COLUMBUS, Ohio - Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) on Thursday accused President Bush (news - web sites) of slowing scientific advancement after earning a special endorsement from the widow of actor Christopher Reeve, a proponent of the embryonic stem cell research on which the president has placed limits.

"The American people deserve a president who understands that when America invests in science and technology, we can build a stronger economy and create jobs for the 21st century," Kerry said during a campaign rally. "But George Bush (news - web sites) has literally ... turned his back on the spirit of exploration and discovery."

Reeve's widow, Dana, said her family has been grieving privately since her husband died Oct. 10. "My inclination would be to remain private for a good long while," she said. "But I came here today in support of John Kerry because this is so important. This is what Chris wanted."

I wonder if the Thugs are going to ask if JFK really got a message from Chris anymore. Slimy bastards.

2. Good news

But no surprise, the Reeves family have been Democrat supporters for years. She needs to be louder and get more media attention if she wants to make an impact. The problem in this case is that it has to come from her. If it comes from Kerry it looks very crass, like he's politicking off someone's death.
