A real town hall meeting

The Anchoress continues to be one of the finest blogs on the web. For example:

You simply must read about the exchange. An impromptu town hall meeting such as this, where nobody is swayed by the thoughts of being in print or on TV, probably tells us more about America than anything cable news or Katie Couric could ever muster. Yes, the Gorebot was mocked, but notice how Bush was both bashed and praised at the same time.
