I'm glad Tony Snow is there to Speak the Truth to Power!

Of all the times the President could have vetoed something, this is the one at the bottom of the list.

[karnage]

I'm witchoo. Tony just shuts these presstitutes down hard. It's a beautiful thing.

[scory]

The inability of spokesmen for this administration to communicate a position clearly and intelligently has been a major problem since 2001. Finally they have someone in place who will not back down in the face of idiot badgering and who can also make an argument in a forceful, clear and intelligent manner. Better late than never I guess. But I sure wish they had put Snow or someone like him in place years ago.

While there are plenty of times he should have used his veto pen on bad legislation, there would have been hell to pay if he had signed this bill to use federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.

MR. SNOW: You're just flat wrong. Just flat wrong. I mean, that is basically an attempt to substitute an insult for an argument.

Man, I love this guy!!!

[TheDon]

It's at the top of my list.

[TheDon]

What's the point of having the snowflakes here today? What's the message of that?

Hmmmm....did Tony just get handed a softball question?

[TheDon]

Dittos, well said.

[Doohickey]

Off topic, but after reading this I'm forced to wonder why the President kept that moron Scott McClellan around so long.

The stopping of waste of any federal dollars, no matter how small, is a great thing. Would rather have had him pull out the veto pen a lot earlier, but at least it was finally used.

I wonder if someday, somewhere along the line, if there will be a condition placed on federal funding. Say that the money is paid back if the technology develops a profit, or that if you take the federal money to develop something, you can't claim a patent for it. Oh, wait, that's 1960's thinking, isn't it?

[Kenny Bunkport]

some of the discussion out there that the President is holding back scientific progress

Bush resists quack-science, junk-science, the kind of "science" that the Demcrats promote as a means of attracting votes...you know, politically-motivated and agenda-driven pseudo-science.

[Kenny Bunkport]

maybe as far as you're concerned. This veto is one example of why I voted for him.

[TheDon]

And so the idea that the President is standing in the way of science seems to indicate that the only way you do it is through a federal grant.

Lots of FReepers agree with this idea.

"You're just flat wrong. Just flat wrong. I mean, that is basically an attempt to substitute an insult for an argument. I've given you the argument and I've rebutted the insult."

A thing of verbal beauty. I'm so glad Tony Snow is PS.

[humblegunner]

Q How do you —

MR. SNOW: You're just flat wrong. Just flat wrong. I mean, that is basically an attempt to substitute an insult for an argument. I've given you the argument and I've rebutted the insult.

Dang, that Snow is arrogant and rude.

I guess that happens with folks who talk for a living.

[olderwiser]

Yeah? Valuing and protecting innocent human life is at the top of my list.

[Mamzelle]

Good veto. Looks like Rove is aware there might be a conservative or two who voted for GW.

And, no, GW--this does not mean that you get to give amnesty to 12 million illegals.

[CindyDawg]

Mine too.

[CindyDawg]

Mine too.
