Anyone who preaches objectivity and then does this…

Jack Kevorkian left prison after eight years. He was greeted by CBS reporter Mike Wallace — who gave him a hug.

Fair and impartial media… yeah, that’s a good one!

Didn’t the history of Star Trek say the lawyers and politicians were all killed?

“He was told in no uncertain terms not to take a flight back,” said Dr. Martin Cetron, director of the CDC’s division of global migration and quarantine. Cetron said Wednesday that in conversations between health officials and Speaker before the flight, “they clearly told him not to travel,” but “there were no legal orders in place preventing his travel, and no laws were broken.”Speaker, his new wife and her 8-year-old daughter were already in Europe when the CDC contacted him and told him to turn himself in immediately at a clinic there and not take another commercial flight.

He said he felt as if the CDC had suddenly “abandoned him.” At that point, he said, he believed if he didn’t get to the specialized clinic in Denver, he would die.

“Before I left, I knew that it was made clear to me, that in order to fight this, I had one shot, and that was going to be in Denver,” he said. If doctors in Europe tried to treat him and it went wrong, he said, “it’s very real that I could have died there.”

What kind of lawyer talk is that?  I thought Europe had such great socialized health care?!?  I mean, its not like he was in a third world country.  If doctors in the US tried to treat him and it went wrong, he would be just as dead.

Even though U.S. officials had put Speaker on a warning list, he caught a flight to Montreal and then drove across the U.S. border on May 24 at Champlain, N.Y. A border inspector who checked him disregarded a computer warning to stop Speaker, officials said Thursday.

The unidentified inspector later said the infected man seemed perfectly healthy and that he thought the warning was merely “discretionary,” officials briefed on the case told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is still under investigation. The inspector has since been removed from border duty.

More stupidity.  This guy, who had the computer blaring at him saying put on a mask and detain the guy, let him through.  No wonder terrorists get in the country.  “He didn’t have any explosives strapped to his chest, so I let him through.  I thought the warning saying Osama should be detained was merely discretionary…”

The next day, Speaker became the first infected person quarantined by the U.S. government since 1963.

He was flown by medical transport Thursday to National Jewish Medical and Research Center, where doctors put him in an isolation room where he will be treated with oral and intravenous antibiotics.

Speaker’s new father-in-law, Robert C. Cooksey, is a CDC microbiologist whose specialty is TB and other bacteria, but he said neither he nor his CDC lab was the source of Speaker’s TB.

My oh my, what a coincidence.  Of course, it goes the other way.  The wife could be a hag, but he only married her to have access to dad’s research.  Who knows?

The disclosure that the patient is a lawyer - and specifically a personal injury lawyer - outraged many people on the Internet and elsewhere. Some travelers who flew on the same planes with Speaker angrily accused him of selfishly putting hundreds of people’s lives in danger.

“I am glad to see that he’s taking responsibility for some of this,” 21-year-old Laney Wiggins, one of more than two dozen University of South Carolina-Aiken students who are getting skin tests for TB, said Friday. “It makes me feel a little better about the situation.”

Is he taking responsibility?  Should he be let off?  What if he drove at 80 miles an hour through an elementary school parking lot.  Same risk.  Same chance of hurting or killing other innocent people.   Just because he apologizes does not mean he is truly taking responsibility for his purposefully reckless actions.

Jason Vik, a 21-year-old business student also on the flight, said he had been through the same emotions Speaker named and was treated like an outcast. During a television interview, the people doing his makeup wore face masks, he said.

“There are lot of people that are just afraid of us. It’s ridiculous and ignorant,” he said.

Asked about the apology, Vik said, “People have to still remember that this is going to affect us for the next five, 10 years of our lives because we’re going to have to keep getting tests even if we’re negative just because we were on the plane with this guy.”

Jason- I hope you get a good lawyer who is going to make sure just about every penny this jackasshole makes in his life goes towards restitution.

Speaker’s new wife, Sarah, fought back tears as she told ABC about the horrible things said had heard said about her husband: that he was a terrorist, that he should have been eradicated.

“Imagine sitting in a foreign country with your husband and your government saying they were going to leave you there,” she said through tears.

Sarah - I hope you do not continue to breed.  Such disgusting displays of ignorance do not help your cause.  What if your husband had been exposed to a biological agent that he spread to others, killing thousands?  Would you still be pulling the poor me crap?

But no, this is the selfish generation.  Screw society, you DESERVE to put yourself before all others.  A hundred years ago your new husband would have already been dragged out by a mob, hanged, and the body burned.  You most likely would have been also.  For willfully putting so many others at risk.  Society needs to be self correcting for it to survive.  Those that put society at risk like this need to face the consequences of the choices they made.  I hope that every person on each of those planes sue these idiots into oblivion.  If the CDC members did say they were simply covering their asses rather than make it clear he was not permitted to fly they deserve prison also.
