"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Tragic Catch-911 for dying woman - Los Angeles Times

Tragic Catch-911 for dying woman - Los Angeles Times: "The patient, Edith Isabel Rodriguez, was pronounced dead at 2:17 a.m., the victim of 'inexcusable' indifference by staff at King-Harbor, county health officials later acknowledged.

Rodriguez lay untreated on the ER lobby floor for 45 minutes before dying. A video camera captured the episode, showing that staffers and patients stood by as a janitor cleaned the floor around her. She was buried in Tehachapi on Tuesday."

This does not at all surprise me, given my family's experience with hospitals lately.
