Thank you Harry Taylor
President Bush's advisors have been desperately searching for a bullhorn moment, hoping to rally the quickly diminishing support for his policies. Yesterday, at a Bush town hall meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, Harry Taylor was among the carefully picked people in the audience. But Harry turned out to be a real person, and instead of the usual "we support you and are praying for you" comments and questions, Harry asked the questions that a lot of people wanted to ask this president. This may be a bullhorn moment, but not of the type the adminstration was looking for. It remains to be seen whether the right wing talk show hosts will try to discredit Harry, as they tried to do with Cindy Sheehan, Richard Clarke, Joe Wilson and others who have disagreed with this administration's policies. Right now the White House is too preoccupied with damage control with the latest leaker in chief scandal. Meanwhile, a Thank You Harry website is now online. It's really unfortunate that a 61 year old real estate agent in Charlotte, North Carolina has to ask the questions that career reporters have failed to ask. I guess Harry doesn't have to worry about staying in favor with this administration.
