So Bush and Frist are different people!?!

You may not have known that Senate majority leader Bill Frist and GWB are actually two different people. After all, their moronic views on every issue give off the impression that they are nothing more than separated siamese twins still sharing the same brain. However, Frist has finally broken free! (for this one issue at least).

Seems that gearing up for his likely presidential run in 2008, Frist has probably run a lot of polls and come to the startling conclusion that most Americans including (GASP! Republicans) are actually in favor of more federal financing for stem cell research. Since Frist basically controls the Senate agenda, he has the power to scuttle bills, including this bill which had wide bipartisan support in both the Senate and the House. If Frist chose to keep it off the agenda, however, he would save GWB a very odd veto against a bill which has wide public support (except from Bush's evangelical right). Frist however, has thrown his support behind the bill now. Hopefully this will get us moving in the right direction on stem cells, after years of wasted time thanks to the Bush administration.
