Al Gore was relentlessly pounded for his claim to have invented the internet. He never made that claim.
He SAID, "I took the initiative in creating the Internet." IT'S ON TAPE. Whether or not he "misspoke" he clearly made that idiotic statement. It's a lie to say that "he never made that claim."
I notice that the word "sniper" never occurs in this piece, nor the word "Cambodia." Both of those (the Hillary "sniper fire" story and the Kerry "Christmas in Cambodia" story) are the most egregious inventions that they were caught at, and it tends to invalidate the author's thesis that Democratic gaffes are momentary alipa of the tongue.
Meanwhile, glaring issues potentially devastating to the Republican candidates are kept off the front pages and off the mainstream TV screens
You know, like the Texas Air National Guard documents proving that George W. Bush deserted. And the story that Karl Rove betrayed that covert CIA agent Valerie Plame.
Oops.
