The War-Hero-in-Chief now concludes that tossing existing embryonic stem cells in the trash, as many are destined, is far better than funding research using federal dollars and these same stem cells to find cures for spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, stroke, burns, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, among others afflictions.
Geez, Louise, what afficts this chimp?
On July 20, 2006, Chimpy decided that funding stem cell research was tantamount to funding murder. Apparently, the War-Hero-in-Chief concluded that tossing existing embryonic stem cells in the trash, as many are destined, is better than funding research using federal dollars and these same stem cells to find cures for spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, stroke, burns, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, among others afflictions.
Not to be outdone by the Decider, the Fat-Pig-in-Chief (Karl Rove, that is, not Ed Meese) found it necessary to further mislead the public, hoping to appease extremist religious nutcakes. Indeed, on July 19, Turd Blossom blew far beyond the religious rhetoric of the Decider by telling the Denver Post that “recent studies” suggest researchers “have far more promise from adult stem cells than from embryonic stem cells.” The Chicago Tribune, after contacting a dozen top stem cell experts, established near conclusively the Turd Ball was lying or, at best, cherry picking intelligence to mislead a gullible public (oh, no, say it ain’t so) still hoping to justify their vote for the biggest most costly and deadly fraud in political history.
In a point of irony, Bush and Rove deserve nothing less than to live long and full lives, so they can be frog marched as old Alzheimer's-free men – fully cognizant in mind – to their graves in a paupers’ plantation and left to rot while reading research journal articles discussing how the horrible afflictions of disease such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson’s might have been treated, if only pandering to the freak show religious right hadn’t been politically expedient for the Repugs in July 2006.
