While these things are admittedly funny, it always amazes me how a simple misstatement can follow someone for years. Just look at W. and some of the gaffes he has made over the last six years. Al Gore though simply meant to say he coined the term superhighway, but stupidly said he invented the Internet. He'll never live that down, but then again W. will always be remembered for saying "I know there is a lot of chatter in the blogosphere and on the "Internets."
He just got a smile every now and then when you hear these gaffes, no matter who they come from. Quadius :-) On 5/19/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
