Reeve Tells Bush Off
IMDb.com ^ | 5-25-04

Posted on 05/25/2004 12:54:08 PM PDT by Paul Atreides

Superman actor Christopher Reeve has blasted American President George W Bush for failing to increase federal spending on embryonic stem cell research. Reeve, who is paralyzed from the neck down following a horse-riding accident in 1995, told 625 graduates at Middlebury University in Vermont, America that Dubya's "inaction is unacceptable". During his Sunday speech, the 51-year-old said, "As president he has a responsibility to the greatest good for the greatest number of people."

Yes, let's all stop the War on Terror for some self-absorbed liberal. Get your mega-wealthy Hollywood pals to fund the research, Mr. Reeve.

Hey Reeve... have Soros fund your stem-cell research for less money than he is spending on politics.

I'd like to see his quotes before I turn on him. I've always liked Reeve. If he disagrees with some sense of propriety then I don't have a problem.

I feel for Reeve. He seems very bitter to me. I wonder if he even knew what stem cell research was before his accident.

The research revealed this week in getting back broken mice to walk again had nothing to do with stem cells.

Why isn't Reeve keeping up to date on what's going on in HIS WORLD, or is it much easier to maintain ones LIEberals Hollywood friends by bashing President Bush.

"As president he has a responsibility to the greatest good for the greatest number of people."

---"Which means me, as I am only interested in this because I stand to benefit."

How sad.

He was nearly killed doing something very dangerous nine years ago and all he can do is criticize the President for not doing anything to make him better.

Typical Liberal behavior.

This is interesting. Let me sum up:
  1. Reeves is a very rich Hollywood star
  2. Reeves injures himself while riding his horse on his private estate
  3. Reeves now thinks that it is the Feds job to make sure as many unborn are killed as necessary to make it possible for a real important guy like him to walk again

Which can only mean:

Reeves is what passes for a regular guy in the Democratic party these days.

Did I miss anything?

Hey Christopher, perhaps you think it is all right to use murdered children for scientific experiments but, to many of us, that would be the height of inhumanity.

When I hear these pompous asses and their leftist drivel that pours forth during these "commencement speeches," I know why I'll be skipping the opportunity to attend any commencements in the future!

I knew it, it was Bush's fault that Reeve fell off of his $250,000.00 horse.
