He's Sayin' What We're All Thinkin'!

From the AP:
It was a moment brought to you by the First Amendment.

Minutes after finishing a face-to-face verbal assault on President Bush, Harry Taylor was talking about the experience with reporters who covered the president's visit Thursday to Charlotte.

Speaking from the balcony of a theater at Central Piedmont Community College, the 61-year-old commercial real estate broker had laced into Bush for his conduct of the war on terror, his environmental record and his opposition to legalized abortion.

"In my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of my leadership in Washington," Taylor told the president. "And I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and grace to be ashamed of yourself."
Well said. Want to thank him? Try here.

From what I've read, it sounds like this guy might have been planted by Bush's people. It was in front of an overwhelmingly pro-Bush crowd and Bush, despite his comments about letting him speak, was ready with a quick response (which was condescending enough to make his crowd happy). I just find it odd that one dissenter was allowed to have the mic in the first place and even more odd that Bush seemed prepared for it. Hmmmm...
