Bush really did mention human-animal hybrids????

[thefloyd]

Holy shit. I figured some sort of joke based on Robertson or Fallwell speak but Bush mentions some crazy bat shit human-animal hybrids? In the state of the Union? Lord jesus. Canada will be my next destination.

[kenny blankenship]

1. They get great gas mileage apparently

[papau]

2. So who is in favor of werewolves?

:-)

[Atmashine]

5. I want a werewolf!

To go with my frog-velociraptor.

[Toucano]

10. Liberal Democrats...

You know they've always supported the pro-werewolf agenda that threatens our security, our marriages, and our children.

[mindem]

3. I missed it - what did he say?

I was in a recording session and missed the SOTU - not that I would have watched any way. What's with the animal human thing?

[GrpCaptMandrake]

15. Dear Leader called for a Congressional ban

on all human cloning and all "human-animal hybrids." Most people are chuckling quietly about what an ass and an idiot Dear Leader is for even saying something so blithley stupid, when, in fact, the issue is very real and stands a very real chance of providing significant help to suffering people.

Please look upthread for the link to the other discussion relating to this issue.

[mindem]

17. Thanks N/T

[papau]

18. Very true - the ready to approve animal DNA diabetes treatment is

dead if this rule is imposed

[Sequoia]

28. "Animal-People like me, eh?"

[tinrobot]

4. I want monkey feet!

That way I can peel fruit with my toes!

[mikeytherat]

19. You can't do that already?

Just keep practicing! Or, break a thumb on one had and a finger on the other - simultaneously - and you'll be amazed at what your feet can do (I can unlock and open doors with my feet, though I have to admit I haven't tried peeling fruit - gotta try that!).

38. Thanks for those images, mikey!

:rofl:

[endarkenment]

6. Ah shit somebody beat to the Prius joke. nt.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

7. It's more sinister than that

See this thread:

As usual, the Repigs (human-animal hybrids that they are) want to keep science from helping people.

[Beetwasher]

8. Apparently He Did!

[npincus]

9. well, he IS a Man-Chimp hybrid, is he not????

[BushOut06]

14. You are familiar with Oliver the Humanzee, right?

Oliver was a chimpanzee who appeared to have human characteristics; he walked upright, seemed more intelligent than average apes, and had many people convinced he was some sort of human-chimp hybrid. Turns out he was 100% chimp. Maybe Bush is the real humanzee.

[npincus]

21. wow... could he read a telePrompter, too?

very interesting... thanks!

[BushOut06]

11. He's talking about chimeras, but it sounds really stupid doming from him

Chimeras, or the blending of different species' genes, could provide valuable scientific and medical insights that would normally be impossible to gather. But as usual, the RW has this ability to take a very complex issue and reduce it down to a simplistic black/white issue, completely polarizing the issue.

[KnaveRupe]

12. President unveils the Moreau Doctrine! (n/t)

[kenny blankenship]

22. "I am NOT an animal!" he bellowed, "I am a HUMAN BEING!"

And you could have heard a pin drop throughout the House chamber, as an ocean of mute disbelief and amazement flooded into the vacuum left by the outburst.

[Sequoia]

30. Indeed!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

31. LOL, forward to Daily Show!

:thumbsup:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

35. That's good! (Thread on that concept)

13. Was he referencing Oscar the mixed animal!?!

Oh the humanity!!!1!11!1

[calico1]

16. Well, we have on in the White House! n/t

32. Better warn Tony Blair!

[retread]

24. I think it means he is worried about the results of his dalliances

with farm animals!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. It's in the transcript

http://www.infozine.com/news/stories/op/storiesView/sid/12705/

A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine that do not cut ethical corners, and that recognize the matchless value of every life. Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms, creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos. Human life is a gift from our Creator -- and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale. (Applause.)

[Drewskie]

26. He could only have been referring to the sheep, pigs, or whatever

it was that they injected human cells into. It's been theorized that the organs in such animals would be suitable for transplants. A pig heart going into a human for instance. And yea, they have actually been trying to do this...

[Drewskie]

29. the animals look completely normal btw....

it's just the genetic makeup of their innards. Pig hearts, and many other animal organs, have always been relatively similar anyways. We are all just mammals after all...

[DoYouEverWonder]

27. Heck

a man with an elephant's trunk might be interesting.

[FlaGranny]

33. NO!

Most people are nosy enough now.

[DoYouEverWonder]

34. You must be pure of heart

because my dirty mind had other uses for that trunk.

[FlaGranny]

37. Not really so pure of heart - but

polite. :evilgrin: You see, I did think of something else first. I just decided I better assume you're innocent until proven guilty.

[Hubert Flottz]

36. As much as he pumps the pooch it will probably look like him...

a smirking pooch!
