Herbert wrote today about Al Gore's environment speech in NYC; about his passion, about his grasp of not only BushCo's rape of the environment in the name of donor quid pro quo, but of the larger danger of Shrubby's cabal. Read the entire article here, but these two paragraphs are just so outstanding that I had to include them in this post:
The fates dealt Mr. Gore and the United States a weird hand in 2000. He got the most votes but the other guy became president. And the country, its Treasury looted and its most pressing needs deliberately ignored, has been rolling backward ever since.
"This is insanity," said Mr. Gore, referring to the administration's handling of the environment. But his speech made it clear that he could just as easily have applied that sentiment to the full range of Bush-Cheney policies. History will not be kind to the chicanery that passes for governing in the Bush II administration.
