Gore, articulate and angry

Everybody's linking it. So am I.

Al Gore excoriates Bush.

And all people have against him are spurious arguments about the Internet.

Gore is one of the most intelligent people I've ever read interviewed. During a profile done several years ago in The New Yorker, he casually segued into a discussion on the effects of animist religious beliefs on societal advancement and how it avoids the search for deeper explanations. Now, I don't like being an intellectualist, bug geez, what an interesting concept to discuss.

Compare with Bush.

One criticism: Gore should have included references in the written version of his speach. Maybe he has elsewhere, or maybe someone will annotate it.
