I wouldn't exactly say I missed it, Bob...
Well, we never got to watch CNN's appalling mindnumbing "Inside the Blogs" segment last night. It was pre-empted by Michael Schiavo's lawyer calling House rethugs "worse than Stalin's Politburo" and the Democrats gutless wimps.

"It is absolutely shocking that, according to the House of Representatives, any committee member or subcommittee member can issue a subpoena directed to any American forcing them to have medical treatment against their will. Congress can't even -- Congress itself can't even pass a constitutional law to that effect, yet, a committee chairman can issue a subpoena, supposedly forcing medical treatment. It was odious, it was shocking, it was disgusting, and I think all Americans should be very alarmed about that.

"To think that your parent or loved one could be in a nursing home and a hospital and a Congressman can issue a subpoena forcing you to have your love one treated against their will is absolutely shocking and the lowest -- just the lowest type of political strong-arming."
And then he really let them have it.
