I saw the clip of Terri Shiavo's parents shaking hands with the Pope and to use the term “meet” is a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think?
They were in a crowd of people and had somehow made it to the front of the barrier (I am sure they were very polite and said “excuse me, but we MUST meet with the Pope and let him know of our horrible plight, thank you!”) and shoved the picture of Terri in his face. He didn’t take it, one of his assistants did.
This is sort of like being at the Today Show with a “Hello Lubbock!” sign as Al Roker passes by and shakes your hand and telling everyone you “Met with Al Roker to discuss the condition of Lubbock and what could be done to save it.”
Just another example of these wacko people using their dead daughter to gain public sympathy.
PEACE.
