Oh, I'm no doctor!

Barney Frank wins best line of the day with this gem regarding the Terri Schiavo case:

We're not doctors, we just play them on C-SPAN

Oh, and what are my thoughts on the case? Well, first I think everyone needs to go write a clear and concise living will. Second, I think we should beat one of Dr.Bill Frist's loved ones into a vegetative state and then splash their photo all over the news and call them before congress to "testify". Then we should get people with AIDS to sweat and cry on the good Doctor Frist. While we are at it, once Dr. Frist decides the world has seen too much of his loved one becoming a sideshow freak, lets get another doctor to watch a short video tape of his loved one and second guess decisions from the person who is actually giving the medical care. Oh, and then we can make sure that every person in the House and Senate who decided that this case somehow involved them are required to take care of someone in a vegatative state every day for at least one year. With no help.

That's how I feel about it.
