Someone at CBS News goofed and posted Terri Schiavo's obituary on the last-place network's website. The premature story characterizes Terri as a
fat, naive, stupid and unsocial woman. After all, who wants to save someone like that?
Terri Schiavo was locked in battle with her own personal image as far back as anyone can tell. She was an overweight child who only gained pounds through adolescence, reaching at least 200 by her senior year of high school.
Those close friends have been telling newspapers that Terri never excelled in school. She sometimes talked about becoming a veterinarian, but got barely passing grades while in Catholic school. Her interests during school years are unclear, though she shied away from boys and parties.
Once in college, she stuck to old friends. She married the first man she ever kissed. She organized the wedding at the Catholic parish her family ha attended since her youth, Our Lady of Good Council.
Note: The CBS hack who slammed Terri's "barely passing grades" misspelled both the name of her parish and the word "had." The disgusting piece ends with a plug for the Schiavo family and a cheap shot at Terri's parents:
According to friends and relatives, Michael Schiavo was Terri's only love. His big-but-tight-knit family took in Michael's bride, and she befriended his siblings, including his brother, Scott.
"It's so sad they've turned this wonderful person into a sideshow," Scott Schiavo told the Post. "It's such a shame. It really is. The one that's hurt the most here is Terri."
Another piece of top-notch journalism from CBS News.
