I am a fan of his, and pay close attention to his analysis of political issues. His article today, which touches on his personal life, speaks volumes:
What’s dismaying is the knee-jerk tendency among liberals and conservatives to rush so passionately to one side or the other in this case. It has more to do with winning the culture war than helping Terri Schiavo, whose fate should rest on medical fact, not political posturing.
Mort lived through this with his own wife. And I would beg each of you to read what he has to say about Terri and ask yourself the tough questions he does.
I’ve watched Mort defend his position on Britt Hume’s program. I disagree with him, but I can’t deny that he’s reached his position through a lot of painful reflection and soul-searching that I have not been required to endure.
And he’s right about many who’ve spoken out on this issue (and many others). Some people can’t put on their brain in the morning without first checking Kos, InstaPundit, Atrios, etc., to see what they should think.
