Saw Harry Taylor on Olbermann tonight...

[skooooo]

Man, was that not almost a Norman Rockwell moment? One man standing up and criticizing the most powerful idiot in the world?

It does remind me of some kind of Americana Rockwell painting. Take a look:

2. Except for the booing of the Bushbots part, it does look like Rockwell...

I heard the guy was booed by Bushites.

It's just so great and gutsy that Taylor did that. :applause:

Unfortunately, Bush events have sunk so low in my estimation that when I heard the exchange replayed on the radio yesterday, my first thought was, "Bush sounds way too calm at this challenge. This man is a plant, designed to show that Bush can handle criticism. Horrible that it's come to that.

4. re the booing by the gop-bots

Makes me wonder what Rockwell's art may look like today to reflect the lunacy that was once the US. I remember he did some outstanding work on civil rights.

7. Reminds me of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (PHOTO)

A young Jimmy Stewart played the role. Harry is older, of course.

Anybody have a bio on Harry?

6. Bush's answer: (a bit overlooked)

"I'm not going to apologize for tapping your phone."

9. A Real Telling Moment

Asshat attempted to make it seem like it was him personally that was tapping phones...trying to play to the crowd (and corporate media) as being the victim here. It's so pathetic the corporate media was so fascinated that someone actually stood up to speak that they didn't bother to look at what was said and how it was said.

8. There is something really pathetic about this whole affair.

Could anyone have imagined just 5 years ago that the fact that a citizen stood up in an audience of Americans and asked his President to explain his position on important subjects, that it would have made the news? George Bush has been so insulated that one man questioning his decisions on national policy is reason for the MSM to take notice. This should be a commonplace event, not a headliner.

10. kicking this once because i think it's worth the discussion
