Thread Name: BS: A Folky Strikes Back
Subject: RE: BS: A Folky Strikes Back
The Washington Post seems to think that Bush's people orchestrated the media opportunity and gave Taylor a chance to speak so that Bush could "show that he can take criticism" to bolster his sagging poll numbers. Certianly its no secret who Taylor is. I'm glad they chose a folkie. I'm sure they did so because they thought that folkies were wild eyed fanatical, protest loving, simple minded, idealists; easy prey for the famous Bush "humor". Well I'm glad they made the mistake of chosing Harry of all the Folkies out there and I'm glad that Harry was so articulate, so calm and so gracious. When Bush, did laugh at him. When Bush interupted to make a snide banal, unfunny and off topic comment. Bush looked like a simpering, smirking fool. Harry let the little emperor show us the true lack of substance in his new clothes.
