HOT MEMO NOBODY WAS SUPPOSED TO SEE!

(click on above memo for enlarged view)

A Hot memo now circulating came from the office of Florida Republican Senator Mel Martinez. It was written by Martinez legal counsel, Brian Darling.....who just resigned.
The controversial unsigned memo called the Terri Schiavo dispute "a great political issue" has been revealed.
It is being disavowed by Republicans including Martinez.
Martinez has issued a statement saying he found out Wednesday that the memo was from a staffer who "was unilaterally responsible."
Apparently, Martinez claims he pulled the document from his coat pocket and handed it to Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin, thinking it was background information on a bill ordering a review of the Schiavo case. OOOPPSS!!!
