Al Bore's name was invoked in reference to his claims of inventing the
internet
etc.


Anthony,

I thought maybe you were commenting on the part Dan said about lawsuits,
rather than wild claims.

As you know, the story about Al Gore claiming to have 'invented' the
internet, is just as fictional as Dan Quayle wishing he'd learned Latin
better in school so he could talk to folks in Latin America.

The funniest picture of Quayle was of him in South America holding an RPG
launcher backwards whil a local general was standing behind him getting ready
to crack up.

I saw a clip on TV where Al Bore DID claim to have invented the internet. I
know he didn't mean it that way. I believe he was in Congress in the 1970s and
voted for funding for the internet.
