Give me a break... WASHINGTON (AP) - President Clinton defended Vice President Al Gore's claims that he helped create the Internet - but didn't get it quite right himself Friday as he described the explosive growth of the worldwide computer network since his election. The president defended Gore as "one of the major architects of America's progress in technology" and said he "deserves a lot of appreciation for that." But Clinton also appeared to undercount by almost 5,000 times the size of the Internet when he was first elected. "Keep in mind, I think when I became president in 1993 there were still only 50 or 60 sites on the Internet, and now there are millions and millions," Clinton said. Gore doesn't even know the difference between the World Wide Web (about 20% of the internet sites) and the Internet. Heck, he probably thinks AOL is part of the Internet rather than a VPN. This is such a piteously laughable claim as to be absurd. last(absolutely disgusted)shadow
