It sure didn't take long for Kerry/Edwards to use Christopher Reeve's death for political purposes. In an emotionally-charged, fire & brimstone revival speech worthy of Elmer Gantry, John Edwards boldly promised to cure spinal cord injuries, juvenile diabetes, Alzheimer's and basically everything else if only you elect John Kerry.
That his position is scientifically baseless isn't important. He made an impassioned plea to the emotions of the sick & the elderly, and like the snake-oil salesmen of the old days, he sounded good when he said it! Style over substance. Lies over facts.
Emotion over science.
I wonder if stem cell research would find a cure for serial prevarication?
