Posted by caribou barbie, Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 4:58 pm The story that Gore said he 'invented' the internet was created by Dick Armey, a Republican member of Congress. Armey's imaginary wording was then picked up by the media, since what Gore actually said wasn't a good enough story.
Posted by um.. wrong, Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 6:14 pm Gore said that the internet would not have been invented if legislation he sponsored did not exist. That is also not true. 'Al Gore invented the internet' is just shorthand for saying 'Al Gore is a lying, hypocritical, do as I say not as I do liberal nutjob.' Which he is. Gore's monthly oilburning electricity is more than most people's annual salary and his kid drives a Prius around at 100 mph waked out on prescription drugs. Give me a break.
Posted by dj spellchecka, Thursday, November 5, 2009, 11:42 am According to Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of the Internet, 'The Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his earlier role as Senator.'Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University, claims that Gore was perhaps the first political leader to grasp the importance of networking the country.'
