In other news from Washington, the House has voted to give final approval on a measure that undoes President Bush’s restrictions on stem-cell research. The final vote won’t be enough to override a promised veto from the White House.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “I can’t help but think that even those opposed to this legislation today would want their family members, their child with diabetes, their husband with Parkinson’s, their father with Alzheimer’s, their mother with breast cancer, to have the benefit of stem-cell research.”
