QUESTIONER SHARPLY CRITICIZES PRESIDENT BUSH AT APPEARANCE
[Duchess Note – Three cheers and a hearty BRAVO to Mr. Taylor for standing up and speaking his mind recently to Bushit. Does not surprise me that W still won’t apologize for the numerous crimes that he and his regime have committed in 5 years. Also, how dare those compliant ignorant folk in the audience “booed” someone like Mr. Taylor. They should be ashamed of themselves. Every single one of them. Check out article by Carl Pope on Mr. Taylor further down in this section of Duchess Blog. We need more Mr. Taylor’s in this world. Bravo!]
