Truth To Power

Harry Taylor, a citizen of the United States, said to President Bush today:

“I feel like despite your rhetoric, that compassion and common sense have been left far behind during your administration,” Taylor said, standing in a balcony seat and looking down at Bush on stage. “And I would hope from time to time that you have the humility and grace to be ashamed of yourself.”

Bush’s response?

“[A]bsolutely not.”

UPDATE: ThinkProgress has the full exchange.

UPDATE 2: Crooks and Liars has the video and we’d highly recommend you go watch it. We at DoubleSpeak applaud Harry Taylor and he is welcome on our show any time.
