This would be funny if this wasn't such a sad, sad case that the repugs are using for political purposes. This woman is - from all reliable sources that i've seen - completely and totally brain dead. Yet, the repugs want to keep her alive, against her wishes (as her husband has stated), and have done so for the last FIFTEEN years! And now they want to bring in the NATIONAL GUARD! (Don't they know that they're all in Iraq?!) Even though the law is on the side of the husband and wife! Truly sick!
