LANGHORNE, Pa. - First lady Laura Bush defended her husband's policy on embryonic stem cell research Monday, calling Democratic rival John Kerry's criticism "ridiculous" and accusing proponents of overstating the potential for medical breakthroughs.

1. I used to be indifferent

toward her, but now I hate her about as much as I hate Bush himself.

So Laura, Shove it or if you prefer, go Cheney yourself (or go Cheney Cheney himself)!!!

[girl gone mad]

2. Overstating the potential for medical breakthruoghs.

They know they are on the wrong side of history on this one.

Stem cells hold as much promise and potential as any treatment in the last half century. It may take longer to produce the breakthroughs than we would like (thanks in no small part to Bush's policies), but the possibilities can't really be overstated.

3. Banish ye thy fetus farms, and turn to prayer!!

she's one expert on medical research, I'm sure.

[rwenos]

4. Using Laura Indicates Desperation

They know Laura is much more palatable than Georgie Boy. Thus, using Laura on policy issues -- which she must HATE! -- shows Kerry is drawing blood.

This is good news. Laura will crumble, in the long run.

5. She must not have taken her meds yesterday

It's so unlike her to have an opinion. I wonder if her face had a real expression on it as well.

[pbg]

6. She then goes on...

..to cite the relevant papers and critique them, citing the great strides made in antisense RNA manipulation as an alternative and enumerating the methodological hurdles still to be overcome in each of the avenues mentioned---

--or maybe not.

7. nancy is going to kick her ass

boy-o- boy is nancy going to be really,really pissed!

[Hippo_Tron]

8. Hrmm, could Laura Bush be a PESSIMIST?

But I'm just speculating.

9. Laura killed an innocent 17 year old boy

She never did a lick of jail time for it either, and "some people" say she was very drunk and on drugs at the time.

Is that an honest statement? It's every bit as honest as right wing statements & ads have been lately.

[Tight_rope]

10. Boy....that's not going to go well with the old repukes.

[praxiz]

11. This reeks of desperation. n/t

[Old and In the Way]

12. Is Laura running for pResident now?

Hey, I'll bet she could at least talk the English language without a translator. Would we be any worse off?

[TreasonousBastard]

13. So, Pickles is now a medical expert...

or perhaps she just knows how to pronounce the big words.

[ronabop]

14. Clueless, and factually wrong.

Stem cell research has already restored bowel control and the ability to walk to paraplegics, health to people with leukemia, and insulin production to diabetics.

Don't believe the lie that the research and cures or treatments are years away. It's not. It's here, right now, today. What *is* years away is cheap and common treatments.

Something to do with funding issues. :)

15. Actually, it's restored insulin production

in diabetic mice, not humans as of yet.

[Sugarbleus]

17. I heard her spout her nonsense about getting the hopes up

of those suffering daily when the research and the proof wasn't yet available..blah blah something like that.

I couldn't believe my ears! Welllllllllllllllll, Lauraaaaaaaaaa, the reason there isn't anything on the horizon, HONEY, is because the likes of YOU and your screwed up husbands have PREVENTED this research from going forward for YEARS AND YEARS! And you CONTINUE to prevent it. She was talking in circles and I just wanted to be in the same room with her so I could "set her straight"... *ahem*

She's not one bit brighter than her dumbass husband...did these people actually attend college?????? Did they buy their degrees from some online diploma mill? The whole lot of them never ever cease to amaze me. Holee Smokes :crazy:

[DemBones DemBones]

22. Got proof of any of that? nt

[Donkeyboy75]

16. Yep. Instead of scientists, I'm going to listen to some airhead

about which developing technologies are significant breakthroughs. I now dislike this woman almost as much as her husband. :argh:

[kodi]

18. where did Pickles get her MD or PhD in microbiology?

oh, that's right, she was librarian?

the woman ought to be smart enough to know that if she pops her head up out of that gopher hole and yaps ignorant she should expect to get slammed for speaking so stupidly.

[vetwife]

19. Need I say more...We know which Villan she is !

Jack Nicholson as the Joker



The Real Thing !

[Iris]

20. But if one of the twins

were to be diagnosed with, say MS, which usually rears its head in young women in their late 20s, early 30s, well, she might start singing a different tune.

[Justice]

21. Laura Bush M.D.???

Musicians speak in favor of Kerry - and they are told, just sing. You have no right, no authority to speak on this issue.

Yet, Laura Bush has authority and credibility to speak about stem cell research?

HUH?

[nickinSTL]

23. arrgh!

I can't believe it. Wasn't she a Democrat before she married Dubya?

And as a librarian, I'd think she'd be bright enough to know better.

What the Cheney was she thinking?
