| Leonard Pitts Writes about Jeb Bush's Shameful Vendetta against Michael Schiavo |
| 06.28.05 (4:45 am) [edit] |
Leonard Pitts is one of my favorite columnists in this article http://www.baltimoresun.com/n...,1,3626705.story?coll=bal-oped-headl ines&ctrack=1&cset=true he urges Bush to "Pity Michael Schiavo. He's had his motives and character questioned at every step along the way, had to put up with calumnies flung by religious zealots and wild-eyed conspiracy theorists unable to believe that all he wanted to do was keep a promise to his wife.
But in some ways, the transparent emptiness, the self-evident pettiness, the very personal nature of this latest assault, especially coming when it does and from such a lofty office, makes it the lowest blow of all. It's a punch in the groin after the bell has rung.
Is Florida really such a paradise that the governor has time to indulge a vendetta against a single citizen? Did they clean up the Everglades without telling me? Fix the schools without issuing a memo?
Mr. Bush, if he has a shred of decency, should be ashamed of himself. He should apologize to Mr. Schiavo. And he should leave the poor man alone."

This past few years has really led me to examine my acceptance of the Christian right. I am out. I needed to be out as well. When will we as Christians realize that we are at our strongest when we are at our weakest?
