Going To The Chapel

Michael Schiavo got married yesterday.

That might not sound like a big deal, until you remember that Michael Schiavo is the widower of Terry Schiavo, whose death last March was the culmination of a huge legal battle over whether she should be kept on life support when she was in a persistent vegitative state, or whether she should be allowed to die with dignity.

Michael Schiavo all through the ordeal of his wife's illness and death comported himself with admirable dignity, and given the crap that was flung at him from the idiots on the radical right, he held up under the onslaught a hell of a lot better than I would have. And after his wife's death, the results of the autopsy fully vindicated him and made those on the right who were looking to exploit the case for partisan political reasons look like the callous insensitive jerks that they were.

Schiavo married his long-time girlfriend and mother of his two children, Jodi Centonze, in a small, private ceremony in Safety Harbor, Florida.

I wish Michael Schiavo all the best with his new marriage, with many years of health and happiness. He deserves it.
