OLIVER KAMM says he hoped for a Gore victory in 2000 — on foreign policy grounds. Now he feels differently: “How wrong could I have been? . . . Al Gore confirmed his unfitness for public office with a speech whose standards of tawdriness and mendacity will remain unsurpassed till the stars burn out and the heavens implode.”

UPDATE: Charles Austin is also unimpressed: “This level of detachment from reality is not easily achieved.”
