The funny thing is that no one can find the old news clipping from 30 years ago when this "urban legend" was first broached by Al Gore: chicagotribune.com "I wanted to see that old article from the Tennessean, figuring that the 1970 misquote would establish that Gore had been truthful in 1997 when referencing "Love Story." Tuesday, I asked the Gore campaign in Nashville and the Democratic National Committee for a copy. As they looked without success, Tribune researcher Colleen Vander Hye was exploring numerous avenues with a counterpart at the Nashville paper, where political editor Frank Gibson helped search old clipping files. "Nothing so far," Gibson told me late Friday. "But that doesn't mean it's not here. The old filing system isn't perfect by any means" ************** It would seem that inadequate filing systems aren't solely the problem of the Vice-President's office (with regard to all of those emails).... But here's another Gore lie for you: SOFT MONEY March 15, 2000; CNN CLAIM: "What I did yesterday was to call on the Democratic National Committee—and they'll comply with this—to not spend any of the so-called soft money on these issue ads unless and until the Republican Party does." TRUTH: "The Democratic National Committee announced a $25 million summer ad campaign, paid for with soft money. The Republicans, so far, have not bought ads with soft money for Bush."
