...which they were able to successfully develop stem cells from non-embryonic human tissue, silencing the moral qualms many Americans have with the use of embryos for the same purpose. President George W. Bush hopped right on to the scene with a self-congratulatory press release. He was quick to remind everyone that his administration is the first to fund such research and that he is very pleased with the results...

Latham also espoused ideas too left-wing for a country that likes its politics fought in the center. Clearly, many Australians had tired of Howard and stopped listening to him, but needed a credible alternative before taking the next step of kicking...
