Dowd Blasts GOP for Bid to Save Terri
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd blasted Republicans on Monday for "turning over the Constitution" in a bid to prevent the starvation-execution of Terri Schiavo.
"They can't take one case like this just to please Christian conservatives and turn over the Constitution like that," Dowd told radio host Don Imus.

"Once they have done this and created, you know, this law for one person, they're going to be flooded with people who say: 'My sister-in-law's a b---h, she's not treating my brother right," she predicted.
"It's hard to tell who is less appealing: Tom DeLay or [Terri's] husband," Dowd added.
The Times scribe praised Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who excoriated Republicans over the weekend for trying to save Terri.
"It is particularly hypocritical when you have people who say they advocate on behalf of the defense of marriage who now insert themselves between a husband and his wife," Schultz railed.
"I thought she made a lot of good arguments," gushed Dowd.
