History.

Hey, remember the Schiavo case? It was the case which showed that Bush conservatives only care about women when they're brain-dead and unable to speak. It was an overheated melodrama in which almost everyone involved acted badly, a real nadir in the exploitation of people's pain and suffering.

The only good thing about it was that it finally began to expose said Bush conservatives as the weasely little rationalizers they are.

All these, of course, are merely my views. I'm sure you have your own, based on your memories of that time.

Fred Thompson doesn't. The bright and shining GOP star

was asked in an interview for Bay News 9's "Political Connections" program if he thought Congress' intervention to save the life of the brain-dead woman two years ago was appropriate.

"I can't pass judgment on it. I know that good people were doing what they thought was best," Thompson said. "That's going back in history. I don't remember the details of it."

"That's going back in history."

Two years ago.

"That's going back in history."

Do we really want to elect a president with ADD?

Again?
