A New American Hero

"While I listen to you talk about freedom, I see you assert your right to tap my telephone, to arrest me and hold me without charges. What I wanted to say to you is that I — in my lifetime, I have never felt more ashamed of, nor more frightened by my leadership in Washington, including the presidency, by the Senate. I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and the grace to be ashamed of yourself." Harry Taylor, 61, a commercial real estate broker, speaking to President Bush in Charlotte, NC yesterday, as quoted in The New York Times.

Truth, now: Would you really have the guts to face the President of the United States and talk like that? I like to think I would, but I wonder.

Maybe not, but I could DEFINITELY tell Cheney to 'go f** himself'

I dunno.

How hard can it be to talk straight to Lancelot Link anyway?
