Gone, gone...
... Terri Schiavo's body has finally gone the way of what made her her, but I don't see the battlefield clearing too quickly. The general public is wrung out on the story, but the news media never likes to walk away from a cash cow and there are many reputations that have been put on the line during this battle. That appellate Judge Stanley Birch Jr. rebuked the White House and the primarily GOP-driven legislature for such a high level of improper interference isn't likely to be quickly forgotten by those officials.
That the parents were denied access during the final moments seems harsh on the face of it, but I'm not sure how much of a problem they may have been making of themselves, and it wasn't as if she passed away on a schedule. The level of attentiveness of a guard on duty outside a room door and one inside a room to make sure no one tried to slip a temporary IV line in are two very different things. At least in the story above and in her obituaries they're emphasizing photos of Terri when she was still a person.
Hey, how did I miss the juggler?
