Terri Schiavo's Husband Remarries

[DeclinetoState]

1 hour, 1 minute ago
SAFETY HARBOR, Fla. - Michael Schiavo, whose brain-damaged wife was at the center of a contentious end-of-life battle that played out on a worldwide media stage, has remarried, family members said.

Schiavo married his longtime girlfriend Jodi Centonze on Saturday in a private church ceremony, said John Centonze, the brother of the bride.

Schiavo's former wife, Terri, died in March after her feeding tube was removed. She had suffered irreversible brain damage after collapsing at age 26 in 1990.

Safety Harbor? The name of that place, when connected to Michael Schiavo, makes my skin crawl as much as the name of Ted Kennedy's dog.

Interesting how this comes out on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

I guess the ashes are sufficiently cold now.

The title for this is wrong ... should read "Terri Shiavo's MURDERER Remarries." Not that it matters -- him [Michael] and her [Jodi] were live in lovers, shacking up, parenting children out of wedlock WHILE he was still legally married to Terri ... what's the big deal about a scrap of paper NOW?

One thing, that new wife better be watching her back :crazy: , he doesn't have as good a track record with wives as he does with girlfriends. :smirky:

[Beowulf]

I think Jodi needs to be careful for she may be Terri's next victim.

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:smirky: They were married in a church!? I'm surprised the asshole & the whore believe in God.

[Rink]

Hope authorities are keeping track of who Mr Schiavo takes out life insurance on.

[DeclinetoState]

This is wrong: "[H]im and her [Jodi] were live in lovers"
The correct statement is: "[H]im and her were shacking up"

Sorry if it sounds like I'm channeling Dr. Laura, but I'm not willing to give this cretin any slack.

What everyone has said or implied about the new Mrs. Schiavo's life expectancy.

Okay, I fixed mine, you wanna fix yours? :smirky: (Gee, I always thought if a couple were live-in lovers, they WERE shacking up!?! Show's what I know, eh? LOL)

What about what everyone has said or implied about the new Mrs. Schiavo's life expectancy? :smirky:


(I'm sorry ... I'm tired, and when I'm tired I get giddy and slap-happy. I'm also procrastinating because I do not want to go to bed ... that means tomorrow will come too soon and it's back to the daily grind, LOL)

[Teenager]

I wonder if she's rich....

It may be a lot shorter than it was before.

[pepsipaul]

I don't think I should get into this subject, my opinion on Terri isn't probably what you guys/girls want to hear.

[Melz]

I don't think I should get into this subject, my opinion on Terri isn't probably what you guys/girls want to hear.

Given the way you e-spoke about it just now, that is probably true. Atlhough honestly, we had a mixed bag of emotions about this when it was happening, crossing political lines.

And no one wants you to not give your opinion here, go ahead. Just be ready (as I am sure you are) for what is spoken in response to it.

[Republican_Legion]

The title for this is wrong ... should read "Terri Shiavo's MURDERER Remarries."

I agree but it would piss off 'culture of death' crowd since we seem to have so many here.

http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/images/icons/biggrin.gif And that should bother me, why? LOL

[cerberus]

So he remarried, so what? The man's not allowed to get on with his life and try to live normally with the mother of his kids? I don't see what all the fuss is about.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

I don't see what all the fuss is about.

And therein lies the problem, :smirky:

[omegatrump]

I would bet Shivo won't botch the strangle hold on the next one, even though it gave him his place of infamy. Can you imagine trying to kill your wife as many times as he did and have her to still be there keeping you from collecting the insurance?

If he hadn't have had the support of all of those Republican appointed judges, he never would have succeeded.

[cerberus]

And therein lies the problem, :smirky: Well then it's your problem, not mine, and not Mr. Schiavo's either. :licky:

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Well then it's your problem, not mine, and not Mr. Schiavo's either. :licky:

No, it was Terri's. She was the one that was murdered. And it will be ALL our problems when the culture of death presides over the sanctity of life. If you can't see that, then the problem does lie with you, also.

