Al Gore on the Republican convention and other topics (Updated)

Al Gore joined Current TV regulars Cenk Uygur, Jennifer Granholm, Eliot Spitzer and comedian John Fugelsang to do live commentary on the Republican convention this week. Here are some excerpts, including some pointed observations from Gore on the state of American democracy:

In this one, Gore talks about the failure of our whole system in the Iraq War and gets more passionate as he moves on to global warming, Al Gore on whether it's fair to blame George W. Bush and the ugly truth about global warming 08/29/2012. "We have problems, serious problems in our democracy," Gore says. Later he adds that "our democracy is in deep trouble and all of us have an obligation to try to fix it." [Update: Well, I don't get it. It seems to be down for the moment. Current TV's YouTube channel seems to have issues like this occasionally. Here it is on the Current website but you have to go to the link to see it play.]
