- Sam Brownback (R-18th Century) avoided Schieffer's question about whether he might try to filibuster an override (read: yes, because it's OK to filibuster if you're a Republican), and instead spouted paranoid rhetoric about creating life and feigning outrage about using taxpayer money to "destroy human life" (um, Sam, it's a primitive frozen embryo that is likely to be destined for destruction anyway -- but far be it from Brownback to mention that fact). Brownback said that there are not the votes in the House to override as he continued to equate "creating... embryos... and clones" for "research" (as if that's what those evil biologists are out to do just for some kind of kinky pleasure) with unethical science. (Can you say paranoid fantasies that play to Bible-thumpers?)
Where is Planet Brownback located, exactly?