[cerberus]

No, it was Terri's. She was the one that was murdered. And it will be ALL our problems when the culture of death presides over the sanctity of life. If you can't see that, then the problem does lie with you, also.
Terri Schiavo's problems ended when she died in 1990 and her frontal cortex disintigrated. Ending life support is not murder no matter how loudly and often it's screamed. Period.
What I see is a bunch of people trying to impose their views of morality and what constitutes life on others, and that is my problem. What isn't is a man whose wife is dead from re-marrying and getting on with his life.

So you're saying Terri wasn't alive?

So you're saying "life" should be judged upon the measure of quality?

Of financial burden?

Of some arbitrary point by a physician (note I did NOT say anything about brain death -- she was not brain DEAD or her body would not have continued to function).

Terri did not require breathing apparatus, and her bodily functions worked on their own. Terri's body was able to process sustenance as your or I. By removing the feeding & hydration tubes she was slowly starved and dehydrated, to death.

Just because you didn't "agree" with her quality of life, doesn't mean she wasn't alive. NO ONE'S right to life should be negated under such ambiguous and suspicious criteria.

[jag]

I don't think I should get into this subject, my opinion on Terri isn't probably what you guys/girls want to hear.
I think your probably right and can half way agree with you. I see no reason to be judgmental at this point. He married his mistress, lots of men do.

[Riverboat]

I guess the ashes are sufficiently cold now. Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats
Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.

This is wrong: "[H]im and her [Jodi] were live in lovers"
The correct statement is: "[H]im and her were shacking up"
Tsk, tsk. Both are wrong. It should be rendered thus:

He and she were live-in lovers.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Tut, tut! The funereal-baked meats did coldly furnish forth the wedding banquet.


Tsk, tsk. Both are wrong. It should be rendered thus:
He and she were live-in lovers.

I was simply applying a bit of creative alliteration, :smirky:

[Riverboat]

Dash it all, Higgins! You quoted my misquote! I had to go back and make sure I had the line from Hamlet right. I corrected it. Looks like you'll have to reedit your post quoting me quoting Shakespeare.

Got all that? ;)

cerb,
You win. It's over, it's done with, she's gone. Chalk one up for the culture of death.

[Riverboat]

And, by the way, everything the lady said. . .


:ditto: :patriot:

[Riverboat]

I was simply applying a bit of creative alliteration, :smirky: I get it. I'm dense. It's Jerry Springer-speak.

[cerberus]

cerb,
You win. It's over, it's done with, she's gone. Chalk one up for the culture of death. Nobody won on this one, but I will chalk up one for the rule of law, spousal rights and death with some modicum of dignity.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Nobody won on this one

You are right, nobody won. We all lose.

[DeclinetoState]

I get it. I'm dense. It's Jerry Springer-speak.You're a teacher, right, 'Boat? Isn't that about the level of English you sometimes hear in the classroom? (At least there are no f-words in it.)

"They were shacking up": is everyone happy?

No?

Nobody won on this one, but I will chalk up one for the rule of law, spousal rights and death with some modicum of dignity.

Let's see about that:

Judges kept finding reasons to declare "Terri's Law" unconstitutional.
A spouse has a right to kill his wife with impunity, so long as he can convince a judge she's brain-dead?
I didn't know there was dignity in being murdered by your spouse who wants you out of the way in order to get on with his life with a shack-up girlfriend.We are sick, twisted and warped if we don't smell something rotten here.

[omegatrump]

You are right, nobody won. We all lose.

We all lose! In the end God will have the last word. He won't lose.

[TechnoPrincess]

I think this is sad. I also think it's sad how much this case has torn people apart. Homes is right, we have all lost in regards to this case. No matter what side you were on, it is sad.

[omegatrump]

Nobody won on this one, but I will chalk up one for the rule of law, spousal rights and death with some modicum of dignity.

I wonder if you could fit in to your other constant lines: Killing for convenience is like raping for civility? or something along that line.

[MSGT]

Ending life support is not murder no matter how loudly and often it's screamed. Period. If food and water are 'life support' we can kill anyone.
Judges kept finding reasons to declare "Terri's Law" unconstitutional. That would have been their 'out' but they never declared it unconstitutional they just ignored it.

[USPatriot8320]

While the loss of life is always sad, I think this case was a real eye opener to everyone. It opened my eyes to make sure that in any event what I want gets done. Even at a young age, you never know what could happen.

