" or "Shee-ah-vo". 

But those who opposed the bill usually pronounced her last name correctly ("Shy-vo").  Apparently, they took the time to inform themselves.

Says a lot, don’t it?
