Today:
President Bush has signed an emergency bill aimed at prolonging the life of a severely brain-damaged Florida woman whose feeding tube was removed three days ago...President Bush said he supports the action because - in his words - "our society, our laws and our courts" should be expected to act "in favor of life" in such cases.

1999:
...Texas executed Tucker, a double murderer who became a Christian on death row and whose pleas for clemency gained national attention. Bush apparently hasn't yet forgiven her for the resulting bad PR. In discussing the case with reporter Tucker Carlson for Talk magazine, Bush mimics the late Karla Faye begging for mercy: "'Please,' Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, 'don't kill me.'"
