The Washington Post carried a reply to my column of last week criticizing President Bush’s policy on stem-cell research.

Even if you don’t share my obsession with this topic, Lefkowitz’s article is interesting as an illustration of modern Washington dishonesty.[/font]

Its disappointing but hardly surprising that modern Washington assumes the citizens of this country are as clueless as our president.
