In a classic example of "preaching to the choir", Al Gore spoke on MLK Day regarding Bush and wiretapping before a forum of members of the Liberty Coalition, a civil liberties advocacy group, and the American Constitution Society for Law and Public Policy, a liberal legal group. They were on the edge of their chairs while Gore reviled the Bush Administration for what he deemed to be an utter disregard for the Constitution and the laws of the US.
From AXcessNews.com: In speaking before several civil liberty advocacy groups in Washington, former vice president Al Gore criticized President Bush over his administration's policy of evesdropping in on Americans phone conversations without getting a warrant from the court first. Gore said Bush repeatedly broke the law and ignorred people's civil rights in the process, often raising his voice as he blasted the presidency.
Gore called on the attorney general to investigate the matter, recommending further that Congress hold "comprehensive - not just superficial - hearings." The former vice president even blamed telephone companies and said that they should stop cooperating in illegal activities like surveillance without proof of a court order to do so.
It is this same disrespect for America's Constitution which has now brought our republic to the brink of a dangerous breach in the fabric of the Constitution," Mr. Gore said. "And the disrespect embodied in these apparent mass violations of the law is part of a larger pattern of seeming indifference to the Constitution that is deeply troubling to millions of Americans in both political parties."
And Albert Gore Jr. would know what about this whole wiretap scandal? Nothing at all. He's been out of the White House since 2001. Nothing at all, other than what he's read in the New York Times or what he's spoonfed from other pundits that he chooses to believe. At one point he was a heartbeat from the Presidency, and he feels that gives his words regarding the current situation more gravity. But he's so out of the loop that he doesn't know anything that's really going on.
See, what Gore's audience chooses to ignore is that Gore is no longer a part of the administration and therefore would no direct access to information for him to support his claims of the Bush administration breaching Constitutional law. He's just literally echoing what the media has already played up - and the audience bought hook, line, and sinker.
Al Gore has been out of the Washington DC political scene since 2001 and now promotes himself as a professor and entrepreneur, but what he does best is sell his services in speaking engagements - like the one he soapboxed at in DC yesterday.
