LARGO - Refusing to give up on the Terri Schiavo case, Gov. Jeb Bush has asked Pinellas prosecutors to sort out time discrepancies Michael Schiavo has provided regarding the hour he found his wife unconscious 15 years ago.

State Attorney Bernie McCabe has agreed to review the time elements in the case, his chief assistant, Bruce Bartlett, said Thursday.

"We are going to look into the circumstances surrounding the times," said Bartlett, who declined to label the review an investigation. "The governor has expressed concern over that aspect of the case."

Jebbie is "taking one for his brother" --- anything to continue distraction from the DSM impeachment potential.

Hey Jeb -- why don't you worry about the hurricane damaged areas of Florida and the people that still don't have places to live?????

Isn't what Jebbie doing "illegal"?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

1. Totally ignorant.

[notadmblnd]

2. Wasn't he investigated 15 years ago?

it's a little late now.. but you go right ahead jebbie... pander to those fundies down there, it's working so well.

[Hamlette]

31. Jeb believes the Schindler family, the same ones who said

Teri could laugh and talk to them right before she died. Remember them saying she said "I want to live"?

He should consider their credibility before he believes them when they say hubby waited an hour. And how incredibly unfair to make him piece together what happened that night 15 YEARS LATER!

Outrageous. The world has gone mad.

[Guckert]

3. Now we can really get to the bottom of this ??? Is this guy for real??

:puke:

[LynneSin]

4. The girl was brain-damaged, YOU were wrong, Michael & docs were right

get over it.

No better yet, spend more tax-dollars investigating this so we really piss off the voters both in Florida and across the country so we make you totally inelectable in 2008. Maybe the anger will spill over and keep that bitch Cruella de Harris out of the senate

[Quixote1818]

5. He is acting like a vindictive child nt

[PurityOfEssence]

26. Ding ding ding; the standard Bush Family M.O.

Their pettiness and juvenility is legendary. To truly understand Poppy's, Junior's and Jeb's actions, put yourself in the mindset of a privileged asshole who's 5 years old. Think of the worst recess you ever had, and remember your tormentor.

They are consumed with hatred and the hungry need to crush anyone who gets in their way, even when the issue is long past. Revenge is their meat.

[Inland]

6. So what was this "Sciavo case" all about? Life, or poltics and revenge?

The opening line is that Jeb isn't going to give up on the "Sciavo case", but she's dead, her autopsy proves that she would never have recoverd.....

But with that all stripped away, Jeb isn't going to "give up" on what the fristians really want.....destruction of the sinners. So the husband is going to get a good Ken Starr-like going over that will bankrupt him and ruin the reputation that SHOULD BE now considered spotless, thanks to the vindication he has received.

[flyarm]

10. politics and the religeous factions in that area of fla!! n/t

[flyarm]

7. jebbie has to please the christian science

faction he put in place in the whole clearwater area..and the so. baptists...if he hopes to get nomination for potus in 2008!!

[elehhhhna]

12. Isn't Clearwater the Scientologists?

[flyarm]

18. it most certainly is!!

and thats where this whole terri stuff started..at morton plant hospital right in the middle of christian science land!! headquarters!!

[elehhhhna]

24. C. Science & Scientology are very different from each other--

The latter being totally creepy, the former not so ridiculous.

[Coastie for Truth]

20. Mister Frist says Jeb can't run

Mister Frist says that Jeb is very sick - based on watching Jeb on TV talking head shows, Frist says Jeb has early signs of Parkinsons, gout, and congestive heart failure. Needs complete bed rest until after the 2008 election.

Al Franken reported it (as Katherine Lampert told him to stop - people might believe him)

21. Frist will have his own issues with his autism/vaccine/$$$/ coverup

Deadly Immunity

A Salon/Rolling Stone joint investigation.
When a study revealed that mercury in childhood vaccines may have caused autism in thousands of kids, the government rushed to conceal the data - and to prevent parents from suing drug companies for their role in the epidemic.



(Image: Salon.com)

In June 2000, a group of top government scientists and health officials gathered for a meeting at the isolated Simpsonwood conference center in Norcross, Ga. Convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the meeting was held at this Methodist retreat center, nestled in wooded farmland next to the Chattahoochee River, to ensure complete secrecy. The agency had issued no public announcement of the session - only private invitations to 52 attendees. There were high-level officials from the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration, the top vaccine specialist from the World Health Organization in Geneva, and representatives of every major vaccine manufacturer, including GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Wyeth and Aventis Pasteur. All of the scientific data under discussion, CDC officials repeatedly reminded the participants, was strictly "embargoed." There would be no making photocopies of documents, no taking papers with them when they left.

The federal officials and industry representatives had assembled to discuss a disturbing new study that raised alarming questions about the safety of a host of common childhood vaccines administered to infants and young children. According to a CDC epidemiologist named Tom Verstraeten, who had analyzed the agency's massive database containing the medical records of 100,000 children, a mercury-based preservative in the vaccines - thimerosal - appeared to be responsible for a dramatic increase in autism and a host of other neurological disorders among children. "I was actually stunned by what I saw," Verstraeten told those assembled at Simpsonwood, citing the staggering number of earlier studies that indicate a link between thimerosal and speech delays, attention-deficit disorder, hyperactivity and autism. Since 1991, when the CDC and the FDA had recommended that three additional vaccines laced with the preservative be given to extremely young infants - in one case, within hours of birth - the estimated number of cases of autism had increased fifteenfold, from one in every 2,500 children to one in 166 children.

snip
But instead of taking immediate steps to alert the public and rid the vaccine supply of thimerosal, the officials and executives at Simpsonwood spent most of the next two days discussing how to cover up the damaging data. According to transcripts obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, many at the meeting were concerned about how the damaging revelations about thimerosal would affect the vaccine industry's bottom line.

