I'm Bailing Out On This Mae Magouirk Story

I don't like it. It's aimed too much at the internet and not enough at politicians and mainstream media. Which means it has internet hoax written all over it. I might be wrong but, if I am, somebody has to prove it to me and Ken Mullinax (the nephew of Mae Magouirk) isn't doing it yet. Here's the email I received from Ken this evening:

Mike:

Here is a mainstream newspaper story on my Aunt Mae.
It is today's article by her hometown paper of LaGrange, Ga. which objectively and accurately lays out the facts.

Thanks for reviewing it. Your opinion matters to me!

Nephew of Mae Magouirk

The rest of the email is a cut and paste of the news story from the following URL:

My email reply to Ken, expressed with all due respect to him and to his family, is that I'm not buying it yet. I need to know why no political official or mainstream media outlet has been called in on this. I also asked him the question suggested by Just One Minute:

Are you the Ken Mullinax who did press relations for Democrats Ike Hilliard and Bill Fuller?

I told Ken he has 6 hours to respond or I'm done pushing his aunt's story. . . .

and this comment, from JustOneMinute:

Straight Up with Sherri has lots more - scroll around. And here is an interesting comment, from which I excerpt this:

The details are many, but in short, the grandmother is not being denied anything, but refuses herself to eat (there never was a feeding tube).

it's true, when you google the name Mae Magouirk you don't find much besides RW blog entries.

I'm starting to think this is another wingnut case that has been distorted all to hell. btw, the lawyer for the Schiavo family has volunteered his services on this case. all those professional, temporarily out-of-work "cult of life" agitators again have a goldmine! when do the jugglers arrive?
