It's not right

Much to no one's surprise, President Ignoramus is opposed to any easing of restrictions on federally-funded embryonic stem cell research.

"In our day there is a temptation to manipulate life in ways that do not respect the humanity of the person," Bush said Friday [at the national Catholic prayer breakfast]. "When that happens, the most vulnerable among us can be valued for their utility to others instead of their own inherent worth." ...

"We must continue to work for a culture of life where the strong protect the weak and where we recognize in every human life the image of our creator," Bush said.

To have to bear the sight - the thought - of this man, this egomaniacal twerp, this strutting, self-important bozo with the smug attitude of a spoiled brat and the world-grasp of the same, this titan of torture, this producer of poverty, this author of so much pain, so much blood, so much death, to have to bear the thought of this man waxing poetic about the value of life, about protecting the weak, for the purpose of hindering scientific investigations that could cure the sick and bring mobility to the paralyzed, to name just two - it's just... it's just not right.

Footnote: Bush also noted that

this year's prayer breakfast occurred the Friday after Lent.

"You can eat your bacon in good conscience," he joked.

Remember when we had presidents who told jokes and we laughed because they were funny, not because it was like laughing at the boss's jokes?
