Al Gore took credit for inventing the Internet?!?
THE MONKEY MAIL CLAIMS:
Democrats will lie, cheat and steal from their mothers. Al Gore said that he would abide by the people, the people spoke, and he and the democrats don;t know right from wrong. They speak from both sides of their mouth.NOw Gore who invented the internet???????Give me a break"
SPANKING THE MONKEY
Transcript: Vice President Gore on CNN's 'Late Edition' March 9, 1999
CNN'S WOLF BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now.
Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?
AL GORE: Well, I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system. During a quarter century of public service, including most of it long before I came into my current job, I have worked to try to improve the quality of life in our country and in our world. And what I've seen during that experience is an emerging future that's very exciting, about which I'm very optimistic, and toward which I want to lead.
By the way, although the press has debunked this stupid story about a million times, Republicans keep banging that tired old drum. Why? Because they cannot attack Gore's morality (he was never a pantyhound like George W.), or his policies (most Americans give Gore and the Democrats the edge on the issues). So they keep throwing lies around, hoping some will catch on. Some do. The world is full of stupid people.
CASE IN POINT: (I don't have to name names, do I?)
MORE ON GORE AND THE INTERNET FROM BOB DELAY (Yes, 'that' Delay... READ ON)
From: Bob DeLay To: thediva@coup2k.com BCC: bc_pubshort@yahoo.com ; MWO Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 12:54 AM Subject: al gore and the internet
Sometimes I feel so all alone in the world.
According to Microsoft's very own reference resource, BOOKSHELF '96, Al Gore did pretty much invent the internet. We might assume that Microsoft would have a pretty good handle on that particular issue and would know what they're/it's talking about. Here's an excerpt from an article entitled, "The Internet: How did it originate?" (That's "ORIGINATE". Does something "originate" when it is "invented", dammit? So let's put this crap to rest forever. THROW IT AT THE PIGS!) The excerpt:
"In 1991, Vice President Al Gore, then a U.S. senator, proposed widening the architecture of NSFNET to include more K-12 schools, community colleges, and 2-year colleges. The resulting legislation expanded NSFNET and renamed it NREN (National Research and Educational Network). This bill also allowed businesses to purchase part of the network for commercial uses. The mass commercialization of today's Internet is the direct result of this legislation." (That is a verbatim, copied-and-pasted quote.)
I repeat for effect: "THE MASS COMMERCIALIZATION OF TODAY'S INTERNET IS THE DIRECT RESULT OF THIS LEGISLATION." Well, heck: it looks very much as if Al Gore invented in the Internet!
Of course, Bill Gates (Columbia and Funk & Wagnalls) doesn't know anything about all that. Shall we defer, then, to the wisdom of Nazi propaganda vomitous Trent Lott, Bob Barr and BIG FAT ASS PIG SLOP FILTH GARBAGE BOY (the spokesperson of the GOP/brood hog)? It would appear that Gore was, in fact, extremely modest in his assertions. No, he didn't say he did it, but he did!
IMPEACH DUBYA THE WONDERMONKEY AND F*** ALL REPUBLICANS! Or, as I have said so many times before, yet never so poignantly as now, "THERE IS NOTHING LOWER THAN A REPUBLICAN!" I know: I'm Tom DeLay's cousin.
NEXT: GOP COUNTIES' MANUAL RECOUNTS?
