Like anybody really thought he wouldn't

Bush vetoed the stem cell research bill.

I'm not a bit suprised. But it still pisses me off.

"This bill would support the taking of innocent human life in the hope of finding medical benefits for others," Bush said in announcing his veto. "It crosses a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect."

"...taking of innocent human life..."? Uh. It's ok for us to just incinerate any unused embryos just like any other 'medical waste' (yes, they do...I've seen it. What? You thought they just saved them in perpetuity?), but gawd forbid, we use them to help someone with some debilitating disease.

And:

"Human beings are not a raw material to be exploited, or a commodity to be bought or sold, and this bill will help ensure that we respect the fundamental ethical line,"

You don't think he (or any other poltician, for that matter) looks upon his constituents as "raw material to be exploited"?? Hah.

If there's one thing that never fails to raise my hackles, it's some fucking hypocrite spouting off about "ethics" and "morals" and "decency".

He's an idiot.
