The last insult?

With each damaging gasp of Bush's dying presidency, I keep thinking it will be the last assault, but, no, there seems to be no end. A last-minute insult to science, dignity and medicine is Bush's so-called Conscience Rules, which allows health care providers to impose their personal beliefs on the people they are supposed to serve.

In a way, it is a fitting end to a presidency that has always looked for new ways to theocratize this country. It's sickingly exciting to sit and wonder what will be next. Just because he's a lame duck, doesn't mean that he can't be lamer.
