in-my-opinion.org -> Politics -> Bush, Kerry, Iraq -> Al Gore is so stupid, he said he invented the internet

Al Gore never said that



Quote:
he said he invented the internet.

1) Al Gore and Clinton played a major role in pushing the internet forward and establishing it USwide. So Al Gore wasn't that far away from the truth.
2) Stop spreading this rumour without citing the original Al Gore words, which are:
Al Gore
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

Exactly.

"I took the initiative to establish an Iraqi government" doesn't mean that I created the Iraqi government.

Moreover inventing and creating are different things, too.

Gore got the Webby Award yesterday for his lifetime achievement: His role in developing the internet.

I don't think George W. Bush would have ever gotten that.
Setting the record straight on one of recent history's most persistent political myths, The Webby Awards will present former Vice President Al Gore with The Webby Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of the pivotal role he has played in the development of the internet over the past three decades. Academy member Vint Cerf, widely credited as a founder of the internet, will present the award to Gore.


The Republicans who made fun of Gore's correct statement have been proven wrong. Case closed

take the initiative



Begin a task or plan of action


The way Gore phrased it is close enough for pundits to make a joke of it. But I think there was a bit too much of a laugh at Gore's expense.

Then again, I feel that Dan Quail was a bit unjustly abused by pundits, too.
