Do as I say, not as I do

So DeLay's father passed on in a similar fashion as Schiavo will soon according to a recent report. I understand people change views as life moves forward, but it appears to me that Mr. DeLay is an extremely unprincipled man. Here are a few excerpts:

A family tragedy that unfolded in a Texas hospital during the fall of 1988 was a private ordeal — without judges, emergency sessions of Congress or the debate raging outside Terri Schiavo's Florida hospice."The situation faced by the congressman's family was entirely different than Terri Schiavo's," said a spokesman for the majority leader, who declined requests for an interview."The only thing keeping her alive is the food and water we all need to survive. His father was on a ventilator and other machines to sustain him," said Dan Allen, DeLay's press aide.There were also these similarities: Both stricken patients were severely brain-damaged. Both were incapable of surviving without medical assistance. Both were said to have expressed a desire to be spared from being kept alive by artificial means. And neither of them had a living will.

Read yourself and spin if you must, but I just report, you decide.
