Florida's embarrassment to the Senate, Mel Martinez, is having second thoughts about his zealous actions during the Terri Schiavo circus of life. He tells WaPo the issue probably should have been resolved at the state level after all. The reason for his internal review? The autopsy showing the severely brain damaged woman could not have recovered from her injuries, and could not have swallowed food and water, no matter what extraordinary measures were taken.
The news hasn't shaken most of Freeperdom, nor has it caused Schiavo's parents or her attorney, who made a fool of himself on Olbermann's show last night, to change their view. But for the sane world, the debate on Terri Schiavo has long been over. She was beyond repair, apparently cortically blind, incapable of recognizing her parents, responding to her siblings, or declaring her wish to live on. Her husband was right (and there's no evidence he abused her), her parents were wrong. End of debate, right?
