Glad to see somebody agrees with me. ISTR it's about the forth or fifth month of gestation when the fetus shows brain activity that can't be distinguished from folks what has been born.

There are people who live 20-30 years that can probably say the same?

Actually, he does have living brain cells. Just enough so that he can half-assed parrot what his handlers (namely Dick Cheney) tell him to say.

BTW, did you see the recent remake of the Manchurian Candidate? We have the Halliburton Candidate in the oval office now. (Well, until this campaign he spent most of his time in Crawford playing on his ranch and hiding from the public, but he does, alas, hold the office.)
