My favorite part:
"In Maryland, the president linked Columbia?s scientific mission to his request that Congress approve a $6 billion, 10-year program to produce more vaccines and treatments against agents such as smallpox, anthrax, botulinum toxin, ebola and plague."
Wait...no, my other favorite part:
?Two days ago, America was yet reminded again of the sacrifices made in the name of scientific discovery,? the president said at NIH.
Talk about exploiting a tragedy.
Anyone got any swampland in Florida?

Bush Links Columbia, Bioterror Plan
February 3, 2003, 4:55 PM EST
Washington -- President Bush promised Monday to keep sending astronauts into space, where they can help solve mysteries of science ?that elude us here on Earth.?
Two days after the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated and fell from the skies, Bush paid brief tribute to the seven-member crew while promoting his $6 billion plan to help scientists combat bioterrorism.
?Their 16-day mission held the promise of answering scientific problems that elude us here on Earth,? the president said at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. ?While we grieve the loss of these astronauts, the cause of which they died will continue.?
?America?s journey into space will go on,? Bush said.
Those words were an echo of his nationally televised address Saturday, when Bush told the nation that Columbia was lost, without survivors. A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll suggests that more than 80 percent of Americans want the shuttle program to continue.
