I say this announcement is prep for him changing his speech subject to "Why Dubya's a doodyhead and Kerry's just like my Dad, only smarter."

"Alzheimer‘s is a disease, ironically, that probably won‘t be amenable to treatment through stem cell therapies,"

"Ironically?" What makes it ironic? Transfusions or iron pills not helping anemia would be ironic, this is just a result that was unexpected by starry-eyed suckers and exploited, grieving families.

"For people to suggest that [Nancy Reagan] shouldn’t support this because it isn’t Alzheimer's . . that’s very small,"

Not nearly as small as expecting a little kid to die for medical results we'll soon be able to get from scraping a 40 year-old's skin cells.

He says he still backs the campaign for embryonic stem cell research because it might cure other diseases such as Parkinson's and diabetes.

Except that there's no serious evidence that either of them will be helped by it, either. Oops.

It might do this and it might do that. Want to buy some stock in the company?

See, you don't have to kill babies to find a possible treatment and cure for Alzheimer's Disease.  

 Using stem cells from dead babies just does not work and never will, it's not a priority for Alzheimer's Disease Research; it's a priority for the demoncrats, satan, the msm, greedy politicians who will make money from pharmaceutical kickbacks and politicians who will use baby killing juxtaposed with people dying from a disease, confusion with an issue, just to advance their political career.   They want babies to die and people to suffer just so they keep control of their office.   

What seems to work is prevention by exercising, following the Mediterranean diet, using curry powder or curcumin/turmeric, green tea, red wine, keeping the weight down, using NSAIDS like aspirin, etc. 

What seems to be the cutting-edge and experimental treatments for Alzheimer's is gene therapy and drug therapy.  BTW, this disease runs in my family.

It's not "cause celeb." It's "cause celebre." I would expect even a marginally literate "journalist" to know that.

"For people to suggest that [Nancy Reagan] shouldn’t support this because it isn’t Alzheimer's . . that’s very small," a defensive-sounding Reagan responded.

No, ballerina boy, we think that you bozos shouldn't be pimping Nancy's pain and keeping her in the dark so she goes atround looking like an idiot by promoting this research. Got it, princess?
