The mind boggles. Of all the legislation that he could have vetoed up to now (CFR and bloated budgets come to mind), he chooses this one to finally learn how to spell "veto"!

Hey, this bill deserved vetoing, no matter what we think he should have vetoed in the past. I am not going to drag down the importance of this veto because of past failures to reject legislation.

My palpable anger at Bush for finally exercising his veto power isn't necessarily directed at this bill (he always opposed stem cell research), but it is that he has signed an untold number of crappy bills and horribly bloated budgets in the past 5 years that deserved his veto and he has taken this long to learn how to spell the word "veto".

And, for your edification, stem cell research has been underway for many years. This bill is directed toward embryonic stem cell research which, to date (depending on the studies you believe), has not yielded any useful medical improvements.
