Yep.....the political fable of the 20th century:
If President Eisenhower had said in the mid-1960s that he, while president, "took the initiative in creating the Interstate Highway System," he would not have been the subject of dozens and dozens of editorials lampooning him for claiming he "invented" the concept of highways or implying that he personally went out and dug ditches across the country to help build the roadway. Everyone would have understood that Ike meant he was a driving force behind the legislation that created the highway system, and this was the very same concept Al Gore was expressing about himself with his Internet statement.
Actually Comrade, it would be more like if President CARTER said in the mid-70's that he took the initiative to create the interstate highway system.
Blowhard Al was taking credit for technology that had been around for a couple of decades.
Yeah I know, he's a party member so you are required to lie for him, still..
