Capital Times: Bush Has No Shame (Good Editorial)
Dave Zweifel: No need to ask if Bush has no shame
By Dave Zweifel, July 24, 2006
I really do try hard not to dislike George W. Bush as a person.

But then he pulls a stunt like he did last week in vetoing a bill that would have allowed researchers in this country to get more help in exploring the many promises of stem cells.

The veto was almost beside the point. It was the smarmy way he and the cynical entourage with which he has surrounded himself played to the TV cameras and the religious zealots they hope will storm the polls for small-minded Republicans like himself this fall.

6. The little boy he's holding is eyeing him suspiciously.
Kids sense things. I bet that toddler has goosebumps of revulsion.

7. Great editorial.
"small-minded Republicans" indeed. The thing that really gets me is that the people who supported what he did also do not see the irony and hypocracy of Bush being "against murder" at the same time that he continues the war based on lies that has killed so very many people, and maimed even more. This man is beneath contempt.
