A noticible limp

The poor W-imbecile.

First the Senate caves in and stops him and The right Rev. Frist from nuking those uppity Democrats.

Now the House has passed and very soon, perhaps today, the Senate as well is expected to pass a bill that would lift restrictions on embryonic stem cell research.

In defiance of the president. Open, blatant defiance.

The W-imbecile has promised a veto. If he can figure out how.

In recent weeks, both houses of Congress have expressed little support for the W-imbecile's moronic Social Security dismantling-by-privatization scheme. Lawmakers in his own party are giving him an increasingly hard time over everything from a free-trade pact for Central America to his plan to ease immigration laws.

Fron an AP report last week:

Also, the Senate is moving toward approval of a giant highway bill that exceeds the spending ceiling set by the White House....
Misgivings by four Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee triggered a three-week postponement of a vote on the nomination of John Bolton to be U.N. ambassador.

Speculation is that the W-imbecile's becoming a lame duck a lot quicker than most presidents in their second term.

This week's stem cell movements seem to be particularly galling.

The W-imbecile even put on a little dog-and-pony show yesterday in hopes of swaying someone -- anyone.

From today's Sun-Times:

At the White House Tuesday, Bush expressed his opposition to the legislation by appearing with 21 families that either adopted or gave up for adoption frozen embryos that remained after fertility treatments.
"Twenty-one children here today found a chance for life in all its stages," the president told an audience that included many active and noisy youngsters.
"Research on stem cells derived from human embryos may offer great promise," Bush said. "But the way those cells are claimed today destroys the embryo."
"The children here today remind us there is no such thing as a spare embryo," he said. "Every embryo is unique and genetically complete, like every other human being."

Poor W. Even while he was tugging at our heartstrings, the House was passing and the Senate eagerly awaiting the measure, where it's expected to pass easily, although probably not by a veto-proof margine.

You almost expected the W-imbecile to break into a chorus of Monty Python's 'Every Sperm is Sacred.'

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Sorry, W-imbecile

You're wrong again. Saving a dab of tissue vesus potentially saving thousands or millions of people with ailments from spinal cord injuries to alzheimers?

Do the math, W

And so it goes.
