Algor strikes again - I blew the whistle on Love Canal: AL GORE'S LOVE WHOPPER Again, Al Gore has told a whopper. Again, he's been caught red-handed and again, he has been left sputtering and apologizing. This time, he falsely took credit for breaking the Love Canal story back in 1979. Gore did hold the first hearings on the matter in Congress -- two months after nearby homes were evacuated and President Carter had declared a state of emergency in the area. Yep. Another Al Gore bold-faced lie. Remember when he proclaimed that the 1970 tearjerker, "Love Story," was based on him and Tipper -- which came as news to the book's author, Erich Segal? Later we learned that Gore -- who arrived in Congress in the mid 1970s -- "invented" the Internet. This was news to the Department of Defense scientists who developed the original "arpanet" in the late 1960s. He has suggested that, during his Vietnam tour of duty, he often stood guard at various bases, sometimes having to fire upon intruders. No one who was there re- members Gore, a roving Army journalist, ever standing guard as a base visitor. And on and on it goes. Al Gore appears to have as much difficulty telling the truth as his boss, Bill Clinton. But Gore's lies are not just false, they're outrageously, stupidly, false. It's so easy to determine that he's lying, you have to wonder if he wants to be found out. Does he enjoy the embarrassment? Is he hell-bent on destroying his own campaign? To spare him future embarrassment after this Love Canal business -- not to mention the "Love Story" thing -- we offer the following counsel to the vice president: "Al, you didn't write ‘Love Shack.' That would be the B-52s, Al. You didn't host ‘Love Connection.' That would be Chuck Woolery. You never dated Jennifer Love Hewitt. That would be Carson Daly. Got that, Mr. Vice President?" Of course, if Al Gore is determined to turn himself into a national laughingstock, who are we to stand in his way? nypost.com Gore's version of the Love Canal story was another embarrassment for the vice president, who earlier this year stumbled by asserting he invented the Internet, that he grew up as a hardscrabble farm boy and served as the inspiration for the novel and film "Love Story." Republican National Chairman Jim Nicholson said, "Next he'll be telling us he discovered Niagara Falls, how Tipper (Gore's wife) first navigated the Hudson River and how Hillary (Rodham Clinton) built the Erie Canal with no one but Naomi Wolf to help her." Wolf, a feminist, is an adviser to the Gore campaign. "He keeps reinventing himself," Nicholson said. "It's a pattern of phoniness, and it would be funny if it weren't also a little scary." www1.buffnews.com
