From the News-Press:
Bush and King have been at odds in past years, but the outgoing governor credited him Wednesday for helping pass new lawsuit limits and education reforms, as well as originally supporting Bush’s attempts to keep brain-damaged Terri Schiavo alive.
King famously broke with Bush last year when Schiavo’s feeding tube was removed, and the Florida Senate refused to have it re-inserted.
Terry, who has widespread support from Christian evangelicals, is campaigning against King in his Jacksonville district specifically for fighting that bill. But Bush said Wednesday that Terry was more of a hindrance during the Schiavo ordeal than King.
"Randall Terry during that period and afterward made no positive contribution . . . related to Terri Schiavo. None," Bush said. "He was a hindrance in our effort to save this woman’s life."
