On 4/4, The Weekly Standard's take was that the reason people thought it was written by Republicans was because the media told them so. Let's see what they say now.

Well, I for one am shocked SHOCKED that a representative (er Senator but the since the Senates been debased by democracy...) of the people would use a families tragedy to further party politics and then blame it on a staffer! What has this world come to?

Martinez said he earlier had been assured by aides that his office had nothing to do with producing the memo. "I never did an investigation, as such," he said. "I just took it for granted that we wouldn't be that stupid. It was never my intention to in any way politicize this issue."
Yeah, right. He resigned because a) it came out, and b) he was wrong about the political bonuses the R's would get from interfering. Martinez knew. Here's a profile of him from 2004:

When challenged, Martinez was too eager to assign blame to his staff or to groups he said he couldn't control. As a senator, he will need an office and a staff that speaks with the measured and centrist tone he says will be his own. He can't pretend to be above it all if the people he employs are not.

This looks pretty fishy to me.
They had to fight tooth and nail for years to get Teri's feeding tube removed when there was no living will and clear power of attorney. And here, the tube was removed despite the will and questionable power?
I know it's Georgia but....

The phrases "broken clock" and "twice a day" come to mind. This only proves that WND's not a DIGITAL clock.
