Dumb and Dumber

Bush.

The dumb:

Pushing back against the Democratic-led Congress, President Bush vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have eased restraints on federally funded embryonic stem-cell research. "Our innovative spirit is making possible incredible advances in medicine that can save lives and cure diseases," the president told an invited audience in the East Room.

Our 'spirit'? This curiously sounds like Bush's green-lantern foreign policy, where what matters is our willpower to get the job done. If we will it, it will happen - except we know how that can turn out. Why are we not using all available tools at our disposal?

The dumber:

"America is also a nation founded on the principle that all human life is sacred. And our conscience calls us to pursue the possibilities of science in a manner that respects human dignity and upholds our moral values."
