VIDEO: Al Gore's Speech Highlights, and more from BuzzFlash
Today's BuzzFlash laudatory message thanks Al Gore and highlights the lackluster, pathetic Democrats and the cowed mainstream, corporate US media. As always, BuzzFlash's daily introductions to their headlines are gems which I enjoy, and thought I'd share them with readers here:" True transformations in politics are as rare as palm trees in the Arctic Circle.
But Al Gore is that palm tree.
On Martin Luther King Day, Al Gore took us to the mountaintop and allowed us to view the desecrated landscape of Constitutional rubble that the Bush Administration has spread across America. Gore has, for the last three years, been a prophet of saving our democracy and restoring out Constitution.
As expected, the mainstream press, ever afraid to offend Bush, has largely ignored or margianlized Al Gore's spectacular speeches holding up a mirror to the reality of the Bush Administration. Indeed, in the front page of the moring January 17th Internet editions of the Washington Post and the New York Times, not a single story could be found on the Gore speech (except for a story in the rolling AP list on the NYT about the current Bush consigliere -- and U.S. Attorney General -- Alberto Gonzales refuting Gore!).
The fact that the two major Eastern "establishment" papers can, in terms of top stories, basically shut out the man who was elected president in 2000 --despite his deliverance of a speech that provided an abundance of evidence that Bush broke the law and has precipitated a Constitutional crisis -- well that about says it all for the fall of the mainstream media into Royal Court propaganda publications.
And the mainstream D.C. Democrats, particularly in the Senate, appear more concerned about protecting their status quo "day jobs" than protecting the Constitution. They haven't rallied to Gore's side either -- or to the side of heroes like John Murtha, a man speaking on behalf of members of the Pentagon elite echelon who believe Bush and Rumsfeld are destroying our military capabilities with the ill-fated, misbegotten Iraq War.
No, lackluster Senators like Dianne Feinstein do the administration's work by signaling there won't be a Democratic filibuster of Alito. Di-Fi says that Alito did just fine in the hearings. Yeah, she says she won't vote for him, but that is meaningless without a filibuster. Di-Fi has long been an administration enabler, never risking much of anything on a vote or a pronouncement. She'll not join a filibuster, even though Alito adamantly believes in the concept of Bush as the "unitary executive," which, in the vernacular means, a man with dictatorial powers. Di-Fi would rather allow an egomaniac of immense mediocrity and incompetence become an entrenched ruler with dictatorial powers than speak out for our Constitution.
Al Gore isn't just brining the truth to the Bush Administration. He is bringing it to a Democratic establishment which has been ethically compromised and corrupted by their personal sinecures and commitment to their Senate positions, rather than their commitment to our Constitution.
This is Al Gore day on our BuzzFlash alerts, because Al Gore has the temerity to tell the truth with passion and alarm -- and document his assertions everystep of the way.
Gore is the real thing, someone who went through a personal crisis, traveled to the mountain top, and saw the light.
It was fitting that he delivered his latest salvo in defense of our Constitution and form of checks and balances on Martin Luther King Day.
Thank you, Al. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. "
