Thuggery? Odious? Shocking? Disgusting?

Yesterday, after being witness to the execution of Judge Greer?s court ordered death-by-starvation on Terri Schiavo, the lawyer representing her husband Michael came out before a group of reporters to inform them that the order had been carried out. In his typical condescending attitude, attorney George Felos lambasted the House Government Reform Committee on their attempt to save Terri?s life. At the end of his statement to the press, Felos said...

"What we experienced today in the subpoena issued by the United States House of Representatives is nothing short of thuggery. ...It was odious, it was shocking it was disgusting and I think all Americans should be alarmed about that."

Thuggery? Odious? Shocking? Disgusting?

Mr. Felos, you haven?t the first clue on what thuggery is, much less what?s shocking, odious or disgusting!

You know what thuggery is? Thuggery is keeping those who love Terri Schiavo from being at her side to give her the comfort and care she needs and forcibly depriving this individual of food and water so that she can die a gruesomely agonizing death, all for the benefit of her husbands happiness.

You know what?s odious? What?s odious is the fact that the maternal family of that brain damaged woman has spent the past 15 years fighting against your client to get legal guardianship so that they can offer her the loving care, medical treatment and rehabilitation that she legally deserves which your client has continually denied her and you have gone to bat for, making sure that they would never get the opportunity to do so either!

You know what?s shocking? What?s shocking is the fact that there?s a woman lying severely brain damaged in a Florida hospice bed who might have ended up there at the hands of her intimidating schmuck of a husband who has been living with another woman, has two kids by her and has spent the past decade trying to kill his wife by starvation!

You know what?s disgusting? What?s disgusting is the fact that there are more bad laws in this country than there are good ones and there will always be heartless selfish snakes like you lingering behind courthouse dumpsters and waiting for the next opportunity to jump out, take advantage of those bad laws and profit off the misery and death of others!

You must be a sick, deranged and gutless man to go before a bunch of reporters, speak out in such an ill fashion against a government that is scrambling at these final moments trying to stop the inhumane brutality which you, your client and an arrogant Florida judge are trying to perpetrate, without nary a single voice of protest within earshot of your podium.

God have mercy on your soul! There is simply no excuse for your ignorant callousness!

Shortly before 9:00pm EST on Saturday night, the AP reported that Congress has indeed reached a consensus on the wording of the legislation intended to keep Terri alive while her case is reviewed in the federal court system. President Bush will be flying in from Texas on Sunday to sign the bill into law.

Don?t worry Terri, the cavalry is on the way!
