Michael Schiavo Shopping His Book
Newsmax.com ^ | 6/17/05

Posted on 06/18/2005 5:52:16 AM PDT by veronica

Less than three months after his instructions to starve his wife to death were carried out by court order, Michael Schiavo is seeking a book deal.

Schiavo is in Manhattan, reports the New York Post - "shopping his book proposal among publishers."

"The timing couldn't be better," the Post notes, with news of his wife's autopsy on the front page of every newspaper this week.

Schiavo's book agent, David Vigliano, told the paper: "I think this is a seminal right to die with dignity story."

Schiavo's story, however, may not be over just yet.

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Friday he may ask prosecutors to probe questions about Michael's conduct on the night of his wife's collapse 15 years ago, which left her mentally disabled. :

Something dreadful happens, everyone wants to rush to write books about it and make $$$'s. I am certainly not suprised.

Except I don't think Michael believes that Terri's death was "dreadful."

I think this is a very sick thing to do.

Yes. It's just that I have heard it said that the Schindlers are the one's interested in cashing in. This would indicate that's not so...at least not exclusively.

Maybe not. He did make a lot of money off of the insurance, but unfortunately, if there is a market to sell to, he'll get rich again.

There are no morals in this. It is how to make a buck. If people are willing to spend the money, it will happen.

"Isn't Fuhrman's book also a "ka-ching" opportunity?"

So comparing the "grieving" spouses "ka-ching" to that of an impartial investigator's is reasonable?

Here's hoping he slips in the shower and bumps his head get knocked out and his current wife can starve him to death for the money he just inherited ( even if she has to lash him to the bed and duct tape his mouth shut for a month or so to keep his screams of bliss and tranquility from waking the neighbors ).

The difference is with Furhman's book you have a chance to see the reality behind the hype and lies of Mikey.

So now that Terri is really dead it turns out that their beloved MS is a capitalist after all.

The leftist MSM will be outraged.....naahh.

Certain people cannot or will not accept the truth.

He's trying to profit from his wife's murder. What a despicable human being.

I hope the last chapter of the book is entitled: "Michael Schiavo goes to prison."

Agreed. There have been times when, though we were still married, there is no way that the first Mr. Sova should have been given the power to decide if I lived or died. And to me, this is the issue--If I decided that I didn't want a certain medical procedure, that's my business. If my husband, living with two kids and a whore has an opinion, it should be overridden. I don't care what he wanted done with her, his opinion should have carried weight totally less than zero.

"I just hope he will do the right thing, even if it's for the wrong reasons."

It's too late. It was too late when he pulled down the new girl's pants.

LOL--now that would be a good chapter to read! (As long as I don't have to give Schiavo or his family the money for the book.)

Not sure what you're talking about? I was referring to Bush taking (belated) action.

Sounds like a good plot for a TWILIGHT ZONE EPISODE.

The could call it "Sweet Irony."
