Well it's offical Jeb Bush is firmly in the hands of the Religious Right.

Gov. Jeb Bush asked a prosecutor Friday to investigate why Terri Schiavo collapsed 15 years ago, calling into question how long it took her husband to call 911 after he found her.
In a letter faxed to Pinellas-Pasco County State Attorney Bernie McCabe, Bush said Michael Schiavo testified in a 1992 medical malpractice trial that he found his wife collapsed at 5 a.m., and he said in a 2003 television interview that he found her about 4:30 a.m. He called 911 at 5:40 a.m.
"Between 40 and 70 minutes elapsed before the call was made, and I am aware of no explanation for the delay," Bush wrote. "In light of this new information, I urge you to take a fresh look at this case without any preconceptions as to the outcome."

Now Felos, Michael Lawyer is stunned of course:
It's absolutely preposterous," Felos said. "If he had waited 70 minutes she would have been dead."
So why is Bush doing this, because he's an idiot, well that might be true but it's not the real reason.
He's doing this because he's firmly in the hands of the religious right and he must be embarassed about what an ass he made of himself. So what can we do to help. I think 80% of the population would think this is crazy and I think we should tie republicians to this investigation.
What an idiot...I hope this becomes big News.
[Update] The Media is picking up on this fast. The AP article that is being spread around the world is one of the most lopsided pieces I have seen.
The thing that really pisses me off is that something like this....a Governor doing something unjust and horrible to please a special interest gets about 200 stories in 30mins and something like the DSM gets so few hits for so long....I'm happy that some places are picking the story up.
