This is just a huge distraction from the real issue of whether pulling the feeding tube was the right thing to do. But then of course, that is the intention...
And another thing: Is anyone shocked that political hacks (staffers, etc.) might be looking into how this would play politically? Believe it or not, somebody actually has to do that.
Anyway, does Salon remember when Hackie Goldberg (malcontent lesbian State Assemblywoman, late of LA City Council) was caught saying into a microphone she didn't know was on that "a bad economy would be good for Democrats right now" a couple of years ago?
I don't remember Salon doing a story on it.
