Congress votes to connect Jennifer Wilbanks to a feeding tube
Satire
In an emergency midnight session both the House and the Senate voted to approve a bill that would a federal court to decide if Jennifer Wilbanks should be connected to a feeding tube. Wilbanks is the Georgia bride who recently visited Las Vegas and Albuquerque while trying to decide if marriage is right for her.
After viewing a videotape of Ms. Wilbanks Senator Bill Frist (R-TN) said, "Despite all appearances to the contrary, this woman is not in a persistent vegetative state. I should know. I am a doctor after all."
President Bush awoke from his slumber in order to sign the bill right away. "This bill protects the sacrament of life and the culture of marriage," said a very sleepy president.
Wilbanks' family members insist that Jennifer is quite capable of feeding herself but that they feel torn considering that Congress and the President went so far to help them. A federal judge is expected to throw out the case in the morning. |
