Did anyone out there who looks at this journal tape, TiVo, or otherwise record Al Gore's speech of the other day? I read it, but wanted to watch it...

I have an mp3 of it. Audio only, but I can send it to you if you can't find anything else.

Not handy for the moment, but for the long-term -- Just got this in my email:

Dear MoveOn member,

Yesterday, we sponsored a powerful speech by former Vice President Al Gore on the fallout from the war in Iraq. In the speech, Mr. Gore took on the Bush administration, arguing that the "abuse of the prisoners at Abu Ghraib flowed directly from the abuse of the truth that characterized the Administration's march to war and the abuse of the trust that had been placed in President Bush by the American people in the aftermath of September 11th." To sustained applause, he then called for the architects of the Bush foreign policy – Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, George Tenet, Paul Wolfowitz, and others -- to resign, arguing that "the current team is making things worse with each passing day."

You can read a full transcript of the speech and watch a great five-minute video of the highlights at:

We're also offering a DVD of the speech, which will be sent out in four to six weeks, for a $5 contribution. To order a DVD now, go to:

I may just invest in the DVD. I can skip lunch for one day next week, I think.

Thanks!

Would love to hear it. Maybe I'm just engaging in wishful thinking, but I like to believe that when all is said and done, that will be one of the most important speeches of the 21st century...

I donated $10 to Kerry's campaign. Tell them that I earmarked five of it for you. *g*

MoveOn and Kerry aren't connected - aren't allowed to have any connection at all, 'cos of campaign-finance laws - but I appreciate the gesture anyway. :)
