Interesting Facts about Al Gore

1. While appearing as a guest on The Dennis Miller Show (1992), he was asked about having confessed to smoking marijuana. Miller followed the question up by asking, "So, who rolls a tighter joint, you or Tipper?" Gore chuckled and cleverly side-stepped, managing not to give a real answer.

10. From an article by Mountain Democrat columnist David Jacobsen: "In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Taken in context, the sentence, despite some initial ambiguity, means that as a congressman Gore promoted the system we enjoy today, not that he could patent the science, though that's how the quotation has been manipulated. Hence the disingenuous substitution of "inventing" for the actual language."
