Remember this? (lots of liberal blogs are linking to it today.)
It is a speech delivered on September 23, 2002, in which the man robbed of the presidency by a poorly designed ballot[*], argued against the war in Iraq. Today, as Republicans climb over each other to abandon Bush and his sinking ship of a presidency, Gore looks like a prophet.
(Yes, he seemed much more like a prophet back when he wore that scraggly beard, and occassionally spoke in tounges. But, nonetheless.)
[*] Some say that the Supreme Court was complicit in this act of robbery, too. I disagree. The fact that every single one of the justices decided Bush v. Gore in accordance with their own party affiliations is just one of those remarkable coincidences that make the world such an interesting place.
