Not a fact but a deliberate falsehood, a slander, as the above quote from a *conservative* journalist, in a book *critical* of Al Gore, Jr., published by a *right-wing* house, makes quite clear. You really should take a stab at reading what it says. > Spin it and parse it as you like, Judy. No spinning or parsing necessary, Shemp. The facts are on the record. You also misrepresented our previous discussion; that's on the record too.
