The speech which you will hear in this podcast was given today, January 16, 2006 by Vice President Albert Gore. It is the one of the two most amazing speeches I have ever heard in my life. Think of the power of Barack Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic Presidential Convention, and you’ll get a clue, but this speech is much more important, for in this speech, Al Gore set the frame for the investigations that will lead to the impeachment of George W. Bush, and for the reclamation of Congress in 2006 that will make those impeachment hearings possible.
Al Gore had the courage today to say what we have all been thinking. George W. Bush has engaged in grave violations of the law in the pursuit of unprecented power, and he must be held accountable. We, the people of the United States of America, have the responsibility to restore the rule of law that President Bush has laid to waste.
Thank you, Vice President Gore.

Let’s all envision in our mind’s eye Bush with his confused weasel look, Cheney with his Dracula snarl, their hands cuffed behind their back, armed gaurds all around, as they are led to a life of incarceration. Celebrations will ensue throughout the land. It will be the day we were liberated from fascism.
J, thanks for this audio post. I posted the entire speech on my site, along with some comments, and will continue to beat the drum. Thanks again. Oh, and neat site!

FINALLY! Someone stepped up and swung away! Go AL!
Thank you for protecting my Civil Rights and the Rights of the citizens of the United States of America! GREAT SPEECH on Martin Luther King Day, 2006!
THANK YOU… a thousand times!!!!
Yes, Gore’s speech is what Martin Luther King Jr. Day should really be all about – not just some idea that Dr. King was only concerned with the particular issue of civil rights for African-Americans.
Contrast Gore’s speech to Bush’s speech. Bush tried to contain Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but Al Gore understood the spirit with which Martin Luther King, Jr. worked. Dr. King was concerned with liberty for all people.
The Republicans would love for Martin Luther King Day to be just a holiday for black people. That way, they could defeat Dr. King’s real movement for freedom, while claiming that everything’s okay just because there’s no separate fountain for colored people any more.

He’s unhinged, and he’s full of sh*t. I pay him no mind.
Interesting comment, Michael. Do you have any particular statement in Gore’s speech that leads you to say that he’s unhinged? Is there any statement in that speech that was particularly full of shit? I can’t find any statement in Gore’s speech that’s not scrupulously based upon facts and a thorough understanding of American history and constitutional law.
But then, again, maybe you didn’t read or listen to the speech, Michael. Maybe you just kind of heard Fox News or Rush Limbaugh ranting about Gore, and decided you didn’t like the speech either – without ever hearing it.
No? Then prove it, Michael. Name one specific statement Gore made during the speech that was unhinged.
I’m waiting…
We’ll be waiting a long, long time for Michael to respond!
Great speech, Al. Now, take the next step and announce your candidacy
for President in ’08.

wow, when I read your
i searched the web for al gore audio so I can pull lyrics out of his speach to put over electronic dance beats. After reading the intro to your blog – i thought you were a right-winger – i couldn’t believe anyone would seriously endorse Al Gore for pres unles they really wanted the defeat of the Democratic party.
keep up the great work!!! ha
Yeah, I mean, hell, who would want a government in which the rule of law prevailed? Stupid left-wing notion! Haw haw!
Because, you know, that’s what the subject of his speech was and all.
Stupid rule of frickin’ law! Man, are liberals out of touch!
this sucks
This country needs a brilliant leader. I believe that Al Gore is the brilliant man that could save America from the fascists who have begun our Democracy’s destruction.
Al Gore freaks out at Live Earth.

Well, here we are at the end of 2007. No hearings. Impeachment “off the table.” Conyers stonewalling Kucinich’s impeachment resolution. Every major newspaper REFUSING TO PUBLISH the op-ed by three House Judiciary Committee members (including Robert Wexler of Florida and 2 others) calling for hearings to begin. The Senate ready to give Bush everything he wants in the way of immunity for the telecom megacorporations who have helped Bush spy on us since BEFORE 9/11, thanks to Senate Democrats Jay Rockefeller, Dianne Feinstein, and of course Harry Reid, who claims to oppose immunity but has done everything in his power to get it passed, from refusing to honor Chris Dodd’s hold on the bill, to favoring that version of the bill over a Judiciary Committee version that didn’t have immunity in it.
That scratches the surface, barely.
Now what do we do?
