MedPol: Bush uses first veto on stem cells, will trade get out of jail free card for immunity on Water Works for three turns

I have nothing to say about Bush vetoing federal funding for stem cell research. Nothing polite, anyway.

I just wonder why he didn't just sign it with a signing statement reading, "NOT!"

In more positive Bush news, John Dickerson laments that Bush doesn't swear more. He sounds so much more nuanced when cursing. In his convo with Blair, he actually sounded like someone with a vested interest in foreign policy and, more importantly, in the role of the UN in international diplomacy.
