Comment of the Day: embryos are more important than Iraqis

The kiddie fiddling Catholic Church in Scotland has had its bishopic tights in a knot this week over government proposals to allow the creation of socalled human-animal embryo hybrids, demanding Catholic Labour MPs vote against it. And indeed a great many of those now feel moral qualms they’ve never encountered before. Says Chicken Yoghurt:

Look at some of the Catholic MPs and cabinet ministers getting in a lather about the little itty-bitty potential-babies. Des Browne: voted very strongly for the Iraq war. Ruth Kelly: voted very strongly for the Iraq war. Paul Murphy: voted very strongly for the Iraq war. Geraldine Smith: voted very strongly for the Iraq war.

Paul Goggins: voted very strongly for the Iraq war. Tommy McAvoy: voted very strongly for the Iraq war. Frank Roy: voted very strongly for the Iraq war. Tony Cunningham: voted very strongly for the Iraq war.

‘Nuff said.
