The media has barely touched on the fact that DeLay pulled his father off life support years ago. This is the same man who denounced Schiavo’s husband, as well as judges, for committing “an act of barbarism,” for removing her tubes. The LA Times practically turned poetic in their article on DeLay’s family matter. Of course, what happened to DeLay’s father was sad and tragic, and devastating for the family. What’s also sad is that DeLay’s hypocrisy in the Schiavo case has met the press with nothing more than a disgruntled murmur.
In response to DeLay’s comments, W said he will "continue to put judges on the bench who strictly and faithfully interpret the Constitution." He hasn’t done it yet, so why should we believe him. Of course, the media won't dig any deeper into that comment and the story ends here. Unless, of course, DeLay resigns and W puts a liberal on the bench.
