The link at the top of your post no longer works. Has this been pulled?

Yes it has been pulled, but its archived on google.

Ah, behold the Google cache! :-)

In July 2006, issuing his first-ever presidential veto, Bush insisted there was no need for further research with embryonic stem cells because adult stem cells could do the trick. Wrong again. True, adult stem cells are very valuable, and are being used to treat some forms of cancer and certain bone and blood disorders. But because they are already fully formed, they have very limited applicability. Only embryonic stem cells have the capacity to form whatever tissues — lung, kidney, heart or liver — medical scientists need to work on a cure.

This is his latest piece of filth. Does this guy ever do any research before he writes?

[PghBaldy]

Yes. He is great at politics.

I doubt it :-)

I was suspicious of this when it came out, for the simple reason that Clinton's IQ was EXACTLY twice Bush's IQ.

After I found out that it was a hoax, I watched an episode of Seinfeld where it was Elaine's birthday, and George and Jerry were both giving her cash. Jerry told George not to give her more than half of what he was giving her. George gave her $91 and Jerry gave her, you guessed it, $182.

When I saw that I felt like Chaz Pallminteri at the end of "The Usual Suspects".
