Let's see.

He was injured in 1995. Clinton had a full term to bring Reeve to his feet. Nary a mention of Clinton's stinginess.

I never thought a guy in a wheelchair could inspire loathing, but Larry Flynt and Christopher Reeve have done it.

He was the star attraction at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, remember?

"If we'd had full government support, full government funding for aggressive research using embryonic stem cells from the moment they were first isolated, at the University of Wisconsin in the winter of 1998 - I don't think it unreasonable to speculate that we might be in human trials by now."

Agreed, Sinkspur -- it's a bit of a stretch to blame GWB for an action not taken some three years before he had anything to say about the subject.

And also, Mr. Reeve, although not perhaps as seriously afflicted as you or as financially well-off, there are some of us (like the owner of FR) who do not play the blame game in their feigned "concern" for the disabled, but manage to accomplish great things without all the fanfare.

    Wheelchair guys
  1. Reeve is in a wheelchair because he was a poor horseman.
  2. Flynt is in a wheelchair because someone was a poor shot. Not USMC trained.

We agree on this, if on little else.