Death is not dignified, I dont care HOW you slice it, dyin is never 'dignified'

And starving someone on purpose against their will is NOT in MY book 'dignified' whatsoever

[cerberus]

Suprising that someone so religious would seem to fear death so much. Of course I disagree and think there are definatly ways of dying that are dignified (with family and friends around saying goodbye) and those that are disgraceful and sad (dying a slow death alone through alzheimers at some run-down state facility).

Saying that she thinks that death is not dignified in no way indicates that she fears death. The two are completely different subjects even. The incredibility of life makes any death undignified. That is my opinion of course, although I am sure many religious folks even share it.

Where we go after life is "dignified" dear, how our physical lives end never is.

[Timberwolf]

cerberus...where did Rink mention FEAR? I only see reference to "not dignified"...for your benefit...

I always like to say that Michael Schiavo is just another Scott Peterson.... except in a craftier, uglier way.

(1) Christians do not fear death. However, we do believe (usually) in the letting people live if they haven't committed a crime and there's conflicting reports on that person's well-being.
(2) My grandpa has Parkinson's disease. And he not dying a disgraceful death(as you seem to imply). But he has become far more noble in this disease than he has been before.

[MN_homebrewer]

Savage once called advocacy groups for autism a conspiracy to take more of our money. But a woman with no cerebral cortex, as MRI confirmed on Schiavo, is has rights and should be kept from dying? That day, Savage got on the air with his ChristiaNazi buddy Randall Terry. Schiavo didn't die in 2005, she died in 1990!

Autistic persons can lead happy and productive lives. Sciavo was a vegetable, which you can keep alive indefinitely with the right life support.

Wake up, people! (where's that alarm clock icon?)

[SmellyFed]

I don't know anyone who actually listens to Michael Savage - he's a radio troll, much like Rhandi Rhodes.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

That you don't value life, doesn't mean WE shouldn't. The issue is not Michael Savage, and personally I couldn't care less what he thinks/says.

You are free to your opinion, but Terri Schiavo was starved and dehydrated to death, period. Food and water are NOT life support, they are basic life necessities -- EVERYBODY needs them. I refuse to get into an arguement over this.

I just hope Mr. Schiavo's "new" wife knows what she's getting into. Wonder if she has money? Guess it doesn't matter, he has Terri's now. He better live it up, for there will come a time he will pay for his crime.

[Aethariel]

He better live it up, for there will come a time he will pay for his crime.

Ah, the eternal Christian fantasy: that people will get tortured in the afterlife for doing things the Christian doesn't like today. I wish my ethical worldview could only be so convenient and naive. Alas.

If you were to do something like what Terri's asshole did, I would wish you to suffer intolerable hell on earth, Aeth. Do you feel better now?

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

It doesn't matter to me if you believe it, and you are free to your opinion of my naiveté, doesn't change it's truth.

BTW, it just may be that belief in Divine Justice that keeps many from doling out the earthly rewards Mr. Schiavo so rightly deserves, :smirky: .

[brilliantLiberal]

Anyone who thought Michael Schiavo cared about his wife is a fool. You do not withold basic care from someone you supposedly love. Isn't it amazing how when he was demanding millions from a jury that he swore she needed to be cared for until she died of old age, then as soon as he got the money he began to try and kill her?

Isn't amazing how one finding of fact by one judge can override even a congressional order to have another finding?

Isn't amazing how a husband who is intentionally withholding treatment from his wife, even physical therapy, who is shacked up and having kids with another woman, and who is on record as wishing his wife to be dead could be deemed by any court in the world to be a suitable guardian?

We all knew Michael Schiavo was planing to marry his shack up tramp as soon as he got rid of his wife. We shouldn't be surprised to hear of it. What I wonder, though, is why any church would allow such a person to marry within its walls. Certainly, they are devoid of any standards.

Yes, and it's an eternal comfort to me that some cultists are more peaceable than others. The Middle East could use a nice dose of such a serene cosmic outlook. But it's disturbing nevertheless, that so many people create fantasy moral universes to absolve themselves of their own immediate ethical responsibilities.

:moo: I couldn't agree more.

:idea: That sure sounds like a good description of Michael Schiavo.

It's a good description of most libs, period. Though there is a lot of overlap between them and the pro-abortion clowns.
