The State of Mad Science Address

Consider this sentence from last night's speech:

Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms, creating or implanting embryos for experiments, creating human-animal hybrids, and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.

You could say all sorts of things about that nutty statement, and I have a few ideas. Feel free to contribute your own in the comments.

"That's the last time I let George stay up to watch the Creature Feature."

"Well, they've already figured out how to turn Republicans into sheep."

"I'm a war president. And I'm just like that guy on Manimal."

"That'd be bad for the country-- like some kinda 'Island of Dr. Dan Marino.'"
