Huh? 2

After watching some clips of AlGore's speech I don't know what he said or how he said it to get James Joyner to write,

I don’t know whether the bitterness of his narrow defeat in 2000 finally pushed him over the edge or if this is just the latest iteration of Gore’s never-ending quest for a personality, but I’m thankful this loon isn’t in charge of our nuclear arsenal.

AlGore was angry and full of righteous indignation, yes, where did he lose it? I disagreed with most of his speech, but didn't notice a Dean-like wacko moment. His bombast may be a change from the wooden, boring, Kerry-like personna he mostly displayed as a Senator and Vice President, but his book Earth in the Balance showed he could go off the deep end when it came to the environment.

Maybe after putting up with a few years of outrageous Bush bashing I've become inured to it. I guess I'm going to have to block some time and endure the entire speech if I can find it. But if you know of an incriminating video clip or soundbite, leave a comment, e-mail, or trackback.

P.S. Yes, you just experienced a mild defense of AlGore. No need to adjust your browser. Don't send the paramedics my way. I'm just fine.
