Bush Uses Frozen Embryo Children As Props But Says They Are Not �Spare Parts�

Get ready! Pop the corn, chill the wine, whatever....

God is about to smite Junior and his team of miscreants.

Pensito Review: Politics & Media � Bush Uses Frozen Embryo Children As Props But Says They Are Not �Spare Parts�:

The event today at the White House to announce that the president had vetoed a bill that would have allocated federal funds for embryonic stem cell research was one of the most obscenely crass political displays of the Bush presidency, and that is saying a lot.

To shift attention from the reality that only discarded embryos would be used in the research, the president's political operatives filled the room with children who were born from frozen embryos.

The craven use of used these children as political props became acutely ironic when Bush said of them, 'These boys and girls are not spare parts.' (We are sure that these kids and their parents enjoyed hearing this.)

Cameras weren't allowed in the room when President Bush actually signed the veto, which was the first of his six-year presidency. With midterm elections just four months away, Karl Rove and the political team didn't want clips of the signing showing up in Democrats' campaign ads. (It will be used anyhow, fools)
