Al Gore: Twirling, Twirling Toward Flapdoodle

I'm beginning to suspect that Al Gore is putting us on.

There's not a lot of evidence that the man has a sense of humor, but it seems more likely that his increasingly detached tirades are the stuff of a long-term farce than the actual ravings of a respected (or listened-to, anyway) statesman.

The current vituperative rant against Bush, America, and security is still in progress, so I'll withhold final belittlement until it's over, but if this is for real, someone needs to get this man some help.

Update:

The Political Teen has the video.  Fear the growl.
Drudge has a transcript.

A representative gem:

Second, new whistleblower protections should immediately be established for members of the Executive Branch who report evidence of wrongdoing -- especially where it involves the abuse of Executive Branch authority in the sensitive areas of national security.

Encouraging national security leaks... what could go wrong?
