Stem Cells & The War On Terror(ble) Diseases
Published by Haseeb July 21st, 2006 in Current News, TelevisionGreat Daily Show Segment with Jon Stewart at his finest: Exposing the hypocrisy of Bush and company on the value of human life.
Regarding Bush’s veto of stem cell research:
“The simple answer is that he (President Bush) thinks murder is wrong… What the president said is that he does not want human life destroyed - Now you may consider that insignificant…” - Tony Snow
“I think it is important to promote a culture of life. I think a hospitable society is a society where every being counts and every person matters.” - President Bush
…
“How many Iraqi citizens have died in this war? I would say 30,000 more or less…” President Bush
When spreading democracy, moral absolutes get a little wiggle room. (Jon Stewart)
So when it comes to the theory that embryonic stem cells can help against the fight against disease:
“This country has to be very careful, on destroying life to save life” - Bush
And when it comes to the theory that military intervention can promote middle east democracy:
“In a situation like this you do not want to create undue carnage with civilians” - Tony Snow

So are you in favor of embryonic stem cell research now?
Hahaha. Good stuff. I’m stealing it for my blog too
you should hear what colbert had to say about his (presidents’) first veto, even more hilarious
It was mad funny.
But what is really sad is that all these things said about Bush and the US government is mostly on Talk Shows and other comedy shows. It isn’t taken seriously.
If only people took it seriously…
Absolutely positively hilarious. I love that guy.
Post-Script: I’m adding it to my blog, as well
What a relief! Dubya will never drop a 500-pound bomb on an “emberyo”.
Hey, they say “nookular”, so I think they need a new stupid buzzword to match their stupid policy.
Man, that was so funny I emailed it to DOF and he posted it. I’m really surprised I didn’t myself, cause that was probably the absolute funniest Daily Show EVER!
