Frist & Stem Cells

Bill Frist announced his support for expanded federal financing for embryonic stem cell research.


Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner: "Karl Rove engineered Bill Frist's reversal on stem cells to take the heat off of the John Roberts nomination which was timed to take the heat off of the Valerie Plame investigation which was timed to take the heat off of the John Bolton fight which was timed to take the heat off of the problems in Iraq which was timed to take the heat off of the fact...my head hurts."

Update:
"You need to vote your conscience," Bush told Frist.

Bush held fast to his veto threat, but went out of his way Friday to show he had no hard feelings with Bill Frist.

Scott McClellan said Bush "does not believe that taxpayer money should be used to support the further destruction of human life."
