Excerpted
In December of 2000, even though I strongly disagreed with the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to order a halt to the counting of legally cast ballots, I saw it as my duty to reaffirm my own strong belief that we are a nation of laws and not only accept the decision, but do what I could to prevent efforts to delegitimize George Bush as he took the oath of office as president.
I did not at that moment imagine that Bush would, in the presidency that ensued, demonstrate utter contempt for the rule of law and work at every turn to frustrate accountability...

Gore: Rumsfeld, Rice, Tenet Should Resign
By SARA KUGLER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) - Al Gore issued a fiery denunciation Wednesday of Bush administration policy in Iraq and demanded the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, CIA director George Tenet and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice.
In a speech at New York University, the Democratic former vice president said the situation in Iraq is out of control.
"I am calling today for Republicans as well as Democrats to join me in asking for the immediate resignations of those immediately below George Bush and Dick Cheney, who are most responsible for creating the catastrophe we are facing in Iraq," Gore said, drawing strong applause from the partisan crowd.
"Donald Rumsfeld ought to resign immediately!" Gore bellowed. "Our nation is at risk every single day Rumsfeld remains as secretary of defense. We need someone with good judgment and common sense."
Rice "ought to resign immediately. She has badly mishandled the coordination of national security policy. This is a disaster for our country," he said.
The former presidential candidate was gentler on Tenet, describing him as a friend and "honorable man" who should still leave his position for intelligence failures.

oh my god, this man has totally come un-glued.
"Consensus" is a DNC synonym for "unilateral". Both mean "Bribe France"
Maybe he's hoping for a role in a future Dem ticket?
Too bad Saturday Night Live's season is over. Darrell Hammond would have had a field day with this one. It is very high on the Unintentional Comedy Scale.
His oil for food check just arrived.Can you imagine this guy by november.
How did we get from September 12th , 2001, when a leading French newspaper ran a giant headline with the words "We Are All Americans Now"
Because, on September 12th 2001, France saw a United States that was bloodied and hurting, and they could relate, having been subjected to large scale evil in their own homeland. They felt a kinship with that.
But after that, we got up, dusted our national self off and systematically began killing the people and regimes that were determined to harm us. When most of the world refused to help, we resolved to do it by ourselves if necessary.
Our reaction to attack subliminally made them hate their own history of sniveling cowardice, which they channeled into resentment and expressed as disdain.
We are foreign to them, and they to us.
I don't feel humiliated.
Anybody here feel humiliated?
What a loon.
This is a send-up, isn't it? Al's unhinged....
How, by returning the bronze bust YOU STOLE ON YOUR WAY OUT?
Aside from the utter insanity of Gore's remarks, once again he has shown he has the political timing of a gnat.
He seems to be assisting the process of his own marginalization.
"Paging Belleview Hospital...send
team with large net for a capture,
backed up by a tranquillizer gun
with large dart supply...STAT!!!"
Aww, he just wanted to be on Hannity's show again. And Sean has complied, it was the first thing I heard on his show today.
