You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Neither can Michael Schiavo.

Why is the media salivating over Schiavo as he travels around the country exploiting the death of his wife? He's not news, he's an opportunist.

Is he serious when he claims to be a "live and let live" guy?

He obviously didn't want his wife to live under any circumstances and did everything possible to insure that she would die, denying her virtually everything over the last dozen years of her life after he met Jodi Centonze and asked her to marry him.

One problem though, he still had a wife and bigamy is illegal in Florida.

But then so is murder as well as assisted suicide and euthanasia.

He's like a broken record, so phony and insincere, it's repulsive.

His act is transparent and politicians would do well to stay their distance from him, lest he taint them and many are already wise to that, realizing that he's like the kiss of death and don't want to align themselves with him.

Schiavo can't even be a man, whining and being a crybaby, sniffling and snorting rudely as he stumbles through his script. Those crocodile tears that he's shedding are no more than an insincere show of sympathy. Crocodiles were once thought to "weep" large tears before they ate their victims.


Terri Schiavo was a victim, but not a victim of the Republicans as Michael Schiavo wants you to believe. Terri Schiavo was a victim of Michael Schiavo, in death just as she was in life.

The Republicans didn't exploit Terri Schiavo. Michael Schiavo did and does and seems to forget that the Senate vote to save the life of the brain damaged woman was unanimous. Democrats as well as Republicans voted for the case to have a de novo review in federal court.

Schiavo continued his political vendetta this week, appearing Monday before the Collier County Democratic Club in Southwest Florida. Newspapers in the area said that 150 to 200 people attended but it appeared to be more out of curiosity than because of political interests. Schiavo's political appearances are more like a circus sideshow than having a serious political impact. He's a legend in his own mind.

He appeared in Colorado in June in support of Peggy Lamm, Congressional candidate who got trounced in the primary after Schiavo endorsed her. He made a big show in Connecticut endorsing Ned Lamont, running against veteran Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman. Although Lamont pulled out a primary upset, strangely enough Lieberman is ahead in the polls as they head towards the November election with Republicans emerging in force to support Lieberman.

What's extremely telling is that none of the politicians in Pennsylvania, Schiavo's native state, want any part of him and haven't invited him to become involved in the races there.

One Pennsylvania political consultant, Larry Ceiseler, astutely summed up the situation why he's not welcome, saying that "Michael Schiavo is radioactive".

He's like a ticking time bomb. People and particularly politicians are wisely starting to distance themselves from him and people are starting to laugh at his antics. Actually, it's not laughable, it's pitiful that once again he has put himself before Terri Schiavo, boldly stating that he's on his march against Republicans because his nose is out of joint that people are still questioning his veracity and his motives both of which smelled then and stink worse now.

He says he's a normal person. Right, how many other people do you know that have tried to kill their wife by sepsis and when that didn't work, hired an attorney to get the deed done? George Felos, the euthanasia attorney hired by Schiavo with his wife's therapy money was no more than a hit man, hired to accomplish legalized murder with the complicity and conspiracy of Pinellas County probate judge George W. Greer, Pinellas County Sheriff Everett Rice, Attorney General Charlie Crist and Pinellas County state attorney Bernie McCabe.

Schiavo is particularly incensed at President George Bush(left) and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (right)because they believe that any error should be on the side of life. Michael Schiavo didn't have clean hands in his march to kill his wife. There simply wasn't clear and convincing evidence that Terri Schiavo wanted to die. In fact, the evidence was overwhelmingly to the contrary.

Michael Schiavo, who went on Larry King Live and talked about his wife's gynecological exam and prying her legs apart says that the Republicans took away his wife's dignity. Michael Schiavo is the epitome of a hypocrite.

Schiavo's story continues to change every time he tells it. It's like the fish story, the more times he tells it, the more he exaggerates, the bigger the fish grows. In an interview with NBC.2.com, Schiavo sat with his hand in his crotch and played the poor Michael song. Rude, crude and crass aptly describes Schiavo who still can't bother to wear a tie and appear even remotely professional. VIDEO LINK

He's like a whining little kid, intoning over and over, "they started the fight, not me". Wrong, Michael, another lie by you. Why do people who lie seem to think that if they repeat the same lie enough times it will became true by default?

Michael Schiavo started this whole affair which has now led to his pathetic political pandering in 1995 when he retained George Felos to kill his wife by court approval, in 1998 when he filed the petition in Pinellas County probate court for permission to remove his wife's feeding tube, trying to sneak it through without telling her parents.

And he's manufacturing the number of judges and courts that he involved in his efforts to kill his wife like he invented witnesses from his own family who supposedly heard Terri say that she would want to die rather than be at home with her family taking care of her.

Schiavo has now upped the number of judges involved in the case to 31 and courts to 19. Schiavo's numbers even contradict those of Felos who had said that Terri should die because 19 judges had reviewed the case and had agreed with him and Schiavo, upholding Greer's death decree. Now Schiavo has swelled the number to 31.

Schiavo says he's hell bent against all Republicans. He didn't seem to have a problem with lifelong Republican George Greer.

Schiavo was on Michael Smerconish's Philadelphia radio show this week too, playing the poor Michael part again, again demonstrating his exploitation of Terri and forcing himself on the public because of "what they did to me". Oh, woe is me, they made me spend all of Terri's money on legal fees to kill her and now there's nothing left for me, cries Schiavo. Boo hoo.

Move on, Schiavo. If you were truly overwrought with grief, you'd stay home with your family and get out of the limelight. Terri's family was and are the Schindlers, not you. Stop the charade.

Michael Schiavo says that "people are starting to see through" the whole thing. That's right, they are. Each time Michael Schiavo shows himself in the public and opens his mouth, more and more people in America are starting to realize just what a hypocritical charlatan he is.

"Michael Schiavo is the Voldemort of the Santorum-Casey race", Smerconish said in ending his radio show. "He whose name shall not be mentioned" and said that "no one in these high profile races will invite Schiavo to come into town". Smart decision.

Lord Voldemort is the fictional arch-villain of the Harry Potter series, an evil wizard bent on securing unmatched power and achieving immortality through the practice of the Dark Arts.

No doubt Schiavo would love to attack Rick Santorum, senior senator from Pennsylvania, being challenged by Bob Casey but Casey is wise enough to stay away from Schiavo.

In his column for the Bonita News, Tom Hanson called Schiavo the "poor man's Kevin Federline, someone with a bad rap who is trying to capitalize on his wife's fame" and says that "with each political endorsement, with each talk show appearance, Michael Schiavo continues to throw dirt on her memory".

The more Michael Schiavo talks, the more the world learns what kind of person he really is.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. 8-24-06
