Re: Gore knows a lot more about the formulation of the internet. Do you honestly think he would say he invented it? Actually, the word invent is a stretch.... I mean, it's as if JFK'd have claimed "I invented the moon!" However, we all acknowledge that JFK did indeed initiate NASA's thrust towards the moon (Apollo program).

Not how I view it. The "Mouth" could do nothing but babble, interrupt, and go over his alloted time spans. Frankly, considering how stacked the questions were, I am surprised Bore didn't do better. All they did was serve up "soft ball" questions from that socialist moderator who ran the show as well as puts out propaganda on National Public Television, and the democratic party hacks who were the "undecided" voters asking questions. That "debate" was a waste of time. The fact that they had to do a "set up" with such a slanted crowd shows just how lame Bore is. How come nobody asked as simple a question as to how the current administration allowed refining capacity to dwindle, and what Bore would do about it, is beyond me. Taking him to task for "Earth in the Balance", and asking him about his fascist enviromental programs should have been the order of the day. BTW, immediately after Bore made his comment about inventing the internet. the "founder" did come out and dispute it. That he suddenly comes out now and "sucks up" to Bore is his problem, and does not change what he said earlier, or the facts. A lot of people had their hands in the creation, and it was all only a matter of time before it would have come into being anyway.

Barbara Bush Says She Thought Gore Would Hit Son WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former first lady Barbara Bush said on Thursday she was worried Vice President Al Gore would ``hit'' her son, George W. Bush, during their final presidential debate this week. In an interview with ABC's ``Good Morning America'' program, Mrs. Bush criticized Gore, the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, for his aggressive stand during the third presidential debate with her son, the Republican choice for president. ``I thought he was going to hit George,'' said Mrs. Bush, wife of former President George Bush. ``It sort of scared me.'' Mrs. Bush said she did not watch the first debate between the two presidential candidates as she did not like people ''unfairly criticizing'' her children or husband. ``I'm a bad sport about that.'' The proud mother said she ``in awe'' of her son over the past five or six months. ``All of us in the family feel that George is doing a great job and is very presidential,'' said Mrs. Bush, who is on a campaign bus tour this week with her daughter-in-law Laura Bush and other prominent women.
