Clever way to silence dissent!

From the cover story of today's Sunday Times:

MEMBERS of Britain’s elite have been selected as priority cases to receive scarce pills and vaccinations at the taxpayers’ expense if the country is hit by a deadly bird flu outbreak.

Although senior government ministers would be among the high-priority cases, the department said this weekend that it had not decided whether to include opposition politicians.

Is this a joke?

Can you imagine the Bush administration announcing that only Republicans could get Bird Flu vaccine?
