"It is about us, and our rejection of the treacherous notion that while all human lives are sacred, some are more sacred than others."

This is House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, speaking on the subject of embryonic stem cell research. President Bush also commented that "every human life is a precious gift of matchless love."

When Bush was governor of Texas, 152 prisoners on Death Row were executed. Bush certainly didn't write the laws governing the death penalty in Texas, but he was a strong supporter of them.

Quotes are from a recent article in the New York Times (www.nytimes.com).

Will Saletan makes a similar point over at Slate. But does hypocrisy even mean anything to a politican?
