Weekend At Terri's II

Given the weak judicial and popular box office resulting from the first Weekend At Terri's, plans to have the West O'Waco Kid, "Hammer Time" Delay, "Catkillah" Frist and all the other Roving Oprahs in Washington co-star in this weekend's sequel have, shall we say, lapsed into a persistent vegetative state.

I debated whether to start this entry with those words, but then I realized I couldn't possibly show that poor woman any more disrespect than CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and their usual necrophiliac castmembers, the Vultures of Strife, have subjected her to already.

As for any wingnut trolls out there waiting to blast me with the usual froth of feigned outrage and sanctimonious twaddle, please, spare your breath. Apparently the fact that, two weeks ago, you believed in law & order and the sanctity of marriage -- and you're suddenly willing to "go Columbine" on judges and invoke Islamic hisba to forcibly divorce Michael Schiavo from Terri -- means nothing to you. (And yes, I do fervently wish for her impending death: I think she's earned it, don't you?)

You watch: Terri Schiavo will shuffle off this mortal coil on the same damn day as the Pope. In a year, maybe the Church will even make her a saint.
