How intelligent are politicians?

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I have previously questioned the intelligence of Republican politicians since most smart Republicans go into business.That’s no reflection on those who choose politics after a successful career in business or a profession. Somebody has to do these things and Tom Coburn, or my former Congressman and friend, Ron Packard, have obviously made a sacrifice to contribute. As a general rule, Democrats see government as the most important component of our economy so they should attract a better overall level of candidate. They may not know much economics but many are very intelligent and well informed in other spheres I used to think Bill Clinton, whatever his problems with his impulse control and honesty, was one of them. That’s why it’s a bit of a shock to learn that he doesn’t know what an embryo is.

Clinton: I think – the answer is I think that we’ll work it through. If – particularly if it’s done right. If it’s obvious that we’re not taking embryos that can – that under any conceivable scenario would be used for a process that would allow them to be fertilized and become little babies, and I think if it’s obvious that we’re not talking about some science fiction cloning of human beings, then I think the American people will support this….

The embryos that are used in stem cell research are not fertilized !!!! ?

What the f**k does he think an embryo is ????
