Reaction: Al Gore piles on the Bush criticism in new book

In Al Gore's new book, The Assault on Reason, he is said to brutally criticize the Bush administration on just about every issue under the sun. According to Daily Kos (via an ABC News article), Gore says Bush and Cheney are "...genuinely unfit to lead our nation." I think this is some pretty harsh criticism from a man who couldn't even beat Bush in the first place. I also think that it's a lot easier to criticize when you haven't been in the situations Bush and his administration have been in. I'd like to make it clear I'm not defending Bush's decisions, but I am saying it's hard to be so overcritical until you've had to make those decisions for yourself. I'd also like to say that I think Gore has done an excellent job remaking his image. Daily Kos is hoping he'll decide to run for President again, I'm hoping he'll decide to stick to his new image as a political watch dog and make his commentaries from outside the political arena. Who knows though, with his new found popularity he may be gung-ho to throw it all away again. If nothing else, at least the book sounds like an interesting read.
