TranscriptMurrow: All right, welcome back. Before the break, we were talking about the future of stem cell research. So, I've been hearing a lot about this Feral Labs lately--you know, typical Liberal up-front that has its hand in the pockets in the new cut-and-give majority. They probably bought some of those votes, too...
So this company is, according to their website, "one of the top genetics firms in the United States." But how'd they get that way? Didn't President Bush sign a ban on stem cell research? So isn't this fat-cat East Coast "conglomerate" breaking the law? You know, you know--
You know, this really disgusts me. Why do these companies hate the working man? It seems that we can't even have a fair election anymore because these companies disagree with the President!
Anyway, to get around these laws, the head of this company--Nicholas Moreau--bought what the company memo called "an offshore facility." An offshore facility? In international waters? Outside U.S. juristiction? Doesn't that sound a little suspicious, or is it just me?
All right, we're going to take a call now. Bill from Florida--Hello, Bill!
Caller: Hey Alan, long time viewer, first time caller. I'm just calling about some remarks about Feral Labs. There's actually a branch near me, and I have to say I don't really see anything wrong with them. I mean, they gave out free flu shots at the local elementary school--
M: I'm going to cut you off right there, Bill. Now, I've been working in Washington for a long time and then here in New York for at least ten years, and trust me, I know bad PR when I see it.
Caller: I...I'm sorry, Alan, but I actually think--
M: Now I think that Feral Labs is trying to distract us from something. Why would anyone just give out free flu shots? Once again, a little suspicious for me. I don't know about you, Bill.
Caller: Well, I understand what PR is, Alan.
M: I'm not implying that you didn't. Now, thank you for calling, Bill.
