The “Blade” Cuts Compassion From His Agenda: "Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, formerly known as Bush’s ‘Blade,’ recently exhibited a stunning lack of compassion. The AP writes, ‘Daniels rejected the request of a convicted murderer for a reprieve of his execution so he could donate part of his liver to an ailing sister.’ While Bush was arguing yesterday that ‘America must pursue the tremendous possibilities of science... while still fostering and encouraging respect for human life in all its stages,’ Daniels was instead promoting his own distorted version of a ‘culture of life’ by not granting a short stay of execution for one life that could possibly save another."
