Karl Rove defended Bush's decision to veto the bi-partisan stem-cell legislation that recently passed through Congress by suggesting that "recent studies" have shown that adult stem cells are more promising than embryonic stem cells anyway (see here for details). Setting aside the sickening PR photo-op (see here) that followed Bush's brave defense of the sanctity of life in the face of the evils of scientific progress--surrounding himself as he did by yet more children that will eventually be left behind by his education policies--one might wonder which studies Rove was talking about. After all, just last year 80 Nobel laureates sent Bush a letter suggesting that research involving embryonic stem cells is more promising than research involving adult stem cells (see here). Since White House spokesperson Ken Lisaius was unable to specify which studies Bush and Co. are relying on (see here for details), I thought I would fill in the blank. You see, the great Scientist in the Sky--our Lord and Savior--has whispered the truth directly into Bush's ear while he was sleeping. Fortunately, this divine revelation interrupted Bush's dreams of world domination. Unfortunately, when he awoke, he got right back to work.
