This Ladies And Gents is SPALLS!

For those who do not frequent Eschaton, Spalls is the combination of: Spine and Balls. Al Gore sure as hell showed that he had a large brass set of both. Damn Al if you would have spoken with this much vigor and definition you'd be serving a second term right now instead of the Indictable and Impeachable Shrub.

Gore Says Bush Broke the Law With Spying Warrantless Surveillance an Example of 'Indifference' to Constitution, He Charges
By Chris Cillizza Special to The Washington Post Tuesday, January 17, 2006; Page A03 Former vice president Al Gore accused President Bush of breaking the law by authorizing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without court warrants and called on Congress yesterday to reassert its oversight responsibilities on a "shameful exercise of power" by the White House.

"The president of the United States has been breaking the law repeatedly and insistently," Gore said in a speech at Constitution Hall in Washington. "A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government."

Al Gore, publicly, loudly, and with conviction has given those who care about individual rights, civil rights, and the Constitution a rallying cry. "Simple Scotty" McClellan's obfuscations of the truth aside, this current administration has defined where Sam "I struggled" Alito would not, just what a "Unitary Executive" is. Gore expounds on this theory by placing the "unitary executive" ideology in its proper context.

"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 Americans in both political parties," Gore said. The Bush administration's actions have "brought our republic to the brink of a dangerous breach in the fabric of the Constitution," he added.
