Bad News For Michael: Blogger "Remembers" Terri Told Him She Wanted Him To Have Her Million Dollars

I guess sudden recollections can sometimes bite ya in the ass, huh?:

Our senior editor Pluto's Dad remembers the conversation very well. It was over drinks at the Mahi-Tiki restaurant in Orlando, Florida. You were out of town that weekend, and she wanted to meet our editor to discuss life and death issues, since those were her favorite topic and talked about them all the time.

She seemed very upset that you might end up with too much money, she believed money was corrupting and would be bad for you. She wanted you to be comfortable, but not too comfortable, you know what we mean?

We are sorry we didn't remember this until now, but it just suddenly came to us. I guess with all the hubbub we just plumb forgot! I'm sure you understand. You yourself forgot your wife wanted to die for several years, then suddenly remembered once you received the judgement for 1.6 million. Just like you suddenly remembered she wanted to be cremated after her parents asked for an autopsy.

Too bad it's not true. Too bad no court would even entertain this sort of late-in-the-game "recollection" of hearsay statements when it comes to money.

As regards the ending of a human life: eh, what the hell. Good enough.

He's Obviously Fond of Litigation Update: As they say, no matter how hard I try to be as cynical as possible, I just can't keep up.

Temple of Jennifer/Demure Thoughts wonders if Michael's next lawsuit will be against the doctors who diagnosed Terri as PVS, if an autopsy should prove that diagnosis wrong.

I don't think so, myself... the guy did everything it could, it seems, to get that diagnosis and protect it from any further testing which might cast doubt on it. That will make it difficult for him to prove any potential malpractice case.

But in the words of Saul Rosenberg, "Sue everybody!"

Update: Riehl Worldview is pissed off at lefty, or at least brutally insensitve, trolls dancing on Terri's grave. Who can blame him?

Caution: Not only does he offer his own blue-material insults to these guys, he reprints their screeds too, and those are nasty. You may or may not want to read them.
