How dare you make such a stupid lying statement. The only ones who've been helping Islamic extremists are the Bushies with their outrageous wrong-headed, poorly-planned rush to war in Iraq, their plethora of lies, their defense of torture and illegal spying, their "axis of evil" and "bring it on!" challenges, and their AWOL status in 2001 when it actually came to stopping 9-11, after they were wearned on 8-6. With leaders like these Bushies, we don't need enemies. They have made us weaker, less secure, less rich and less liked and respected. They have also exhausted and drained out military might to the point where we couldn't engage in another war if we wanted to. I might also remind you that 65% now disapprove of Bush, so this isn't about liberals. Half of that 65% are moderates and honest conservatives.

Look the lefties at work now: Schiavo story may become movie From correspondents in Los Angeles 11apr06 heraldsun.news.com.au^1702,00.html THE explosive story of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged woman who became caught in the middle of a US battle over the right to die, could become a Hollywood movie, industry reports said. A year after Schiavo died following the removal of her feeding tube, Hollywood has bought the rights to make a movie from husband Michael Schiavo's book Terri: The Truth, Daily Variety said. Schiavo died in March last year after a bitter and divisive years-long battle between Michael Schiavo and Terri Schiavo's parents over whether she should be removed her from life support. The family feud exploded into a national political battle, as politicians and religious figures weighed into the row, with one camp demanding she be kept alive and the other insisting her husband had the right to do what he said she would have wanted. "The story is almost Shakespearean in the warring of the families and the great love story between the (couple)," Marvin Minoff, one of four producers to option the rights to Mr Schiavo's book, told Daily Variety. "It starts off so beautifully and then ends so chaotically," said Minoff, who bought the movie rights along with his production partner Mike Farrel as well as with partners Lawrence Bender and Kevin Brown. Producers are not launching into writing a screenplay immediately as they are first looking to sell the project to a Hollywood studio or television company, Variety said. They want to tell Terri and Michael Schiavo's story from the beginning of their romance to the end of her life. Farrell and Minoff have worked together for nearly 20 years, producing films such as Patch Adams, with Robin Williams, while Bender has produced An Inconvenient Truth, and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Young mother Schiavo collapsed in a coma 15 years before her death, causing what an autopsy determined to be irreversible brain damage. Her husband said Schiavo would not want to be kept alive, but her parents and brother insisted there was hope that she may have recovered.
