<<Gore invented facts 32 times last night. >> Only 32 lies? He must have been on truth serum. I'd like to see a debate where the candidates were hooked up to a lie detector and an electric fence pulser. Tell a lie and get a 1,400 volt jolt. Then we'd see DANCING AL.

The Gore invention tour: Invention: 9.01 pm Gore said that he never questioned Governor Bush's level of experience. Fact: False. Gore has repeatedly questioned the Governor's experience: "In any case, Mr. Gore continued his theme from the morning speech, saying that Mr. Bush's call for a huge tax cut 'raises the question, "Does he have the experience to be president?" (Katharine Q. Seelye, "Gore Challenges Bush Credibility on Policy Speeches," The New York Times, April 13, 2000)" "I think that [Governor Bush's views on the military], which has been expressed by some, really reflects inexperience and naiveté." (Al Gore, Military Times, April 5, 2000) "Gore campaign spokesman Chris Lehane is even less subtle, cracking that a pile of Bush budget documents looked awfully heavy 'for a lightweight.'" (Sandra Sobieraj, "The Subject is Policy, the Words Personal," The Associated Press, May 4, 2000).

More from the Gore invention tour: Invention: 9.53 pm Gore said he supports a 28% tax credit on $10,000 of college tuition. Fact: Gore misrepresents his tuition tax credit plan. If a family has $10,000 on hand to pay for college, Al Gore says he will give a 28% tuition tax credit up to $2800 per year for only one child per family. However, Al Gore misrepresents his plan by not specifying that $2,000 of his proposed tax credit would come from the already-existing Lifetime Learning credit. Gore’s college "tax credit would come from an already existing program or that the new tax credit, worth $800, wasn’t refundable. That keeps down the price tag, but means students working their way through college, who have very little taxable income, wouldn’t benefit much." (Pamela Yip, "Gore’s Economic Proposals Get Mixed Reviews From Experts," The Dallas Morning News, August 22, 2000; "Interview with Mark Fabiani," Fox News Sunday, August 27, 2000; Bob Davis and John D. McKinnon, "Basics of Campaign Math: Promise High, Budget Low," The Wall Street Journal, August 31, 2000)
