Ish, I heard that somewhere. I heard that the crowd in Florida went wild at that comment

Nothing is easier than making fun of someone else's accomplishments. And no, Gore did not "invent" the Internet; he just recognized its importance early and gave it political support. Something as big as the Internet does not just get invented by PhDs in computer science talking to each other.

Gore should have had bragging rights about the Internet, if he hadn't been silly enough to exaggerate it.

The initial "W" is the only thing GWB has in common with the Internet. Wonder if he's ever even used it?
