As if there were any doubt that the Bush Brothers (who are one "Moe" more plentiful than the Pep Boys*) played politics with who lived and who died in Florida, this should resolve the question:
"Fifteen years after brain damage put Terri Schiavo in a persistent vegetative state, the Florida Department of Children and Families went to excruciating lengths to block the removal of a feeding tube that was sustaining her. Fifteen days after a toddler was beaten nearly to death despite DCF cataloging numerous alarming signs of abuse, the agency began seeking a Do-Not-Resuscitate order for her.
"I thought she would potentially live in a vegetative state," DCF's chief medical director told The Post two months after examining 2-year-old Moesha Sylencieux on Jan. 26, 2001...
...Gov. Bush has appointed two more secretaries to lead DCF since the agency initially mishandled Moesha's case under Ms. Kearney, but an unfair practice of valuing some lives more than others continues to hurt some of the neediest and most fragile Floridians. In 2003, after failing to protect a severely mentally retarded woman from being raped while in state custody, DCF fought to save the woman's fetus. Similarly, late last month, after failing to protect a 13-year-old in state custody from becoming pregnant, DCF fought to save the girl's fetus. While the state was fighting fiercely to save the unborn, it continued quietly fighting — using private lawyers — to avoid financial responsibility for a living child, one irreversibly harmed while dependent on the state for protection.
And as Richard Cranium tells us, on this day, some mothers watch their teenage children be detained incommunicado by the United States government because of religious profiling. A "Dear Leader" action seemingly designed out of a Michelle Malkin daydream.
What mother could not be proud of such idealistic and doughty boys?
*NOTE: to my knowledge no Pep Boy Brother ever did anything untoward with a lady of the evening, though I like to imagine Manny was quite the 'playa' in his time, he is just that handsome.**
Yes, I imagined that...I'm that pathetic.
** Further NOTE to Pep Boy Lawyers, this post is a parody. Attaturk has the highest respect for Moe, Manny, and especially, the underpraised Jack. Further, if you could find it in your hearts to send me a free pack of wiper blades for a 2000 Maxima that would be great. You can reach me at "attaturk2004@yahoo.com". P.S. I'm also available to write gags about "Auto Zone".
