What is an embryo?
Oh dear. If this were George Bush… But when Bill Clinton makes a mistake like this, most of us just move along. Including the interviewer who, if I’m not mistaken, plays a doctor on TV. [Yes, I'm trying to be cute - it's been a long day. I know who he is.]

Andrea adds: The interviewer addresses Clinton saying this: “as someone who has studied the issue, do you think…” Someone who has studied the issue? Study again, my friend, because this is…alarming. I actually think the interviewer looks a little disquieted: Do I stop him? Correct him? Do we pull out a chart and explain the basics? Change the topic entirely? (Anyone see the game last night?) Very funny.

Wow – it’s not even a subtle mistake, mentioned off-handedly. He repeatedly talks about “embryos that have no chance of becoming fertilized”. I don’t think he’s being duplicitous either – I think he really is clueless about the whole thing.
Those dastardly anti-science anti-choicers, and their demands for rights for unfertilized embryos!
This is amazing. So why didn’t Dr. Gupta correct him? He let him go on and on and repeat the nonsense several times.
Wow.

I wonder if Obama shares the same ignorance on the subject.
