One can only wonder at how different things would be now if Al Gore had served as President instead of Bush. They would have probably prevented 9/11, preventing the whole Afghanistan to Iraq misadventure, no torture, no Abu Ghraib, no violation of the Geneva Convention, no Gitmo, no huge tax cuts for the wealthy, more investment in renewable energy, and on and on.... I think one reason the Republicans despise Gore so much is their own lack of anyone with any intellectual heft. And they spit on what they cannot have for themselves.
Gore laid out a damning case against Bush and McCain, but he talked too fast during his speech. Probably trying to adhere to a time limit.
The transcript of Al's speech is here.
