You Say Jacuzzi Case, I Say Disembowelment II
 
Via Hunter from Daily Kos, a handy list of every time CNN (remember, they're the "Clinton News Network," the heart of the liberal media) commentator Tucker Carlson referred to the disembowelment of a five-year-old girl as a "jacuzzi case."

The girl, whose intestines were sucked from her body due to a faulty wading pool drain, will be fed through an IV for the rest of her life. Her only sin? Being represented by John Edwards.
 
The entire list is below. Here's our personal favorite:
 
CARLSON: One of the leading candidates among the Democrats in 2004 is John Edwards. Smart guy, decent guy, articulate guy, doesn't have the resume in the current environment in politics, but four years [ago] he was a personal-injury lawyer specializing in Jacuzzi cases. That's not going to cut it in this environment, is it?

SHRUM: Well, first of all, he never did a case like that. And if you, by Jacuzzi, mean a young woman who had her insides sucked out by a defective pool drain, who has to for the rest of her life receive 24-hour-a-day care, and that he took that case and won that case, if that's what you're referring to, I think people in this country would like that.

CARLSON: And so you're saying -- just to make sure I understand you -- that that is the resume that he's going to run on for commander in chief in 2004?

SHRUM: No, of course not. No, I just have to correct the outrageous misstatement that you just made.  First of all, he hasn't decided whether he's running or not, number one. Number two ... he didn't do class-action cases. He defended very, very powerless people against very powerful interests for 20 years.

CARLSON: And made millions.

(...)

CARVILLE: What experience did [Bush] have, Tucker, that John Edwards didn't? You've attacked John Edwards viciously. Tell us what [Bush] had.

SHRUM: You took what was a really terrible tragedy, in which he did exactly the right thing, and tried to turn it into a joke. You ought to be spanked for that.

CARVILLE: They don't believe that babies sucked into swimming pools ought to have lawyers. That's the difference.
 
CARLSON: James, lighten up. Lighten up.
 
Seriously, lighten up. Disembowelment can fun.
