House Speaker Pelosi Claims Al Gore Invented Internet Technology?

I'm sure by now we are all aware of the Netroots Nation conference that happened in Austin, Texas last weekend. Well, did you know that without Al Gore it wouldn't have happened? That's right, since Al Gore invented the Internet... I know, I know, that is the old Al Gore joke where he famously claimed that he invented the World Wide Web. Everyone knows that AL Gore had little to do with the Internet, of course. But at least one person, obviously one rather easy to bamboozle, still thinks Al Gore did invent the Internet. In fact she thinks he invented all the technology inherent in that Internet. And she is currently the Speaker of the House of Representatives, sadly enough.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi attended the Nutrooters gathering and, as reported in the Houston Chronicle, let loose with this gem while introducing Al Gore to those assembled: "Without him, there would be no Netroots Nation. There wouldn't be the technology."

Huh? Without Al Gore "there wouldn't be the technology" to have an Internet based gathering like Netroots Nation?

She has to be kidding, right?...

I can’t tell you how proud I am to live in a state that elects some of the biggest idiots on the planet to Congress:

Boxer, Pelosi, Loretta Sanchez, Maxine Waters...yeah what is it about California? The water?

[JustaCowgirl]

Please. Try not to be redundant like that.

You right wing meanies!

Don’t you know we are in the presence of gods here? Obama is the messiah and al gore is his idiotic messenger.

Nancy Paloosa has been smokin’ too much weed. The only thing Al Gore invented was Global Warming.

[SkyDancer]

What is his engineering background? Does he have a degree in information technology? He’s as inept a global warming freak as he would be an internet founder .....

[CIDKauf]

Al Gore has nothing to do with NORAD or the US military...so how could he have had anything to do with the invention of the internet.

Boxer, Pelosi, Loretta Sanchez, Maxine Waters...yeah what is it about California? The water?

It's always been about the water.

Exactly - it may have something to do with getting the Internet in schools, maybe, but that’s a push too. Like Jimmah and Love Canal ...
