Relax. He gets monthly royalty checks for inventing the Internet.

Try the truth:

Gore never claimed that he "invented" the Internet, which implies that
he engineered the technology. The invention occurred in the seventies
and allowed scientists in the Defense Department to communicate with
each other. 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.

Why are you an apologist for the asshole, Jon? He's beyond incompetent when
it comes to campaigning. Give the opportunity for another run at the White
House, he'll have so many of his feet in his mouth that he'll have to have
his teeth extracted to make room.

Try this: how are you going to rationalize his comment that his mother used
to sing "Look for the Union Label" to him when he was a small child,
considering the song wasn't written for another ten years?

His lies may have no particular importance, but he does them so frequently
and stupidly.
