Dr./Sen. Bill Frist is in a persistent vegetative state

At least he must be, because every single stance he takes on a medical or scientific issue makes him look like a complete and absolute idiot.

Over the winter, Dr/Sen Frist, in supporting President Bush's plan for funding sexual education programs developed by ultraconservative education groups (some of which contained claims like "Mutual masturbation without intercourse can result in pregnancy"), basically came out and said that he believed that AIDS can be spread via contact with sweat and tears.

SWEAT AND TEARS?!?!? Yeah, and the earth was created in 144 hours.

Then in March, he sponsored a bill to allow congress to intervene in the Terri Schivo case (because, since congress only seems to cause problems for the entire population, they decided to start passing bills on a person to person basis). Then, in an unprecidented show of stupidity, he said, after having no actual contact with Ms. Schivo whatsoever andonly having seen a couple hours of video tape and BY HIS OWN ADMISSION did not read ANY of her medical reports, said he didn't think she was in a persistent vegetative state...

Of course, a month after she died and the autopsy was performed, it was revealed that her brain had shrunk to about half its original size, that she was blind, and that, of course, she had been in a persistent vegetative state for several years...

Now, today, he has gone before the Senate in a dramatic reversal, in support of Stem Cell Research, causing a major rift in the GOP and turning against President Bush on the issue.

First, don't get me wrong, I couldn't be happier with his reversal. We need to be persuing widespread Stem Cell Research to cure debilitating diseases like alzheimers and other degenerative disorders. However, I feel the need to point out how idiotic his logic is.

Let's look at some quotes from his speech today:

"I am pro-life...I believe that human life begins at conception."
-Okay, so in his mind, when a sperm and an egg combine, a human life is created.

"I also believe that embryonic stem cell research should be encouraged and supported."
-...okay, so even though a fertilized egg is a life (Again, in his mind. This isn't necessarily what I think.) it is okay to murder these people to harvest stem cells from them.

So Bill Frist wants us to legalize what he considers murder.

Now I don't really believe that's what he thinks. I think he's just stupid; as if the AIDS and the Terri Schivo things didn't do enough to prove it.

Why did God make his most ardent supporters so dumb? Maybe it's just further evidence that God doesn't agree with them.
