Great Moments in Leadership President Bush's Photo-Op at a Fertility Clinic Bush: ...And so the little bird found his mommy. Y'know, it's great to be reading to you little blastocysts. You guys should be proud -- You're the byproduct of the process that brings babies to infertile couples! You're just microscopic dots, comprised of eight or so cells... ...But I'm not gonna allow any government-sponsored research on you! Even though it could help or cure people with awful diseases... After all, you're living things, deserving of life! Servant: Uh, Mr. President, these blastocysts will be destroyed by the clinic this afternoon. Bush: Uh... So... The, um, next book is "The Pet Goat..." Twenty-Minute gap in videotape Bush: Well, this was great! Keep reading, little guys! Goshdarnit, that's the second time you've done that, Andy. It's hard to read when you keep interrupting.
