The husband of Terri Schiavo was honored by a group that advocates guardianship services for his years-long efforts to get his wife's feeding tube disconnected.
Michael Schiavo was given the Guardian of the Year Award by the Florida State Guardianship Association yesterday.
Terri Schiavo lived in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years before dying in March. She died after a protracted legal battle between her husband and her parents over her end-of-life wishes.
She died from dehydration after her feeding tube was disconnected.
A Franciscan friar who serves as the Schindler family spokesman Brother Paul O'Donnell said the award was offensive.
They said Michael Schiavo was a controversial choice, but they decided to honor him because of his commitment to honoring what he says was his wife's wish to not be kept alive artificially.
>>>How could he accept something like that?
Uuuhhh, he murdered his wife. I don't think accepting an award would affect his conscience if the killing her part didn't.
This is nothing more than an "in-your-face" affront to decent people. What a bunch of creeps. Guardianship my behind!
There is no shortage of idiots.
Dont go away mad -just go away.bye bye.
Good Grief who did he murder???
In this increasingly bizarro world, I am not one iota surprised that one group after another after another steps up to just fawn on Mikey, Felon, Green-ear, and the whole death crowd. All that 'paradise' down in Flori-duh is too good to be real, and this is the catch.
He's being honored because he murdered his disabled wife.
How nice.
Well I know you were born yesterday. But what time???
BARFFFFFFFFF!!!!!
No doubt. Also Michael Jackson will become thespokesperson for Big Brothers. Scott Peterson will receive an honory Doctorate from Yale for his work against domestic violence.
The BTK killer will be asked to endorse Duct Tape. And Andrea Yates will open a daycare center at the instituion she is in. Oh will wonders never cease?

They had to give it to him. Ted Bundy's already been executed by the state.
I was horrified by the barbaric death ordered by Judge Greer and the revolting manner Michael Schiavo treated her family. Martin Katz stated it well when he said something is wrong with this country when a mother is not permitted to put water on the lips of her dying child.
It is scary that a man, who by his own words and deeds has demonstrated that he wants to torment Terri, and has a live-in mistress and illegitimate children is allowed to remain guardian.
In a related story, Jodi Centonze received an award for Best Homicidal Mistress in a Supporting Role.
This is sick! When are they presenting Hitler or Stalin with an award??
Unbelievable!! That handcart we are in is getting ever closer to hell!
Indeed.
Sickening.
"Proof"? He did it in broad daylight on the friggin' national news. Everyone who was awake at the time witnessed it. I don't need a jury verdict when I see him openly bragging about the crime.