"We are in a bad position from the standpoint of defending any lawsuits," said Dr. Robert Brent, a pediatrician at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware. "This will be a resource to our very busy plaintiff attorneys in this country." Dr. Bob Chen, head of vaccine safety for the CDC, expressed relief that "given the sensitivity of the information, we have been able to keep it out of the hands of, let's say, less responsible hands." Dr. John Clements, vaccines advisor at the World Health Organization, declared flatly that the study "should not have been done at all" and warned that the results "will be taken by others and will be used in ways beyond the control of this group. The research results have to be handled."

snip
The drug companies are also getting help from powerful lawmakers in Washington. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, who has received $873,000 in contributions from the pharmaceutical industry, has been working to immunize vaccine makers from liability in 4,200 lawsuits that have been filed by the parents of injured children. On five separate occasions, Frist has tried to seal all of the government's vaccine-related documents - including the Simpsonwood transcripts - and shield Eli Lilly, the developer of thimerosal, from subpoenas. In 2002, the day after Frist quietly slipped a rider known as the "Eli Lilly Protection Act" into a homeland security bill, the company contributed $10,000 to his campaign and bought 5,000 copies of his book on bioterrorism. Congress repealed the measure in 2003 - but earlier this year, Frist slipped another provision into an anti-terrorism bill that would deny compensation to children suffering from vaccine-related brain disorders. "The lawsuits are of such magnitude that they could put vaccine producers out of business and limit our capacity to deal with a biological attack by terrorists," says Andy Olsen, a legislative assistant to Frist.

8. Is there a process by which citizens of Florida can impeach a Govenor?

If all the stuff he's doing is illegal, we ought to be able to. It would be nice to make sure he's out of the game, come the 2006 elections. We could make sure these elections are honest without somebody on top stone walling.

[cthrumatrix]

11. abuse of power ..... there must be some thing

we can have "concurrent bush impeachments" ..... delightful

[HockeyMom]

9. Do it, Jebbie

and YOUR poll numbers will be even lower than your big brother's.

Enjoy your retirement.

[flyarm]

14. hey jebbie..how about investigating all the fema money ...

you know the taxpayers money that all went to miami after the hurricanes..you know.. the miami that did not sustain "any damage" from the hurricanes..you know jebbie..the payoff money to get your brother votes by handing out taxpayers $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ like candy to those unaffected by "any " of the hurricanes!!!!!!!!!!

and how about when you investigate that..you investigate the bridge in clearwater going onto clearwater beach that was built incorrectly or the overpass by the same comapny that collapsed going to by pass tampa...how about it jebbie..more will die on those bridges than a brain dead woman !!

come on jebbie..how about investigating those bridges?? you know your christian science buddys friends!!

come on jebbie..we know about the payoffs!!

[holboz]

13. This is rediculous - let these people live in peace.

I think the majority of people in this country feel that the government has far overstepped the accepted boundaries when it comes to the Schiavo case. Let this guy be - he's been through more than enough.

I think Jeb does this at his own risk. This action will certainly come back to haunt the GOP as a whole.

[Stockholm]

15. Grandstanding on the backs of dead people...

Moral values anyone?

[Sgt. Baker]

16. morality questioned

His morality is in question after the autopsy results contradicted his beliefs. He has to find something, anyting to redeem his moral superiority. If that means putting an innocent man in jail I bet he would do it without question.

[Coastie for Truth]

17. I think it's time to investigate Jeb Bush

for all kinds of insurance and child welfare and voting irregularities. And what about wannabe Nobel Laureate MISTER William Hammesfahr and long distance tv diagnostician MISTER Bill Frist.

Nobel Wannabe Hammesfahr touts his nerosurgery patent in his -- folks it's US Patent 6258032 for an iv delivery system for a vasodialator for pain management.

<>Mister Hammesfahr - Pain Management.

And people say we're weird in California. Florida is really bizzaro.

[flyarm]

19. ohhh its way past time for that!!!

start with greg palasts "globalization"..and jebbies hand in the collapse of argentina and "enron deal " for argentinas oil..that jebbie got all the kick backs for!!

yes jebbie brokered that deal for enron!!

[oldcoot]

23. How many children has DCF lost in Florida?

Florida tax payers should ask themselves how much of their tax dollars are being used on this one case and whether or not this money would be better used to help others.

[Obamanaut]

30. Might as well throw in Fla Dept of Corrections as well.

Aramark was awarded the food service contract for Fla Dept of Corrections in 2002. Aramark also donated $44,500 to Jeb Bush's 2002 election capmaign.

[CBHagman]

22. This is beyond disgusting.

Nothing but an attempt to exploit a tragedy for preening, strutting, ambitious-as-Lucifer :evilfrown: politician. And these clowns keep moving the goalposts.

The woman was the victim of a tragedy. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS, creep.

[jean]

25. someone PLEASE get a statement from Jeb's son, George P Bush

(who WILL be a repub political contender), making him take a stand on the Schiavo issue?

Jeb can shoot himself in the foot all he likes but there would be real value in tainting his son with the stench.

27. Political Prosecution!!! Wow, don't make the Gubneer look bad or else

[applegrove]

28. Scapegoat Scapegoat Scapegoat Scapegoat Scapegoat!

Seriously if my daughter was starving herself to make herself look pretty for her husband..I would want to knock him over the head too. But then I should have noticed her thinness too. The religious right needs to help the Shiavos work on their tremendous loss and heal and move one.
