If she could talk like Tom DeLay

I've seen this quote from Tom DeLay in a number of places:

"She talks and she laughs and she expresses likes and discomforts," he said Sunday evening. "It won't take a miracle to help Terri Schiavo. It will only take the medical care and therapy that patients require."

Is it too crass to suggest that if Tom really believes this, he should go down to Florida and ask Terri if she wants her feeding tube removed? Maybe get her to laugh at the ridiculousness of his own statement?

At the very least, maybe he can get her to express whether she likes being used as a political pawn.
