the pile of shit just gets deeper and deeper

CNN) -- A legacy of President George W. Bush will be that he saved 10 million lives around the world.

His critics ignore it, but name another president about whom one can say that with such certainty. It is what historians will say a decade from now looking back. Not bad for a president who leaves office with the lowest approval rating in recent memory.

The bottom line is: George Bush is a healer.

First, a surprise proclamation came on January 29, 2003.

I was in the first row in the House chamber when three quarters through his State of the Union address, the president boldly said: "I ask the Congress to commit $15 billion over the next five years ... to turn the tide against AIDS in the most afflicted nations of Africa and the Caribbean" and "lead the world in sparing innocent people from a plague of nature."

3. If they're counting AIDS for him, they have to count stem cell research against him.

4. This is a typical repugism ...

In my annual medical mission trips to Africa during the Bush administration, I saw the cost of treatment for HIV with life-saving antiretrovirals (ARVs) drop from $4,000 a year to $125. The number of Africans on ARVs jumped from 50,000 to 2.1 million.

Meanwhile, they worked with Big Phrama to draft legislation for Medicare D so they could raise prices. And why can't people with HIV in the US get those prices?

5. Isn't this the guy that diagnosed Terri Schiavo

after watching a few minutes of videotape where she was just lying in a hospital bed?
