The Right to Rise super PAC helping Jeb Bush is airing an ad in South Carolina that features a photo of Terri Schiavo, the brain dead Pinellas County woman, who died 10 years ago despite Bush's efforts to halt the removal of her feeding tubes. The ad features a picture of Mrs. Schiavo as well as an image of what appears to be someone at the vigil outside her hospice holding a Jeb! campaign sign.

Says the narrator: "He's a man of deep faith who fought time and again for the right to life."

"It is simply disgusting that Jeb Bush and his super Pac would exploit my wife’s tragedy for his crude political gain.  Shame on Jeb Bush," said Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband, who said she did not want to be kept alive in that state and was repeatedly challenged by Bush and Schiavo's parents and siblings.

Oh ya!  I saw jeb a week or so ago in a interview. (by mistake....couldn't get to the remote fast enough!) the first thing out of his mouth was how he was a champion for the unborn and infirm.

In fairness to Bush, the ad is not from him, but rather the PAC which supports. The PAC and the official campaign are not supposed to coordinate efforts.

As for Michael Schiavo, I imagine he throws up in his mouth a little when he says, "It is simply disgusting that Jeb Bush and his super Pac would exploit my wife’s tragedy..." given his role in her death.
