Jog Around the Blogosphere: Ecstatic Kudos for Al Gore's Blistering Speech
Here at Landmark Speech by Al Gore on US Constitutional Crisis Created by George Bush , I culled major excerpts from Al's lengthy speech. It also includes a link to the complete speech text.
Let's take a jog around the blogosphere to sample the celebrations by liberals that we actually DO have one leader wiling to call-out Emperor George on his criminality
----------
From Biscuit's Blog, "Al Gore rocks my frickin world...never did I ever think that formally bland unfunny guy would make me all tingly inside...
If you didn't catch his MLK speech today, I invite.. nay.. beseech you to check it out... it's much better if you can catch it on CSPAN or on the net...."

From vyrdolak1998 at LiveJournal,"Wow. What an amazing speech by Al Gore! I didn't hear the speech... I read the entire text, which is linked above, and I've been hearing excerpts of it on AirAmerica Radio. Reminds me of why I voted for the guy. *sigh*"

From Flights of Ideation, "Where was this Al Gore in 2000? Wow. With this kind of passion he could have won by a margin wide enough to counteract the cheating thuggery on the right....
I don’t know the answers or even all the questions. But I do know that things have to change. Too many people are willing to sit back and let the government just happen. That leaves it on the shoulders of people who really care. WE have to make it change. Or maybe it’s too late. Maybe fascism is already here to stay and we just don’t know it yet. "

From Anne-Marie Slaughter at top community blog TPMCafe, "The perfect follow-on to Michael Kinsley's ruminations about how we can't move Americans with abstractions is Al Gore's fabulous Martin Luther King Day speech yesterday 'On the Limits of Executive Power.' Frankly, if this kind of appeal cannot mobilize the American people, I am not sure anything will....
Surely these issues of claimed unassailable executive power go to the very heart of what it means to be a democracy, regardless of which side of the political divide you are on. With a rallying cry of liberty and justice... for all, the Democrats just might live up to their name and speak for a genuine democracy as our founders imagined it and our people have created it. "
----------
From Anthony Ioven at 604, "Which is the real Al Gore? The wooden Indian who ran for president in 2000? Or the one who yesterday delivered that fiery, hard-hitting, plain-spoken speech?
The media hyped the speech for days, and I thought it was sure to disappoint. But Gore came through, magnificently, to the sound of "thunderous ovations." Gore has put the ball in play. Now, can the Democrats run with it?
----------
And from JavaManny at top liberal community DailyKos, "A great degree of momentum is coalescing...around Al Gore.
There are a lot of good reasons for that. He's the most experienced candidate we could put up and has a record of accomplishment that can't be touched. He was against the Iraq war and stood up and said so when most Dems were scared to utter a peep. He's a big thinker with tremendous foresight on issues like the environment and technology (yes, he did sponsor the Senate legislation that funded the launch of the internet as a public/commercial entity).
Plus, his election would state for all of history that the Bush, Jr. years were rejected by Americans who chose a path back to peace, prosperity and sanity....
Vice President Gore - jump in with both feet. Your country needs you now. And we will have your back."
