In a scene reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting (and a Simpsons Episode), citizen Harry Taylor deviated from the usually scripted Bush townhall meetings, ignored the loyalty oath, and let a little sunlight in, to the dismay of the faithfull (transcript, video):
"I feel like despite your rhetoric, that compassion and common sense have been left far behind during your administration, and I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and the grace to be ashamed of yourself inside yourself. And I also want to say I really appreciate the courtesy of allowing me to speak what I’m saying to you right now. That is part of what this country is about."
Bush responded unapologetically, defending both his actions and their legality. Here's to hoping it was sincere, and not staged theater. According to Dailykos, Taylor's the real deal. Via Thinkprogress and Mefi.
