Jon’s Corner of the Whirled

I found this eloquent speech Al Gore made on the 18th (Thanks to building the margins). It is a very long speech, but certainly worth the time to read it.

This is a particularly salient quote from the speech:

“It is clear that President Bush has absolute faith in a rigid, right-wing ideology. He ignores the warnings of his experts. He forbids any dissent and never tests his assumptions against the best available evidence. He is arrogantly out of touch with reality. He refuses to ever admit mistakes. Which means that as long as he is our President, we are doomed to repeat them. It is beyond incompetence. It is recklessness that risks the safety and security of the American people.”

I have heard John Kerry make similar statements. Is anyone listening?

Update: I added the link to the speech above. Silly me to forget it the first time.
