[Correction: Where's my mind? I was TV-blogging! Doah!!!!]

Today I was part of a two-man interview given by MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer about all the activity in the Blogosphere over the Terri Schiavo case. Jeff Jarvis, president & creative director of Advance.net who blogs at Buzzmachine was the other blogger interviewed, and we were reacting just minutes after it had been announced that Terri’s feeding tube HAD been removed, so it was a delicate, but poignant time for this interview.

Jarvis was going on about the escalating division between the left and right bloggers over the issue and how much the rhetoric was heating up and how nasty it was becoming. Asked about this, I responded that I didn’t really know about all that as I was still involved in the support movement, focusing on the save Terri sites & blogs and in passing info on to my readers.

My first time being interviewed on “live” TV (via phone), I blanked on Jarvis’ last segment, but having been given the last word, I stated that the center-right bloggers are very concerned about the legal precedents that are being set in this case that would further support the “right to die” movement, hastening the day when it would be normal to euthanize the brain damaged and other handicapped people. That was it, the segment was over.

I don’t know why they called “little ol’ me”, but I hope that in my few minutes of commentary I did the “save Terri” movement some justice. If I can ever find a transcript of the segment, I’ll post that as an update. (db)

Other bloggers are continuing the fight to save Terri:

The Anchoress reminds us that the most important, tide turning battles are usually the hardest and tells us we had better not despair:

You people better not lose heart! You buck up and snap out of it, right now! Don’t make me go all Pattonesque on your asses!

Captian Ed has kept his large audience updated through out the day on Terri’s plight and continues to urge all to go to Blogs for Terri to stay informed of the latest developments.

And Michelle Malkin, as usual, is keeping current with updates, links, and a plea for all to “pray for Terri”, now that she is no longer being nourished.

If it’s not a crime, then what is it? (db)
