Oh, yes, Laura... Let's be sure NOT to manipulate people's feelings

heaven's sake, we wouldn't want to do THAT, now would we...?

C-Span: One of the issues that’s come up. Michael J. Fox. The whole issue of stem cell research. Your reaction to the events of the past week.

LAURA BUSH: Well, I don’t have any idea about any of those. I mean, I’ve watch on television just like you have. But the fact is President Bush is the only president that authorized funding for stem cell research. And, um, you know, it’s an issue that it’s easy to try to manipulate people’s feelings about and I understand that. My dad died of Alzheimer’s. You know, there’ s nothing I’d like more than to think there was a cure for Alzheimer’s. Especially before I get to be the age he is, but knowing also how he suffered. It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.

so, i presume that when your husband, the vice president, and karl rove try to instill fear in the american people and claim that a win by the dems next week will mean the u.s. loses the war in iraq, against al qaeda, and the gwot in general, that DOESN'T qualify as manipulation...? never mind... i withdraw the question... no, of course not...

she oughta feel very lucky her stepford-wife wiring didn't malfunction as she was speaking... imagine the endless loop of "before I get to be the age he is," "before I get to be the age he is," "before I get to be the age he is..."

(thanks to think progress...)
