Bush scared of DeGette, science: Part 2

An update on this story, straight from the desk of the congresswoman. A press release reads, in part:

"It's regrettable that President Bush will not even grant us the common courtesy of a meeting to discuss stem cell research. However, it's downright insulting that, at the same time, he sent his head political advisor to my hometown with a veto threat," said Rep. DeGette. "I would still welcome the chance to sit down with the President and talk to him about the mistake of making his first veto a bill which would help 100 million Americans and their families. This issue is too important to become part of Karl Rove's cynical electoral strategy."
