Gore, who was a very active member of the House Science and Transportation committee, is probably one of the most qualified politicians to talk about science. His Internet "lie" was not a lie at all. The bill he authored and introduced as a member of the Science committee was instrumental in creating the Internet, which is exactly what he said in the interview that the Rove spin machine converted into a "lie". According to Wikipedia: "In the late 1980s, Gore introduced the Gore Bill, which was later passed as the High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991. Leonard Kleinrock, a key player in the development of the ARPANET, considers the act to be a critical moment in Internet history."
